This week, the Islamic holy month of Ramadan begins
Ramadan celebrates the date in 610 C.E. when, according to Islamic tradition, the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
During the month, Muslims are called to renew their spiritual commitment through daily fasting, prayer, and acts of charity.
Many of our students at INTO Manchester will be fasting, so won’t eat or drink between dawn and sunset.
We wish you all “Ramadan Kareem”

So, in the very cool Learning Centre (remember, we have air conditioning!), we have an area for you to sit and relax in. Have a go at a jigsaw, use the Harry Potter colouring books, cuddle our giant pet sheep (!), play a relaxing game of cards, make a plasticine model……have a rest…… then return to study refreshed, relaxed and with a mind fit to absorb information.
The following film may also help you with some tips for revision and avoidng exam stress

We’re holding a BOOK SALE in the Learning Centre, starting on Monday, 23rd April, to mark Shakespeare’s birthday. Shakespeare himself will be presiding over the occasion so you can take selfies with him.
For anyone that doesn’t know, William Shakespeare is considered one of the greatest writers to ever use the English language.
Books will be sold at a minimum of £1.00 each – and all funds will go straight to INTO Giving, a charity that supports children’s education and teachers across the globe.
So Thank You in advance for your generous contributions!

You may notice some changes after the holidays- one of our E-books (electronic/online) book collections has changed to Ebook Central from Myilibrary.
Don’t worry, we’ve spent all Easter writing some new instructions on how to use it…..any problems ask Learning Centre staff.
Also, your Moodle may look a bit different: don’t panic, all the information should still be there!
