End of Spring Term 🌼

Assalamu alaikum!

Dear Parents and Carers,

We’ve had a wonderful week of learning and celebration across the school!

🌟 Year 1 News:

Our young readers have started diving into The Three Billy Goats Gruff! 🐐 They’ve done a fantastic job predicting what the story might be about and have even retold the tale in their own sentences 📖—brilliant storytelling all around! In Maths, they’ve wrapped up their topic on measurement, and we’re proud to say they’ve completed their Phonics 📗 Screening Check Mock with great confidence and success. Well done, Year 1!

🎨 Year 2/3 Highlights:

In Art, Year 2/3 have been exploring the concept of sustainability by constructing a model of Masjid Nabawi using recycled materials – a creative and meaningful project that combined learning and care for the environment. In English, they’ve been discovering the beauty of Japanese haiku poems. Inspired by this elegant style, they wrote their own haikus themed around Eid and Ramadan – full of reflection and creativity.

🌍 Year 4/5 Reflections:

As we draw to the close of a truly inspiring spring term, we can all look back with pride on our journey into sustainability! Over the term, we not only built a beautiful mosque from recycled materials and created our very own green city 🏙🌱, but we also explored the importance of different energy sources and discovered which ones are most healthy for our planet 💡. The creativity and curiosity shown by the students have been exceptional!

🌙 Eid Party & Umrah Presentation:

A huge thank you to all the parents who came in today and to those who contributed delicious dishes for our Eid party – we clearly have some amazing chefs in our Daffodil community! The students were incredibly proud of their Umrah presentations, and we hope you enjoyed seeing their learning come to life.

Friday Quiz

A massive thank you to br. Nabil who has been leading the Jummah prayers and khutbah's here at Daffodil. Students recieved prizes for their amazing efforts during their quizzes based on the insightful and intriguing khutbah's delivered by br. Nabil.

🗣 KS2 Debate Club:

We’re excited to announce that our KS2 Debate Club will be launching after the holidays! Sessions will take place on Tuesdays from 3:30–4:00pm and are open to pupils in Years 3, 4, and 5. A great opportunity to build confidence, critical thinking, and public speaking skills!

📚 End-of-Term Wrap-Up:

We wrapped up the week with some insightful tests designed to prepare us for important assessments that many of our students will sit during the summer term ✏. As we now break for the Easter holidays, it’s the perfect time to keep our minds active and engaged. That’s why we have provided special end-of-term packs, packed with fun and challenging activities for the holidays 🐣📚.

Enjoy the lovely weather, stay curious, and have a wonderful Easter break filled with both rest and learning. Let’s keep the positive energy flowing until we meet again! 🌟

📅 Looking Ahead:

We have some exciting events and news coming up next term, and we look forward to seeing you all when we return Tuesday 22nd of April.

Kindest regards,

The Daffodil Team
