This week in English, learners used their plans to write their completed newspaper reports, applying the writer’s knowledge they developed throughout the unit. They included features such as using dashes to add extra information, choosing between formal and informal language, and incorporating both direct and indirect speech to report events clearly. Learners also practised selecting active or passive voice to suit the purpose of the sentence and used semicolons to write phrases in a list. By combining these skills, they produced well-structured, detailed newspaper reports that show strong progress and growing confidence in their writing.

This week in maths, we continued our work on fractions by finding fractions of a whole before moving on to finding fractions of an amount. Learners then began revisiting key skills from across the unit, including dividing and multiplying fractions by both fractions and whole numbers, finding fractions of a whole, and calculating fractions of an amount. They also applied their understanding to a range of problem-solving questions linked to these concepts.

This week in Science, learners continued exploring sustainable energy and applied their understanding to real-life problems around the school.
They worked on designing solutions that use renewable energy sources—such as wind and solar power—to make our school more environmentally friendly.
Learners thought carefully about practicality, impact, and sustainability as they refined and completed their energy-saving designs.

Year 6 Learners had their first experience of partner dictation in this week's lessons.
The activity consists of learners working in pairs with one being the runner and the other being the writer. The runner moves around the classroom and reads sentences, memorising as much of them as they can then reciting them to their writer partner.
Halfway through, everyone swaps round so that they experience both roles.
Points were awarded for accuracy including the correct placement of apostrophes and accents.
Music

A group of enthusiastic Year 5 and 6 musicians enjoyed an inspiring trip to the Bahrain National Theatre, where they attended an educational concert performed by the Bahrain National Orchestra. During the visit, the learners learnt about the different sections of the orchestra and how each family of instruments contributes to the overall sound. They were captivated by a programme that featured traditional Arabic music alongside well-known pieces from the stage and screen, giving them a rich and varied musical experience. The trip left the young musicians buzzing with excitement and a deeper appreciation for orchestral music.

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.
