Recycling Paper

In every classroom there is a new, green, recycling bin. If you have any paper rubbish or you have drawn on the paper you can put it in the green recycling bin. You are not allowed to put food scraps in the green recycling bins. This paper goes into a big recycling bin at the back of D Block.
We have to be really careful about what we put inside those green recycling bins - only paper. Put your food scraps in the yellow bins for the animals and all other rubbish in the big dark green bins.

Help our school to recycle!

Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar Islamic calendar. It's the sacred month because in this month the Holy Qu'ran was revealed to Prophet Muhammed. (Peace be upon him) In Ramadan Muslims all around the world fast which lasts 29-30 days. Everyday Muslims wake up before dawn to eat and break their fast at sunset. One has to abstain from food and drink, increased recitation of the Holy Qu'ran, have extended prayers and keep away from forbidden acts such as gossips, stealing, telling lies etc...

Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. It draws one closer to Allah (God) by the aiding in purification of the heart/soul and helps to improve ones character. During the month of Ramadan one is encouraged to do praiseworthy acts eg charity, kindness, generosity, patience and forgiveness. In 2012 Ramadan starts on the 20th of July and ends on the 18th of August. (all depends on the sighting of the new crescent moon) Every year Ramadan begins eleven days earlier than the previous year.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~Eid Ul-Fitr~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Eid ul-fitr is celebrated after completing the fasting month of Ramadan. Early in the morning the Muslims attend a large congregational prayer at the mosque or at centres/halls. The rest of the day is enjoyed by visiting families and friends. The best part is receiving money and gifts. Eid lasts 3 days.

Father's Day

Did you know that Father's Day is on second of September? What are you going to give your dad? Or you can give a gift to a man who deserves it, like your teacher, uncle, grandad and your brother. Your father is someone that is really going to encourage you in life. A Father loves their children/child a lot even when he is not feeling well. So this is why a dad or another important man really deserves to be loved a lot. Here is an acrostic poem:

Funny father

He loves you alot
