Dear Parents/Guardian
Assunnah school has launched the Broadening Horizons initiative to help develop the character of our children. As part of this initiative, we have arranged a compulsory whole school trip for all children to experience orienteering, an outdoor experience allowing for children to navigate and discover their way around Waltham Abbey Gardens. Orienteering enables children to tap into their broader skills and abilities that cannot normally be utilised in the classroom. It is important for each child to take part in the trip so that they can benefit from the opportunity to develop their wider skills. The trip is arranged for 4th Novemebr 2025. On the day, please bring your child Waltham Abbey Centre by 9am, the address of the centre is Waltham Abbey Gardens, Essex, EN9 1XQ
Please provide a suitable healthy packed lunch and enough water to drink throughout the day. Kindly note no fizzy drinks, bottles or any unhealthy food! It is also advisable to bring a warm waterproof jacket in case of unexpected weather changes.

Assalamu Aleykum Parents and Carers,Pupils recently enjoyed an exciting orienteering trip, where they applied their geographical knowledge to real-life navigation challenges. Using maps and compasses, they explored the environment while identifying key landmarks and directions. Working in their house teams, pupils demonstrated excellent teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. The activity not only strengthened their understanding of geography but also promoted collaboration and outdoor learning. Team Abubakar won !
