Q5 – Islam

We have continued to learn about the lives of significant people of faith. This week we learnt about Prophet Muhammad from the Islamic faith. We learnt that he encourages Muslims to carry out acts of kindness to support others. We then thought about and designed our own acts of kindness.

Abraham’s Story

We used freeze frames to tell the story and answer key questions. What kind of person was Abraham? Why is he important to Jewish people today? Abraham is important because he trusted God and began a special relationship (covenant) that Jewish people still believe in today.

Priests and Vicars 

We know that Priests are important people for Christians. We thought of some questions to find out more about their role.

Muslim festivals

Year 3 Obama have been learning about two Muslim festivals. They have explored the similarities and differences between Eid-al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adha.
 

Buddhism – Wesak

We have learnt about the Buddhist festival of Wesak. We know this festival celebrates the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha. We talked about the different ways Buddhists celebrate this festival and then made our own lanterns just like Buddhists do.

Eid al-Fitr

Mrs Kamran helped us with our learning in RE today. She told us all about Eid al-Fitr and Ramadan. During Eid some Muslims enjoy a dessert called Sheer Khurma. Mrs Kamran made some for us to try – thank you!
