This week our school were celebrating Eid and different cultures. Most of our lessons and tasks were relating to Eid and we had a fun week.

On Thursday we baked shortbread and decorated them with icing and Eid patterns.  They tasted delicious and were not too difficult to make. JK

We learned about Islamic art and created our own islamic tiles. We had to think about tessellations and symmetry. CM

On Thursday, Maira very kindly brought in some dates for our class to try as this is what muslim people eat to break their fast. They tasted very sweet and chewey.

This week we were reading the book ‘The Most Exciting Eid’. We were unsure of some of the vocabulary that was used in the book to decided to make an Eid glossary and researched the definitions and translations. FR

During writing we also created an imaginative piece which related to a theme from the book. RA

In maths we created Venn Diagrams and compared how Eid is celebrated in Scotland and compared it with Eid celebrations in another country. EM

Through out the week we listened to some Ramadan related songs so we could develop our knowledge. Our favourite songs are Ramadan Moon and As-salamu alaykum.
