As part of our Eid celebrations, our children took part in a wonderful Hajj experience, learning about this meaningful journey through hands-on activities and interactive learning experiences. It was lovely to see the children so engaged, respectful, and excited as they explored the importance and values of this special ritual.
Wishing all our families a joyful and blessed Eid Al Adha filled with peace and happiness.
في إطار احتفالاتنا بعيد الأضحى المبارك، شارك طلابنا في تجربة مميزة للتعرّف على مناسك الحج، حيث تعلّموا عن هذه الرحلة العظيمة من خلال أنشطة عملية وتجارب تعليمية تفاعلية. وقد كان من الرائع رؤية الأطفال متفاعلين ومتحمسين، وهم يكتشفون أهمية هذه الشعيرة العظيمة والقيم التي تحملها.

🎶 Song of Sounds Day 🎶

On Friday 15th May, our Year 1 children came to school dressed as their favourite sound from Song of Sounds! We were so impressed with the creativity and effort that went into every costume! 🌟

The children enjoyed lots of fun activities throughout the day and proudly took part in a costume parade around the courtyard. Mrs Coleman and Miss H-L had the very difficult job of choosing the best costume from each class! 👏

Miss Holding was so impressed with all the amazing costumes that she awarded the children an extra 2 Pearl Points! ✨

We had a fantastic day full of fun, learning and smiles – well done, Year 1! 💛
