Dear parents,
Ramadan is expected to start on Thursday 23rd March, so I would like to wish you Ramadan Mubarak and send my warmest wishes to you and your family during this special time.
We are aware that some of the older William Patten children may wish to fast on some days during Ramadan. If your child is planning to fast, please can you inform us in advance and also let us know if you are happy for them to break fasting if they wish to.
We would like to celebrate together with our families at a special William Patten Eid Party on Wednesday 26th April.
We are asking our families who celebrate Eid to donate food that they have as part of their family celebrations. Ali will also be making food to share as will other staff in the school. The food can be sweet or savoury, but it must all be vegetarian and nut free.
§ The children can wear their special Eid clothes if they would like to on the day.
§ We will be having a special Eid assembly for EYFS / KS1 and KS2 and each class will be having a lesson to find out more about the importance of Ramadan and Eid to Muslims around the world.
We would very much like parents to join us on the day, please email rquigley@williampatten.hackney.sch.uk if you can help out with bringing food or serving at the Eid party.
We look forward to sharing the celebration of Eid with all the William Patten community.
Many thanks indeed
Best wishes
Karen
