On Friday, 221st July 2023, our school had the privilege of hosting a captivating workshop with Mr Kotwal who offered us an invaluable insight into what it truly means to be a Muslim in Britain today. This experience not only deepened our understanding of the rich culture and profound religious beliefs associated with Islam, but also enriched our knowledge with a wealth of fascinating facts.
During the workshop, we had the opportunity to sample some delectable Muslim treats. Additionally, we had the privilege of trying on traditional Muslim attire, amplifying our appreciation for the diversity of clothing styles across different cultures. It was heartening to witness Mr Kotwal commend us on our existing knowledge of Islam as we answered most questions in his challenging quiz with confidence. A highlight of Mr Kotwal's visit was when he provided us with a comprehensive virtual tour of the interior of a mosque, highlighting the significance of various architectural elements and explaining the meticulous preparations Muslims make before engaging in prayer. This glimpse into the sacred space further deepened our understanding and appreciation for Muslim practices.
It is safe to say that our time with our special visitors was a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening experience. We eagerly anticipate his return to our school soon. We are sorry but the photos taken on the day were not able to be reproduced due to disc failure!
