This past week, Year 5 were given the chance to visit Eccles Mosque. This visit was linked to our learning in R.E. about Muslims in Britain. Year 5 got to see their names in Arabic, learnt about The Five Pillars of Islam, heard a demonstration of the traditional call to prayer and had an opportunity to take part in Rak’ah which are the movements of prayer in Islam. Both classes behaved impeccably and showed great respect and showed a great desire to explore the concepts of Islam. The staff at the Mosque were amazed at the children’s understanding.
