Good morning everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Miss Bull blogged such wonderful questions about Eid last Thursday with her class that I wanted to share with you some of the blog today. With Eid celebrations so close and it being such a strange time I thought we would start our week off thinking about the celebration.

Celebrations: Ramadan and Eid!! 

I know so many of you are so looking forward to Eid so I wonder if today you could teach me a few things about your special celebration, Miss Bull has recorded a video asking you some questions below:

If you do not celebrate Ramadan or Eid this would be a great time to learn all about the celebration, it is so important to learn about other people’s faiths and religions – remember, we are all different and being different is GREAT!:

 

• What does ‘fasting’ mean? Why do Muslims fast during Ramadan?
• What do these words mean; Suhoor/Sehri, Iftar, Zakat?
• Ramadan is the ninth month in the islamic  Lunar calendar, but what is a lunar calendar based on?

Watch these videos about the Lunar cycle:

• Ramadan starts when religious leaders tell everyone that they have seen a certain type of moon – Which moon is that?
• What special things do you do with your family during the 3 day Eid celebrations?

Ask the adults in your family the questions to help you find out the answers and then ask them to help you type your answers into the comments box on the video.

Here is an interesting video all about a little boy who shares his ideas of how to celebrate Ramdan with your family during the Corona Virus Lock Down.

This week I would love to try to make some of your favourite recipes during Eid.

What do you like to eat during Eid?

I look forward to hearing from you!
