UFO's invade Islamia read all about it.
On Friday, the school is having a book fair in the gym.
Also in order to raise money for BBC Children in Need the children will have a non-uniform day.
We've just got time to tell you about an exciting new art competition where you can win a family trip to the zoo. Click on the postcard to find out more.
School will reopen on Monday 30th November - we hope to see you then, Insha'Allah. In the meantime remember us in your du'aas, especially those blessed enough to go on Hajj.

Sports week was a blast. Quick thinking, team building, combined with physical training were the order of the day. Outdoor adventures, archery, multi skills workshops and yoga to name a few were all experienced by the children. Thank you to our wonderful sports co-ordinator Teacher Lamees, marvellous Mick Mcdonell, amazing Amanda Ling, magical Marc Andrews and quick fire Colin Oakley!

Year 4b are piloting a new web based resource virtual classroom. So far children have been able to learn about their topic in science, e-mail each other, and have classroom discussions; all online.

Please remember that Hajj week is coming up. The curriculum will be topic based, encourage your kids to have a go at the art competition (see below) and they may win the mystery prize (oooooh!)

Thank you to all the parents and children who made shoebox gifts to send to children in Africa. We had a lot of wonderfully decorated boxes to deliver. May Allah repay your kindness tenfold.

We have our Hajj break which will begin on the 23rd of November. For those of you who are off to Hajj, remember us in your duas, and may Allah grant you a safe journey and an accepted Hajj.

Deadline: 20th November 2009

We are now in full swing of the Autumn term and Islamia is buzzing with excitement. A special marhaba to all of our reception children who are now part of the Islamia family! We hope that this will be the start of a beautiful journey.

So what’s new with Islamia?
Reception has been refurbished with a new outdoor area. In our drive to improve ICT at Islamia the Year 6 children have been given 26 laptops to use in school. We also are in the process of renewing our courtyard. The masjid has been given new carpets and a brand new colour scheme.

Our latest newsletter was given out, please click here if you missed it.

Please remember that our half term will start on Monday the 23rd of November, to coincide with Hajj.

Finally thank you to all of our parents (and to those of our neighbours, Salusbury Primary) who donated their children’s shoes for the Africa shoe aid appeal.

Insha'Allah, the canteen will reopen on Monday 19th October.

The canteen will be closed from Wednesday 7th October for some essential refurbishment. It will not be serving any hot food. Therefore, ALL children will be required to bring a packed lunch for school dinners. We anticipate that this will take approximately 2 weeks, Insha'Allah. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

"Taqabbal Allah minna wa minkum (May Allaah accept from us and you)"
Eid Mubarak from all of us at IPS. We hope you had a brilliant and enjoyable day shared with friends and family. We thank Allah for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us and remember those in more difficult situations.

Insha'Allah, we'll be coming back to school on Wednesday 23rd September 09. School uniform will be sold the day before on Tuesday 22nd September 09. If your child wasn't here in the last few days of school they will have missed that letters that were handed out. These are available on the letters page.

A few changes have been made to the website. The staff list has been updated so you can check out who your teacher will be. The new calendar is online, which you can download if you have (already!) misplaced yours. Br Akhtar, our Chair of Governors, has provided us with a very thought-provoking statement. So, please do read it. In the gallery you can see pictures of our library and some of the children's work. Insha'Allah, we hope to add more photos soon.

Under further information, you can find out about our uniform and school dinners. A menu is now available for download. There is useful information about attendance and any forms you may require, such as for holiday leave or absence, can be printed off.

Two of our policies have ben uploaded. Insha'Allaah the rest will follow. And have you read our last OFSTED report?

Here we are! The school year is over, what an amazing few weeks it has been let alone a year. First of all thank you for all your support in our family funday held in Queens Park and organised by our wonderful Parent Staff Association team. A big big jazakallah khair to Br Ibrahim, our tireless Sr Zubia and the ever smiling Sr Annalise. The event was a success with people from all over coming round to have fun, socialise and pick up a bargain or two.

Ending the school year also means a lot of goodbyes, and so we say farewell to our lovely Year 6. You are amazing children and we will miss you. A well deserved thank you to each and every one of them for the brilliant play, which was not only well acted but very, very witty. Amina Ahmed and Ali Ahdash; hats off to your comic timing. In between our restrained tears and heartfelt hugs we pray that Allah will continually guide you and we hope that the joy that you brought to the people around you at Islamia will only spread to your new environments.

And since we are saying jazakallah khair to a few people, we’d like to say a thank you to all our parents for all your support and prayers over the years. The teachers will be taking a (well deserved!) rest, over the summer holidays, recharging body, mind and soul. Insha'Allah, we hope to see you all after Ramadan, please keep an eye on the website from time to time - we will be updating it.

Take care, have fun and may Allah be with you.

School will be closing on Friday 17th July 09. This is earlier than the date previously advertised.
Year 6 will be holding their leavers assembley on Wednesday 15th July 09 between 9:30am - 10:30am. All Year 6 parents and guardians only are invited to attend.
