This week, learners proudly published their final information reports on polar bears. After carefully editing and improving their drafts, they produced clear, detailed, and beautifully presented pieces of writing. It has been wonderful to see how much they have grown as writers throughout this unit, and they truly enjoyed the journey from research to planning, drafting, editing, and finally publishing their work. Their finished reports showcase fantastic effort, technical vocabulary, and real pride in their learning!
Spellings
There will be no spellings set for over the holidays.
This week, we wrapped up our unit on area. Learners can now confidently determine the area of 2D shapes and apply this knowledge to problem-solving. They concluded the unit with a quiz on area.
Next term, we'll be revisiting multiplication tables and introducing the formal methods for multiplication and division.
This week in PSHE, Year 4 have been learning about the importance of helping those who are less fortunate, especially during the festive season. The learners discussed how this time of year can be difficult for many families and animals and why acts of kindness can make a big difference.
We explored a range of ways people can help, including taking part in community toy drives, donating useful items to animal rescue centres and supporting “adopt a pet” schemes that provide food and care for animals in need. The learners shared thoughtful ideas about why these charities and projects are important, and reflected on how even small contributions can bring comfort and joy to others.
Enquiry Learning
This week, we had our Celebration of Learning. Our learners proudly shared their amazing Stone Age jewellery designs and explained their ideas with confidence. The learners also continued exploring how early humans expressed themselves through jewellery. They worked on developing their Stone Age necklace designs and added more detail to their clay bead plans. We revisited how natural materials were used to create personal and meaningful items in the past. The class showed wonderful creativity and enthusiasm throughout the activity.

You can share your child’s completed activities with your class teacher, they will provide brief feedback to your child in class time.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to your class teacher or Year Leader.
Year 4 learners have made super progress since we began our weekly French sessions at the start of the school year.
Trying to pronounce new words correctly in a foreign language can be quite daunting so it's been wonderful to see how their confidence has grown and how even the shyer members of classes are keener to have a go.
After the break, I will look forward to sharing more songs and games to build on what we have already learnt and to introduce lots of exciting new vocabulary.
Bonne Année/Happy New to you all!

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.

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

Winter Shoebox Appeal
Nadeen School is once again supporting the Migrant Workers Protection Society (MWPS) Winter Shoebox Appeal. This annual initiative takes place in November, as we approach the winter season, and aims to collect essential items for vulnerable members of our community.
We invite your child to participate by helping to pack a decorated shoebox or backpack with much-needed items. The children will box these up at home and bring them into school.
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.
