Tutor Time on Thursday 18th April with 9 Ridgeway included a special celebration as they hosted a party in the Bridge Club to celebrate Eid, led by Mr Godfray and Sahar Al Kadri (9Ridgeway). The party featured Eid music and Eid bunting, snacks, chocolates and balloons, as well as a short speech by Ghalia Tomeh(10Burrows) about the meaning of Ramadan and Eid.
Twelve of our students across the different school years have been observing Ramadan, which culminated with the sighting of the moon and Eid ul-Fitr on 10th April. Special invitations were designed and delivered to invite them all to join with 9Ridgeway. Everyone enjoyed the chance to try a selection of delicious Eid treats kindly baked by Sahar's mum, including ma'amoul (butter cookies filled with chopped dates), seed biscuits and warm puff-pastry triangles stuffed with rose-scented curd cheese.
It was a true privilege to be together and our special thanks go to Mr Godfray and all who helped make this possible. Eid Mubarak!
