• Junior trip to the Manchester Jewish Museum

  Fri 31 Mar 2023

  On Monday, our Junior children visited the Manchester Jewish Museum. Their behaviour was exemplary and the children learned a lot of fascinating facts about not only Judaism, but also the large Jewish community in Manchester. During the visit, the children explored the oldest synagogue in Manchester and a wide range of artefacts in the museum. The children utilised what they had learnt to produce a short documentary video.

• Music Concert

  Fri 24 Mar 2023

  Thank you to all those who were able to join us on Wednesday for our Music Concert at the Village Centre. The children sang beautifully and performed like the accomplished musicians they are; it was a wonderful event for all involved. Watching the children help support each other and perform with such confidence was amazing to see – the staff were incredibly proud of every single child!

  

• World Book Day 2023

  Fri 03 Mar 2023

  The children looked fabulous in their costumes and pyjamas yesterday. They thoroughly enjoyed their ‘World Book Day’ reading activities and learning about the importance of not using digital devices before bedtime – as this significantly affects the quality of their much-needed sleep. They also enjoyed a very special World Book Day Lunch – thank you Kiera!

   

  As always, it was a very difficult task judging the children’s wonderful costumes, but after much deliberation, prizes were awarded to: Safaa, Eesa, Fatima, Aamina, Ruby, Dhakirah and Eiliyah. Thank you to all our families for your continued support and the enormous effort you have evidently put into your child/ren’s costumes – they were fantastic!
