Celebrating Eid

In RE this afternoon we talked about why so many children were not in school yesterday.  We learned that they had been celebrating a special festival called Eid.  We enjoyed hearing about how each child celebrated.

Subhaan celebrated by playing games with his family.
Fatima went to the shops and bought some presents.
Ammar had a bouncy castle and some presents.
Anayah had a lovely day with her family.
Ayesha had some special treats and presents.
Ismah put on her special Eid clothes and spent the day at her Grandma's house.
Eshal ate lots of chocolate and went to the shops with her family.
Medinah spent time with her family.
Umar played football with his brother and wore his new clothes.
Zayan went to see his cousins.
Hakim had a massive pizza for dinner with his family (after he'd come to school!)
Zara went to see her family.

After that, Fatima showed us the beautiful Mehndi patterns on her hands.  She explained to us how her Auntie had created them for her.


After being inspired by Fatima's Mehndi, we made our own Eid cards for our family.






First we drew around our hand in pencil and decorated it with our Mehndi design.



Next we chose one coloured felt pen and went over our patterns.



After that we had to be very careful as we cut around the outline of our hand.





Finally we stuck our cards together and wrote a special message inside them,  We are very proud of our lovely cards and hope our families enjoy receiving them.
