MOSQUE VISIT (JUMA MASJID)

““Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”  

We have learned so much! We have explored the features of a Mosque and can name some of these features.

The purpose DPS-JC and DPS Kids is to create a happy and secure environment in this present multicultural and multilingualistic world. We would like to have our DPS children to develop and flourish in harmony with different religions. Our nursery is a child led setting; we enhance the child's learning through play and the Early Years Foundation Stage principles. We encourage children to have a choice, with activities matched to their next steps of learning, using both outdoor and indoor opportunities.

DPS-JC Believes from the root that every child deserves the best possible commencement in life to support and fulfill their potential and excellence. We aim to provide a warm, loving and a stimulating environment which promote all areas of your child's development. We aim to provide a concrete foundation for all our children attending the Pre nursery to class 1.

This term children have been learning about Islam in religious education. Children of DPS-JC and DPS Kids (Pre nursery to class 1) went to visit a local Mosque (Juma Masjid) at Sadar Bazar Road Champa.  Children took off their shoes before entering the Mosque and sat on the carpet in the Prayer room.  They heard about the five main parts of the Muslim faith and learnt about festivals and celebrations.  They listened to Imam read from the Qur'an and had the chance to ask their own questions.

Children also came to know why Muslims pray to Allah and how they prepare themselves for prayers. The children had the opportunity to learn some more about Islam. They experienced the Imam taking part in Wudu (washing hands and feet before prayer), calling Muslims to prayer and they observed local people in the community praying. Children had a brilliant time and were made all the better by travelling to the Mosque in their school omnibus!
