Year 5- Redwood Class- East London Mosque and London Muslim Centre Trip

31st October 2019

Dear Parents and Carers,

The trip to East London Mosque for Redwood Class has been postponed due to a clash in timetables. The trip will be furthering the children’s study of Islam within our Religious Education Curriculum. 

The Year 5 Redwood class children will be visiting the East London Mosque and London Muslim Centre on Monday 11th November 2019. All children should be in school by 8:30am as we will be leaving at 8:40am. We expect to arrive back at school for 3:00pm. The children will be travelling via public transport and will be accompanied by teachers and support staff from the school. Should there be any delays to our journey that would result in us being back at school later, we will of course inform you via our school Facebook page and Year 5/6 blog.

Should your child require a lunch provided by the school, could you please return the enclosed form no later than Friday 1st November 2019 so that we can process your order in time for your child’s trip. Alternatively, children can bring their own packed lunch in a carrier bag that is clearly labelled with their name and class. Please can you ensure that there are no fizzy drinks or sweets. 

This is an exciting opportunity for the children to experience a different culture and the trip will enhance their learning both in school and beyond. We thank you for your continuing support.

We apologise for any confusion.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Higgins Miss Mullan

East London Muslim Centre trip

Willow had a fantastic day visiting the East London Muslim Centre. The day started with a tour of prayer hall where our tour guide identified the key features of the Mosque including the where the Imam stands and the Qur'an.

Following this, we looked around the washrooms where Muslim people come to carry out ritual washing before prayer. The tour guide explained the importance of charity in Islam, highlighting that all Muslims are encouraged to give 2.5% of their savings to charitable causes.

After this, we looked at the bee hives that the Mosque keeps in order to produce honey and raise money for the centre's many outreach programmes. The East London Muslim Centre holds three schools, very large prayer halls, a business wing and a counselling service.

The trip ended with watching an informational video about the Five Pillars which underpin Islam.

Thank you to the adult helpers that attended the trip!

Naz in Willow said, "I found the trip really interesting, I enjoyed learning more about the different items of clothing that Muslim people wear."

Billy in Willow said, "I learnt about the honey bees and how they keep them to raise money."
