The Year 3 and 4 children went down to the Year 1 and 2 class and the Year 5 and 6 children went down to the children in EYFS and spent time reading to them. The Year 1 and 2 children also got the opportunity to read to the older children. It was encouraging to see how well the Year 3 and 4 children listened and supported the younger children which really boosted their confidence in reading. The children in Nursey and Reception chose a book that they wanted the older children to read to them. It was inspiring to see how well the Year 5 and 6 children shared the books with the younger children. They demonstrated patience and kindness and it was a pleasure to witness.

On March 21st we observed World Down Syndrome day at Buttercup. The theme this year was ‘We call for people and organisations around the world to be With Us Not For Us’. The children discussed why people with disabilities have the right to be treated fairly and have the same opportunities as everyone else, working With others to improve their lives.

The school organised a charity bake sale to raise funds for the victims of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. The event took place on Friday 10th March 2023. Children, parents and staff  made and contributed cakes, biscuits, sweet cones, popcorn cones amongst other goodies to sell on the day.

The event was such a success and we managed to raise over £800 Ma Sha Allah! May Allah reward everyone for their efforts. Ameen.

The girls and the staff were gifted beautiful hijabs by the headteacher Miss Zara, to celebrate World hijab day. They were reminded that the head scarf is not a barrier to prevent them from succeeding in life. Girls can dream big and become whatever they want and that the head scarf is not just a piece of material but their crown!

Science Week Year 3 and 4 children took a plunge into the world of scientific learning and discovery. They engaged in a practical lesson looking at plant and animal cells using a light microscope. The children were beyond amazed and intrigued by what they discovered. This lesson was essential as it deepened their understanding on how everything is made out of the smallest building blocks called ‘atoms,’ which we covered in the previous lesson.

Eco Ambassadors litter picking day

Our Eco Ambassadors are taking littering issues into their own hands, after piles of rubbish started to appear nearby.

Our Ambassadors didn’t want to just make posters to raise awareness but they wanted to be involved and so they proposed a school litter pick. Its fantastic to know our children care about our local community MashAllah!

It has been Narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira Radi Allahu Anhu that the, Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “While a man walks along a path, finds a thorny twig lying on the way and puts it aside, Allah would appreciate it and forgive him.”

[Sahih Muslim :: Book 33 :: Hadith 235]

Just remember this beautiful sunnah when you see a harmful thing on the road/path. Let us revive the Sunnah in every aspect of our lives Insha Allah!
