Year 1
Assalamu’alaikum and welcome to all Year 1 children and parents for this academic year!
As salamu alaikum Parents and children!
Out of Reception and into Year 1.
Reminiscing!
After being trapped indoors for much of this Spring term (so far) with blustery winds and heavy showers year one are remembering all the fun they had outdoors over the summer… a whole week of outdoor learning in the sunshine… (the whole class including staff sigh).
On the plus side we have learnt the Du’aa for when it rains!
اللَّهمَّ صَيِّبا ً نَافِعا.ً
‘O Allah, may it be a beneficial rain cloud.’
