Some of our students celebrated the Islamic festival of Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast over the school holidays. They came to school in some of their amazing outfits, that they wore for the Eid celebrations at home. Children spoke about how they had celebrated Eid with their families and how their families had fasted during the period of Ramadan.
Muslims around the globe observe the holy month of Ramadan every year, a period of deep spiritual reflection and fasting. The festival begins with the sighting of the crescent moon, which usually appears one night after a new moon.
In 2024, Ramadan began on Sunday 10 March. The month of Ramadan sees Muslims all over the world fasting and praying, before breaking their fast at sundown alongside family and friends.
