This week in English, the learners have been busy writing up their diary plans, focusing on creating a clear opening, middle, and ending. It has been wonderful to read their entries and see how confidently they are applying their learning. Their growing use of conjunctions, commas, expanded nouns, and exclamatory sentences is really beginning to shine through in their writing.
Home learning
Spelling practice. Your child could draw, paint, sing or write them! A spelling quiz will take place every Thursday morning.

In Maths this week, Year 2 learners have been exploring the faces, edges and vertices of both 2D and 3D shapes. The learners practised identifying these attributes and discussed how they help us tell shapes apart. They looked closely at different 3D shapes, and when creating their own 2D shapes, they focused on choosing the correct number of sides and vertices.
Home Learning
To support their learning , learners can practise their shape knowledge
For example:
Can you explain the difference between edges and vertices?
Can you describe a shape using its attributes (e.g., 'This shape has 4 vertices and 4 edges')?
Science
Science
In Science this week, we returned to our "Light and Dark" experiment, which we began at the start of November. The learners were really excited to see the growth results! They compared the differences in height, leaf colour, and general health of the plants. They completed observational sketches and formed conclusions on what happens if you remove a need from a plant.
To complete our unit on Plants, next week, learners will bring home an experiment to complete at home over the holiday. This will be optional and full details will be provided next week.
Enquiry Learning
Enquiry Learning
In Enquiry Learning we have been identifying human and physical features in Bahrain and UK. We are also developing our understanding of continents and the countries that can be found within them, For example, Bahrain is in the continent of Asia.
Home Learning
To further support their learning, please look at Google Maps or Google Earth and see if your child can find Bahrain and countries near Bahrain. This will be so fascinating!

Christmas with a Pawfect Purpose.
In the spirit of Nadeen’s core values of love, care, and community, we are excited to introduce “Christmas with a Pawfect Purpose.” This special initiative gives our community an opportunity to spread kindness during the festive season by supporting our animal friends in need.
In collaboration with Bahrain Rescues we will be setting up a Christmas tree in the learner entrance decorated with wish-list tags. Each tag will include an item or small contribution that families may choose to provide. Children are welcome to pick a tag from the tree and bring in the corresponding item.
Our Wishlist (all items valued at 5 BD or less):
A bag of cat litter
A bag of cat or dog food
A cosy winter blanket for the dogs
Cleaning supplies
Apples or carrots for Bahrain Rescues’ resident donkey, Dolly
Thank you for helping us make this festive season extra meaningful through small acts of compassion that make a big difference. Your support truly embodies the kindness at the heart of our school community.

Please see the attached flyer for general information. We are asking for donations of toiletries (such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and shampoo) and dry foods, including lentils, rice, dried milk powder, and spices.
We will be collecting donations from next week in the Learner entrance and our contributions will be handed over to the MWPS later on.
Every donation makes a difference, and your support for this important cause is deeply appreciated.

Year 2 French
Year 2 French
Year 2 Learners are really flying with their number recognition.
This week, we have been focusing on developing our reading skills and we looked at how French and English pronunciation differ from one another.
Music
Music
Year 2 learners explored how music can tell a story by reading a graphic score that depicts the journey of a train. They learned to follow symbols representing different sounds, such as chugging wheels, whistles and fast-moving sections. Working together, they used their voices to perform each part in sequence, building confidence as they matched the shapes on the score to the changing moods of the train’s journey.
