This July, The Path to Arabic is launching its very first Bilingual Summer School — a fun-filled week where children will explore the world through their five senses in both Arabic and English.
Whether your child is just starting out with Arabic or already building their skills, this programme is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and create memorable learning experiences in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Places are only confirmed once payment has been received.
If your child has any Additional Support Needs, please email thepathtoarabic@gmail.com to see if we can accommodate your child.
Children will discover the world around them through five sensory themes, with every activity delivered bilingually in Arabic and English.
Colours, shapes, I Spy games, arts and crafts, nature walks and observation activities.
Sounds around us, listening games, musical activities, rhymes and songs, sound matching.
Different scents, guess-the-smell challenges, nature exploration, spice discovery, memory games.
Textures and materials, sensory play, touch-and-guess games, crafts with different feels, sorting activities.
Sweet, sour, salty and bitter exploration, healthy snacks, taste testing, food sorting, talking about favourites.
