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.
