This week in Year 1, we have been learning all about Ramadan. The children were introduced to this special time during our KS1 assembly, where they found out what Ramadan is, why it is important to Muslims, and how it is celebrated around the world.
We learned that Ramadan is not only about fasting, but also about spending time with family, coming together as a community, and showing kindness and generosity to others. During Ramadan, Muslims are especially mindful of their actions and try to help those in need.
In class, the children enjoyed listening to a range of stories about Ramadan and some even shared their own experiences. To finish our learning, we made beautiful ‘Fanous’ lanterns, which symbolise joy and light. We are so proud of the thoughtful discussions and creativity shown by all of Year 1!
