The Year Y5/6 children visited York Mosque where we were greeted by the friendly Imam, Abid Salik. Abid talked to us about why Muslims go to the mosque, the features of the mosque, the importance of prayer, and the significance of the 5 pillars of Islam. He also answered our many, many questions!
We also got to have a peek inside the new mosque. It’s enormous! We wondered what the old mosque will be used for when the new one is finished. Abid said they hadn’t decided yet but it might be used as community room.
A cake stall was held after the year 3/4 and 5/6 bake offs raising an amazing £180 for school.
Next week North Yorkshire Police will coming to school to lead sessions in Years 5 and 6 about E-safety and how we can keep ourselves safe when using the internet. At this afternoon’s session for KS2 parents and carers about online risks and dangers, also lead by North Yorkshire Police, we will be looking at the presentation that will be shown to children next week and will also give you some hints and tips on things that you can look out for at home, and where to go to for further advice and guidance.
