  • Eid Celebrations

    Today we enjoyed learning more about Eid in the classroom and listening to some of our friends sharing their experiences from home. We looked at some pictures of mosques and after chatting about the features of the building tried to build our own in the block area. We used tissue paper to collage designs on crescent moon and stars and tried our first attempt at henna designs by drawing around our own hands.

    Today was Eid celebration day at Crookfur! Lots of us wore cultural or party clothes to celebrate!

We have very creative ideas and enjoyed presenting them to the class. We have been making pop up Eid cards this week to give to our friends and neighbours. We also watched a video of  the Cricketer Abtaha Maqsood reading a book called ‘Under the Hijab’ . We had great discussions about the book and hijabs.
