Last week Robins and Swallows class visited the Hanfia Mosque, Carlisle Road, Bradford. The children were extremely excited and spent time learning about the features on the outside of the Mosque before going inside to explore. We saw where Muslims wash before prayer and sang, 'This is the way we wash our hands before we go to Wudhu'. The children also learnt that Muslims pray five times a day and that the names of the prayer are Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. We also found out that Muslims are called to prayer and Arthur got a chance to demonstrate this!
As a voluntary controlled school our RE curriculum is at least 2/3rds Christianity. The Statement of Entitlement also says that pupils should show an informed and respectful attitude to religions and world views in their search for God and meaning, and that they should engage in meaningful and informed dialogue with those of other faiths and none.
