Whole School - Visit from Imran Kotwal for Islam week

Lesson: Religious education

Class: EYFS (F2) Reception Year: 2024 - 2025

On Friday 2oth September, Imran Kotwal visited school to help us with our learning about the religion of Islam.

As a Muslim, Imran shared some important items with us and talked about how they are used in daily life, particularly with prayer. 

We saw prayer mats and photographs of different mosques, as well as sweet smelling oil which can be used as part of the cleaning ritual before prayer.

Imran also told us about the prophet Muhammad, a key person for Muslims.

This is what some of the children felt about the visit in Year 1 and 2.

"It was really good to know about it all."

"I liked finding out new stuff."

"The best bit was watching how Imran prayed."

"I know that praying is very important to lots of people."

"Religions are sometimes not all the same."

"Everyone is special themselves."
