This week, we have been learning about Ramadan. In Year 6, we have thought about how Muslims deepen their understanding of why Ramadan matters – beyond the actions of fasting. They learn about empathy, gratitude, self-discipline and connection with God. We created trees with each branch demonstrating what each of these 4 areas means.
We also thought about whether Ramadan looks the same for every Muslim. We considered the perspectives of Muslims from around the world and in different circumstances. We thought about what challenges they might face and what Ramadan might look like for them.
In English, we have begun reading and writing Just So Stories. We have enjoyed reading about how the camel got his hump, how the whale got its tiny throat and how the rhino got its wrinkly skin.
