Ramadan Kareem

This week we have been learning about Ramadan.
Muslims all over the world observe this Holy Month in preparation for Eid.
Children have been exploring a range of artefacts and talking about ways their family come together.
Children across the nursery have been sustaining interest in making saltdough decorations and special biscuits.

They have been supported using scoops and measuring equipment to follow a recipe to make salt dough decorations for our homes . We also made shortbread biscuits as a treat to celebrate the beginning of the Islamic month of Ramadan.

All children were encouraged to reflect on the traditions and customs that are similar across many festivals and spent time sharing these with each other and our teachers, recalling and remembering significant events.
Children shared talk and listened to each other.

How special is it that today was the last day when we would be able to see 7 planets in the night sky lined up! I saw Venus, Jupiter and Mars with the naked eye. Did you see any? We will all be watching the moon for the next 28 days. 

Ramadan Kareem if you are observing this Holy Month.
All children are invited to our Eid party on 1 April - children can wear their own clothes!
