Maple Tree Class: Learning about Islam

Date: 27th Mar 2025 @ 3:58pm

This week, we have been learning all about Islam. We've been busy exploring a range of different artifacts, pictures and experiences linked to the Islamic religion. We've been reading the story Rameenas Ramadan which is about how a little girl who helps her community in different ways during Eid.

This week, we have learnt some Islamic rules and routines such as:

• Wudo, this is when you have to wash your hands, mouth, nostrils, arms, face and feet before praying. (I've never seen so many children so eager to wash thier face! They even got behind their ears!)
• Fasting: this is when you don't eat or drink anything during the day after the sun rises and before the sun sets. This happens in Ramadan, which lasts for 30 days
• Hijab: this is a headscarf that woman wear to cover their hair and sometimes their face
• Kufi: this is what the males wear on thier head when they pray

How amazing is all that!
