Congratulations to our lucky 100 Club winners for May and June

Your prizes will be ready to collect from the school office shortly

In May, our Year 5 pupils planned a special project in small groups, as part of our Green Schools Project, to try and reduce our school's carbon footprint. These have ranged from growing herbs and flowers to surveying pupils about food options (and trying to reduce food waste) to campaigning for cleaner air. 

You can see one of their banners on the fence outside the 'Waitrose Gate' and we hope you will support them by turning off your engine when stopped in the car park to improve air quality around our school.

On Thursday, Aleen explained the ritual and importance of praying for a Muslim to Larch Class.

 She showed us her prayer mat and a special digital tasbih. A Muslim clicker, commonly known as a digital tasbih, zikr ring, or electronic tally counter, is a small device used to record prayer recitations, specifically for tracking daily Dhikr (remembrance of Allah). It serves as a modern alternative to traditional prayer beads, allowing users to keep count of phrases like "SubhanAllah" (33 times), "Alhamdulillah" (33 times), and "Allahu Akbar" (34 times) after prayers.

She also shared what she knew about ‘wudu’:

Wudu is the Islamic ritual purification process (ablution) required before performing daily prayers (Salah) or reading the Quran. It involves washing the hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, head, ears, and feet in a specific order. It is a physical and spiritual preparation that ensures a Muslim is clean before worshipping.

Well done, Aleen!
