A captivated and packed audience watched the biggest talent show in the world re – enacted as students of Bigland Primary school displayed their talents to a full house.

As part of an out of hours learning programme, Tower Hamlets based Bigland Green School pupils have been participating in Arabic language classes for 4 months.

As part of their after school language class, the young people organised and participated in a special assembly at the school.

During a Britains Got Talent style format students performed various songs in Arabic, including a wonderful rendition of ‘Old MacDonald’ in Arabic.

Teacher Ustadh Muhammad Imran said: “Today is the culmination of 4 months of hard work.

“At Bigland Green we have a very talented pool of young people who are very keen on learning new things.

“It is heart warming to see these young people committed enough to staying on after school to study an additional language after school.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching such a great bunch and found the parents 110% supportive.

“The school deserves so much praise for co-ordinating such an outstanding learning programme for the benefit of their pupils.”

Head teacher Dr Abdul Hayee Murshid beamed with pride; “Im very proud of everyone who has participated. It is tremendous to see such a packed hall full of jubilant attendees.

“I believe everybody found the experience very pleasant and enjoyable viewing.”

“I was very happy that everybody enjoyed our performance”, said Sulaiman Faruqui, who had earlier performed a superb solo performance of “knowledge is light.”

“I felt proud to see my Dad at smiling at me.”

“This is one of my favourite subjects – I want to say a big thank you to Teacher Imran and our headteacher,” added fellow pupil and participant Nazifa Ahmed

Also in attendance at the hugely successful event as chief guest was Tower Hamlets Chief Executive Dr Kevan Collins.
