I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and if you were celebrating I hope you had a wonderful time!! Eid Mubarak!
I was sent some amazing pictures from your Mums and Dads of some of you looking very smart! You all looked fantastic!

Issa was very lucky and received a gift, lucky Issa!! Enjoy playing.
Arham and his family look amazing dressed up and ready to celebrate! What a lovely family picture!
Rida and her family got dressed up to celebrate and they looked very handsome and beautiful! Mum and Rida were even matching!
Ajwa prepares for Iftari. That all looks like very yummy food.
We made some very yummy celebration food so we were able to celebrate alongside you. We made Pakora, Roti, Biryani, Chorba and Gulab Jamun. We were all very full after eating such amazing food!
I was also gifted the best meal I have ever had from one of our Amazing Mums! I felt very blessed and thankful for such amazing food!
Here are some tasks that you could complete. Remember all of the tasks available on the blog are things you COULD do, you do not have to do them all. 🙂
LITERACY:
Another chapter of Harry Potter is available, this time read by Jamie Parker and the Broadway cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Rida made an interesting selection of healthy food.
Shahmir and Shanzay got an interesting delivery from Miss Bull!
Today must be exciting, knowing you will be celebrating soon!
In order to help make this Eid a little more special, you could:
-write about your favourite Eid celebrations you have had in the past.
-write about what you are most looking forward to this Eid.
-write about what Ramadan and Eid mean to you.
-you could illustrate your favourite Eid celebration or create a story map of the celebration.
If you are not celebrating Ramadan and Eid, think of your special celebrations to reflect on. This exercise is about reflecting on our celebrations and what they mean to us.
Miss Bhatti made a fantastic video that shows what you could be doing to prepare for Eid.
We also have this weeks assembly, which focuses on Faith.
READING
Missing you lots and sending you so much love over this weekend!!
Good Morning Primary 2! I hope everyone is well ❤️
Issa managed to get outside and enjoy the sunshine yesterday! That looks like lots of fun.
Rida has been finding lots of books at home and is making her way through them all.
Incase you missed Mr Corrigans live video, here it is! I hope you manage to join us live next time so we can have chat in the comments.
ART:
I was wondering if you could make an Eid Card for someone in your family? If you make it quick enough, you might even be able to post it to someone in another house!
READING AND COMPREHENSION:
How long does it take to get to the moon?
What do they go exploring on when they are on the moon?
What countries flag was planted on the moon?
What gets left behind on the moon?
What kind of book do you think this is? Fiction or Non-Fiction?
Before Mr Corrigans reads the book, have a look at the front cover and think about what might happen in the book? Who are the main characters? Where is the story set.
ART:
Mr Corrigan is also helping you to create some Eid Moon Art. I would love to see pictures if you give this a go!!
LITERACY:
We have chapter 5 today, this time read by 3 different people!
It was Rida’s aunties birthday yesterday, as they were not able to celebrate together, Rida and her family had a birthday celebration for her at home.
Inayah is trying to decide what pretty dress she is going to wear to celebrate Eid. I think the one she has chosen is beautiful!!
Shahmir is still working hard, he is completing lots of fantastic school work and enjoying himself outside. I think I spy someone we know in the back of Shahmir’s outdoors picture.. can we guess who it is?
Last week Miss Bull posted a fantastic blog about Ramadan and Eid, and she gave me the idea to do something similar.
As we know, Ramadan is a very special time, and you must be really looking forward to Eid. It might be hard not sharing these special times with you family, however it will not be long before we are able to give out loved ones a MASSIVE HUG!
This is my first year at St Alberts and I have never been at the school when you are celebrating and preparing for Eid, so I would love if you could help me out and tell me all about Ramadan and Eid.
If you do not celebrate Eid, this is also a great time for you to find out a little bit more about it.
Miss Bull prepared a video with some fantastic questions:
What does ‘fasting’ mean? Why do Muslims fast during Ramadan?
What do these words mean; Suhoor/Sehri, Iftar, Zakat?
Ramadan is the ninth month in the islamic Lunar calendar, but what is a lunar calendar based on?
Ramadan starts when religious leaders tell everyone that they have seen a certain type of moon – Which moon is that?
What special things do you do with your family during the 3 day Eid celebrations?
Ask the adults in your family the questions to help you find out the answers and then ask them to help you type your answers into the comments box on the video.
Here is an interesting video all about a little boy who shares his ideas of how to celebrate Ramdan with your family during the Corona Virus Lock Down.
Good Morning – A new week is another week for you to be amazing!
Here are some things you have been doing over the weekend.
Inayah had made a beautiful Eid Poster for her mum. I wonder if you could make an Eid poster and tell me what you are looking forward to the most about Eid?
Rida must have been working very hard. She got a new treat of sharpies.
Abdullah has been working hard again doing both literacy and maths.
MATHS
Now is time to show off all of the times table practice we had last week. Give this colouring activity a go:
Good Morning Primary 2, I hope everyone in your house enjoyed their hugs and compliments from yesterdays challenge.
YOUTUBE
Around 2.30pm the super star that is Mr Corrigan is going to be going LIVE on our YouTube channel. Click on the link to give him some support and listen to his story, he must be at least a little nervous.

Issa has been on Sumdog then enjoying some problem solving time with his brother playing with lego.
Abdullah made his way through a couple more pages of his home learning pack and made very yummy looking cakes!
