Blossom Red and Green

Learning about Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr
This week in Blossom key stage two, we have been learning about the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. We learnt that Muslim people give up bad habits, do good deeds, pray five times a day, read the Qur’an and fast during daylight hours. We learnt that Eid al-Fitr is a special celebration at the end of Ramadan that means The Festival of Breaking of the Fast. We talked about the celebrations we have in our family homes and we designed our own Mehndi patterns - the drawings women and girls draw on their hands to celebrate Eid.
