In RE this week, we revisited Islam and put together a mind map of all the things we could remember. Here is what some of the children said:
"The Hajj is where Muslims take their pilgrimage to Mecca."- Jude
"People who follow Islam are called Muslims."- Genesis
"Their holy book is called the Qur'an."- Jessie
"Muslims pray 5 times a day."- Connor
"Before they go into the mosque, they take off their shoes and wash their feet and hands."- Neriya
"Nobody is better than Allah."-Suzzy
"They fast...no food or drink."- Victoria.
"The Qur'an can't touch the floor...the floor is dirty." - Erica.
