Eid al – Fitr, also called the “Festival of Breaking the Fast” or Lesser Eid, or simply Eid, is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of the month  long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan. It’s an exciting time and we had a wonderful time in school.

We began on Tuesday by making moon and star biscuits and chocolate truffles in food Technology to have at our feast. On Thursday, we started the day by watching a simple PowerPoint where some children taught us all about Eid. We also enjoyed a fun song called “Eid Day” We then put out the prayer mats and each said a little prayer of thanks.

We explored a range of activities including, counting 1 to 10 objects relating to Ramadan, making beautiful lanterns, making paper chains, colouring by 2D shapes and exploring shapes using the Light Box.

In the afternoon we chose a costume and jewellery and enjoyed dancing to music before setting off on a parade around the school wishing everyone a Happy Eid.

Some of our children celebrated Eid at home so we continued with our celebrations the following day, finishing the day with a party for Sehrish who was 8 years old on Thursday.

What a fabulous time we had. We hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating with your family and friends.

Eid Mubarak.
