The children will be attending Wellington Islamic Mosque. This trip has been set up through our link with Hollinswood Multicultural Service and has been planned to follow up on the Year 5 Beliefs and Values topic of Islam. Children will be attending during the afternoon and therefore, will have lunch as normal at NJS.
During the visit the children will have an opportunity to explore the Mosque, making comparisons between the building and a Christian church, ask questions to the Imam and also be able to make links between the classroom based learning they have done and what this looks like in reality.
For the upcoming visit to the mosque, the children will be required to come to school prepared with the following:
- School uniform is appropriate for visiting the mosque however as much skin as possible needs to be covered. For example: tights to be worn, leggings, jumpers/cardigans (down to wrists).
- The girls are required to wear a headscarf to cover their hair. Boys are required to bring a hat or cap to cover their hair also.
