At the Mosque

In year 5 in R.E. we have been learning about Islam. We went on a trip to the Ilford Mosque and we had to take off our shoes as we didn't want to get the carpet dirty. The girls and women had to wear a headscarf to be respectful.


The Imam told us many things about the Muslim religion including fasting (Ramadan) where you eat at dawn and dont eat until the sun goes down. He told us about the messenger Muhammed who believed in Allah (what the Muslims call God).


He also read a chapter of the Qu'ran which was very interesting. After that we got to go upstairs where the women pray and then we were very lucky because we got cokes and crisps at the end.

The whizz whizz bang bang science show.

On the 2nd of Feburary Doctor Mike Watkinson came into class 5AD. He is a scientist who works at Queen Marys University of Biology. He came into our class to show us science on solids, liquids and gases, which our year was learning about. Mike showed us tricks with liquid nitrogen. The whole room fell silent as he stuck his hand into the liqiud nitrogen. He froze flowers and bananas by putting them into the liquid nitrogen, and then smashed them with a hammer. After that his assistant Debs brought him an egg with a frying pan. He made the egg stick to the pan. At the very end he made ice cream using custard and liquid nitrogen. We had a great tim and hope they come again.
