Photos from Brambles Primary Academy's postWe would like to wish all of our children and families celebrating in the holidays, a very Happy Eid 🌙✨ Earlier this week, some of our children had the wonderful opportunity to visit Orchard Primary Academy. They shared their own experiences of Eid, answered lots of thoughtful questions about how it is celebrated, and took part in some lovely creative Eid arts and crafts activities. Our children absolutely loved the visit and were fantastic ambassadors for our school. It was great to see them so confidently sharing their knowledge and traditions. The children at Orchard Primary also learned so much about Eid, making it a really special and meaningful experience for everyone involved. Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating! 💛 8 Likes
