Today we have been looking at the Eid holiday.

Eid al-Fitr is the earlier of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam. The religious holiday is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.

The day starts with prayers and a big meal is usually the main event, but there’s lots of other ways people celebrate too.

During Eid, one of the most common things you’ll hear people say to one another is “Eid Mubarak!” This literally means “blessed Eid” and is a way of expressing celebration. 

7A watched a video explaining all about Eid and we had a question and answer session about the things we had seen in the video. 

We made some cards to take home and also coloured some prayer mats and Eid crowns. They were very colourful.

We made some Eid biscuit’s too. We all took turns to measure ingredients out. We used butter, flour, sugar and eggs. Next the ingredients were all mixed together then each learner chose which shape they wanted and cut out their biscuits. Then came the decoration! We used icing of different colours and tastes. The best bit came last…. time to sample them! I think we can all agree this was the favourite part.

 

7A wishes you all a Happy Eid Mubarak.
