Learning about Islam

Year 2 welcomed Mr Numan Khalid into our class this week to learn more about Islam.  We learnt a lot about why Muslims go to the mosque and how they pray.  Year 2 also learnt about the role of an Imam and how important the Imam is in the local community. 

Mr Khalid also explained why the Qu'ran is important and also sang a song in Arabic using his drum. It was a lovely visit to our class and the children were all engaged and asked our visitor excellent questions which he answered.  Mr Khalid has  invited Year 2 to the mosque in St. Albans - a wonderful learning experience that they could go to in Year 3.

After the lesson, we made some thank you letters to Khalid.
