Islam
We have been learning about Islam in RE. We have been looking at how Muslims pray and why.
We had a fantastic opportunity to look at some real Islam resources. We looked at an actual Quran, it had lots of strange writing in it. Mrs Dixon said this was written in Arabic. We also got to try on traditional Muslim dress and look at a real prayer mat. There was lots of things to read and touch.
Another fun activity we did was about understanding Muslim prayer and why they do it five times a day. Realising that Muslims have to stop their day to day activities to follow the religion they choose. Mrs Dixon had a chime bar, every time she sounded the chime bar we had to put down our pencils, stop our RE job and do an exercise song. We were exhausted by the end of the lesson.
