What an incredible week! 🇪🇸💛🇪🇸💜

🌙✨ Whole School Eid Celebration ✨🌙

Today, our whole school came together to celebrate Eid in a day filled with joy, learning, and community spirit! 🕌🎉

The children enjoyed a variety of exciting activities, including Bollywood dancing 💃🕺, painting 🎨, crafts ✂️, and food tasting 🍽️😋.

A special shout-out goes to Eesa, Sulayman, and Saif 👏⭐, who planned and delivered an engaging Eid workshop for all children in KS1 and KS2. They taught the children greetings and numbers in both Urdu and Arabic 🗣️📚, and Saif beautifully recited a naat (hymn) in Arabic 🎤🌟. Well done, boys — you should be very proud of yourselves! 🙌

A huge thank you to all the parents and carers ❤️ who supported the celebrations by providing beautiful mehndi designs 🌿🤲 and sharing delicious food for the children to enjoy 🍛🥮.

It was a truly special day, full of smiles 😊, cultural learning 🌍, and wonderful memories that will last for a long time. 💫

A huge thank you to Kidsgrove Rotary club who kindly donated many items for our Community Cabin. It is lovely to see members of our community come together to support us after the break in.

🏔️ Our amazing team has raised nearly £2,000 on their Snowdon climb in support of our colleague Dani, who is bravely fighting breast cancer. 💗

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported us so far — your kindness means so much to Dani and to all of us.

Reaching £2,000 would be a fantastic milestone, and every extra donation helps us get there. If you can spare even a little, it would mean the world. Every penny counts!

Let’s keep going for Dani.

Reception Visit to Tatton Park Farm 🐷🐮🌿

Reception had a wonderful day at Tatton Park Farm! They started the day by visiting the different animals around the farm. To the children’s delight, they saw piglets that were born just two weeks ago! They also met cows, goats, chicks, pigs, and lambs.

As they explored the farm, they visited the milking station, where the children watched a video showing how milking has changed over time. They then had the opportunity to try “milking” a cow themselves!

After lunch, they enjoyed a walk around the beautiful gardens, listening to stories along the way, before ending the day with lots of fun in the play area.

The children behaved impeccably throughout the trip and were a credit to the school. A fantastic day was had by all! 💜💛
