Blackfell Primary School

Year 1 & 2 had a fantastic morning visiting Newcastle Central Mosque. We met Brother Khadim who taught us all about the mosque and what happens in it, the Muslim special book known as the Qur'an, Muslim prayer, and the 5 pillars of Islam. He demonstrated the call to prayer, and we took part in following some of the actions carried out during the prayers that take place 5 times a day. Brother Khadim showed us a special toothbrush used by Muslims. The toothbrush is made from tree bark and has a strong, distinct scent - he even gave us some to bring back to school! It was a brilliant morning and we learnt so much being immersed in the environment.
