Reception - Learning about Communities!
Our Reception students have crossed time periods and geographical landscapes in their current topic all about 'Communities'. From dressing up using different costumes from their costume box, to exploring the various modes of transport and food of different countries and cultures. It's great to see some of our youngest students engaging in such interactive exploration about the wider world around them! Our Reception class was able to travel across the world through the use of photos and visual mediums, and it certainly seems as if they had a good time!
Our Snail Garden!
Though our BHA Peace Garden is still in progress, our Year 6 girls took the initiative to add their own twist to the garden space; by using rocks, plants and flowers, our students made a beautiful habitat, one which the snails also seem to find very comfortable!
Catch us at Artsdepot Theatre!
Save the date for May 25th, because that's when our student body from Years 1-6 will be performing at ArtsDepot theatre; we've got an exciting extravaganza lined up for you for the afternoon, ranging from a multitude of nasheed performances, to an exciting play titled 'When the Clock Strikes Eid' and the official launch of our new BHA anthem, which our students have had the pleasure of creating alongside HalalBeats (a digital media company specializing in Islamic vocals).
So book your tickets now, and we hope to see you soon!

EYFS - Crowns for the Coronation!
With the impending coronation marking one of the biggest changes in recent British history, our students have been learning all about the coronation and King Charles III. Our Nursery and Reception students have made delightful crowns as part of their learning on the event, and we think they've done a fabulous job!
It's important, as British citizens, that our children are well-equipped and informed about the wider world, information which serves to supplement their Islamic education, allowing them to be able to broaden their understanding on their identity as British Muslims.
