		<item>	<title><![CDATA[ Exciting News: EV Chargers Coming Soon to Our School! ]]></title>
	<link>https://www.iqraprimary.com/news/?pid=22&amp;nid=1&amp;storyid=17</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>We are delighted to announce that 2 new Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points will soon be installed at our school as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.</p>

<p>The introduction of EV chargers is another important step in supporting greener travel and reducing our carbon footprint. Staff, visitors and members of our wider school community who drive electric vehicles will soon be able to charge their cars conveniently while on site.</p>

<p>This exciting development links closely with our school&rsquo;s vision of preparing pupils for a more sustainable future. Through our climate action work and environmental initiatives, children are learning the importance of protecting the planet and making environmentally friendly choices. The installation of EV chargers provides a real-life example of how communities can work together to support cleaner energy and greener living.</p>

<p>The project will also help pupils learn more about renewable technologies, sustainable transport and the future of energy through assemblies, classroom discussions and eco-focused activities.</p>

<p>We are proud to continue developing our school environment in ways that benefit both our community and the planet, and we look forward to sharing updates as the installation progresses.</p>

<p>Together, we are driving towards a greener future!&nbsp;</p>

	<link>https://www.iqraprimary.com/news/?pid=22&amp;nid=1&amp;storyid=6</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>Iqra Primary School was full of excitement and wonder as a very special visitor arrived &ndash; none other than <em>Postman Pat</em>! 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&rsquo;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.</p>

<p>But that wasn&rsquo;t all &ndash; Postman Pat also brought along a special <em>Eid gift for every single child</em> 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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Nine winning designs were selected and professionally printed &ndash; a moment of pride for the winners and their families! The winning pupils were:</p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Hajirah Ali</strong> &ndash; EYFS</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Aliza Osman</strong> &ndash; Year 1</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Hoorain Ghafoor</strong> &ndash; Year 2</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Eisa Hussain</strong> &ndash; Year 3</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Mehak Hamid</strong> &ndash; Year 4</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Ayat Ejaz Ahmed</strong> &ndash; Year 5</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Aleena Shaik</strong> &ndash; Year 6</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Mrs Ikram</strong> and <strong>Miss Dar</strong> &ndash; Staff Winners</p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>The printed cards were then sold, with all proceeds going to charity &ndash; 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.</p>

<p>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!</p>

	<link>https://www.iqraprimary.com/news/?pid=22&amp;nid=1&amp;storyid=3</link>	<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center">&quot;It is truly awesome how Iqra school just doesn&#39;t settle and keeps striving and working&nbsp;harder to make PE even&nbsp;better for every child in their school. The drive and passion for inclusivity for all pupils is inspiring, especially being driven by a wonderful young lady in Year 6! This is exactly the type of ambition we want schools to have, especially on the agenda of equal access and through the eyes of young people and their voice, but also them knowing they are heard and can create change in their communities. The impact it sounds like they have had on both the PE curriculum and the extra-curricular is just superb and a real credit to all involved in driving this forward. The school is a pleasure to work with and pushes us all to keep pushing boundaries for young people, especially when they are truly leading the way!<br />
A massive well done Iqra Primary School!&quot;&nbsp;</p>
