Read MoreYear 4 has been busy bringing the rainforest to life!
Published 13/02/26, by Nafisah MahmoodEach child created their own rainforest diorama, carefully including animals, plants, and the different layers of the rainforest.
Through this project, Year 4 has been learning about the life cycles of plants and animals and how everything in nature depends on each other. They explored the balance and harmony in creation, reflecting the perfection of Allah’s world. We also discussed how Islam teaches us to care for the environment and all living creatures. It has been wonderful to see their creativity, learning, and faith come together in such a hands-on project!
'In Art this week, we’ve been exploring the world of rainforests! We got crafty and built 3D dioramas using simple materials like old shoe boxes, tissue paper, felt, and coloured cards. I enjoyed painting the box, creating the waterfall and being able to use my own creativity.'–Talha & Ilyas
Read MoreYear 4 Podcast Fun: The Ghost Thief
Published 04/02/26, by Nafisah MahmoodIn Year 4, we have been enjoying learning about The Ghost Thief podcast story. We listened carefully to each episode, talked about the characters, and shared our ideas about what might happen next. We also learnt how voices, sound effects, and music can make a story exciting and help listeners imagine what is happening.
After listening to the story, we created our own podcasts! We planned our ideas, wrote our own scripts, and practised speaking clearly and with expression. We worked together to record our voices and thought carefully about how to make our podcasts fun and interesting for others to enjoy. This helped us build confidence, creativity, and teamwork skills.

A Pictish stone is a monument made from stone that is generally carved with symbols and designs that represent various clans and lineages. We mould our stones using our hands. We carved our initials into our stones using the Ogham alphabet.

Read MoreDifferent drinks and their effect on your teeth
Published 25/03/24, by Aysha BegumWe conducted an investigation showing the effects of liquids on our teeth. We used cola, water and fruit juice and left it overnight. We found that liquids that are high in sugar and acids are harmful to our teeth and can weaken them over time. Water is the best liquid to drink to keep our teeth nice and healthy!
