Learn Together - Islam

This term 3rd class B have been learning about various parts of the Islam religion and the Muslim traditions. We have explored the history of the religion; The five Pillars, the Qur'an, the prophet Muhammad, religious dress for women and men, Mecca - and the feasts and celebrations held; Ramadan, Eid, Bahrain. Leyla, Ousmane, Clarissa and Husam are all followers of the Islam religion and shared their knowledge and stories with the whole class. Leyla and Ousmane brought in two versions of the Qur'an and Clarissa and Ousmane brought in their religious dress that they use for when they are saying their prayers. They also demonstrated some of their prayers, and we all noted how beautiful and lyrical they sounded while praying. The whole class were extremely interested and we all learned something new. Thank you to the children for sharing their stories and for sharing their faith and traditions with us.
