The Ursuline Academy Ilford

Eid-ul-Azha is being celebrated today. We wish all our Muslim families Eid Mubarak, and hope you enjoy celebrating this special day!

Lots of lovely new colours have appeared in the chapel garden over the half term. We now have lots of daisies in the mix and some beautiful yellow snapdragons! Thank you to Bella and Sofiia, our two Laudato Si members, who helped to put together our lovely new bird feeder today during lunch. This will attract lots of lovely birds who will help to pollinate our flowers and crops and also keep any pests away!

Our Ukulele Club has grown! The students have been absolutely excellent and have been attending every week. They are now comfortable with playing the 4 most basic chords which means they are very confident in attempting any new songs that we decide to play every week. It has become quite like a jamming session which is very fun! When we come across more complex chords in some of our new material, the students are not so daunted anymore and are always happy to give it a shot. We are so impressed by how much they have progressed this year and we are all looking forward to them performing in the summer concert later in this half term! Well done to all!
