Springโฆ
As the nights are getting slightly lighter for longer and the sun is trying to work itโs way through to see us a bit more, it is so nice to see the flowers growing and the cycle of the trees beginning to get their leaves back.
Spring also brings Easter, which for Christians brings the promise of new life.
The picture shown above is now a new addition at the bottom of our Year 3/4 staircase. I think it symbolises nature in our world (at the same time adding a little bit of colour and texture to our corridor - thanks again to Mrs Tierney!).
Sometimes it is important to step back and look at the world around us and the seasons and changes.
With all of the rush of life, the simple things are sometimes missed and the seasons seem to come and go. Nature is a wonderful thing and our world is so inspiring. Now the nicer days are coming, hopefully, I encourage everyone to get outside more and enjoy the nature around them.
Take time with family to enjoy the world around us.
Look out for more colour over next half term in our grounds too!

11 * March (Monday) to 10 April (Wednesday) RAMADAN Muslim
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic Calendar, when the Prophet received the first revelation of verses of the Qurโan. It is the holiest month for Muslims, and they dedicate themselves to spiritual renewal, prayer and intensive devotional reading of the Qurโan. During the month of Ramadan Muslims are required to fast from daybreak until after sunset. No food or drink may be consumed during the hours of fasting, and those fasting must also abstain from smoking and from sexual relations. After the custom of the Prophet, the fast is traditionally broken each evening by taking dates and water.

Article 12
Having the visit from Derek and some of the volunteers at Together Dementia Support got us very much in the spirit for supporting this highly worthwhile charity . We cannot wait to have our Easter Bunny Hop event on Monday and raise some money to help this charity continue its important work and support for families in need.
We have a busy week next week with lots of Easter Events (see previous message sent) and cannot wait to have lots of fun at the same time.
Shorter week next week with us finishing for our Easter holidays at 1.30pm next Thursday.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Flatman
