Iqra Primary School was full of excitement and wonder as a very special visitor arrived – none other than Postman Pat! In the spirit of Eid and Ramadan, children across the school wrote heartfelt Eid cards to their friends and teachers, posting them into the school’s very own post box. To their delight, Postman Pat came to collect the cards and hand-delivered them around the school, bringing big smiles and festive cheer to every classroom.

But that wasn’t all – Postman Pat also brought along a special Eid gift for every single child at Iqra Primary, making the day even more magical! The joy and excitement were felt throughout the school as children received their surprise gifts ahead of the Eid celebrations.

In the lead-up to this heart-warming event, pupils also took part in a creative Eid card competition. Children put their artistic skills to the test, designing vibrant and thoughtful cards to celebrate Eid. From colourful patterns to heartfelt messages, the entries showcased the creativity and spirit of our talented pupils.

Nine winning designs were selected and professionally printed – a moment of pride for the winners and their families! The winning pupils were:

• Hajirah Ali – EYFS

• Aliza Osman – Year 1

• Hoorain Ghafoor – Year 2

• Eisa Hussain – Year 3

• Mehak Hamid – Year 4

• Ayat Ejaz Ahmed – Year 5

• Aleena Shaik – Year 6

• Mrs Ikram and Miss Dar – Staff Winners

The printed cards were then sold, with all proceeds going to charity – a wonderful way for our school community to come together and give back during the blessed month of Ramadan. Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our pupils and parents, we raised valuable funds for those in need.

We are so proud of all the children who took part in the competition and helped spread the joy of Eid. A special thank you to Postman Pat for delivering smiles, gifts, and creating memories that will last a lifetime!
