Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- What special things do you treat with respect in your home or in your school? Ask the children to think about items of great value, financial or sentimental; things that are fragile; things that are special to other people.
- Show the children a Qur'an stand. Discuss how it might be used and by whom. Place a copy of the Qur'an on the stand and explain why it is so special. Discuss rituals associated with using the Qur'an. How do we treat things we respect? Where do we keep them? How would we feel if they were soiled or damaged? Ask the children to wash and dry their hands, and then discuss how they felt before and after they did so.
- Ask the children to design a leaflet explaining the purpose of Wudu.
|
|
- recognise that the name for God in Islam is Allah
- identify the Qur'an as the Muslim holy book
- explain the purpose of Wudu
|
|
Points to note |
- Wash your hands before unwrapping the Qur'an to show the children the respect with which Muslims treat the holy book.
- The Qur'an will be taught in greater depth in year 6. The focus here is its place in the lives of Muslims, being the source of guidance and teaching.
