This half term our enquiry question for RE is: ‘Does praying at regular intervals help a Muslim in his/ her everyday life?
We have had many discussions about what a ‘commitment’ is and what it means and thought about our own commitments both at home and in school.

In order to understand the commitment that Muslims make to Islam and their prayer rituals, Year 2 made a commitment to carry out an set of exercises and stretches 5 times a day (the number of times a Muslim adult must pray). We realised that to carry out a task 5 times a day takes a lot of effort and made us think about some of the benefits as well as challenges of making a commitment.  

Year 2 have also enjoyed examining a range of religious artefacts to learn more about Islam.
