Welcome! We have had a very busy, yet fun week in Olive tree class. We have been working very hard.

In Math's we have been learning all about numbers, ordering and sorting objects into groups. The children did a great job.

In English, we have been showcasing our writing skills and using our phonics to help us read and write. 

We also carried out a little science experiment focusing on the importance of washing our hands. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

Our Arabic curriculum is very unique as we develop it in school. We continuously improve our resources hence you will not be able to find a similar one elsewhere.  

The Arabic Learning Adventure poster is an overview of yearly topics (curriculum) we teach in year 1 class. It contains teaching slide samples we use in class. We hope you will find this helpful in understanding what is being taught in class and also hope it will help you prompt children to tell you more about what is being taught in class.

Barakallahu feekumn
