Comprehension activities:
Ramadan:
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when Muslims fast between sunrise and sunset every day.
Fasting during Ramadan is the fourth pillar of Islam. There are five pillars, which help guide Muslims to put
their faith into action.
Ramadan is called the month of the Qu’ran.
The Five Pillars of Islam
The Five Pillars of Islam are five obligations which Muslims must carry out in order to live a good life according
to Islam.
Fasting during Ramadan:
Fasting means not eating food or drink during daylight hours. It is common to have one meal just before the sun
rises and another meal directly after the sun has set. Fasting is important to Muslims as a sign of self-
discipline and generosity. It is also a time to think of those who do not have enough to eat and often go hungry.
Muslims believe:
• that their good actions bring greater reward during this month than at any other time of the year;
• that it is easier to do good during Ramadan;
• that they should try to give up bad habits during Ramadan;
• that they will become better Muslims by praying more and reading the Qu’ran.
A social occasion
Ramadan is a time to get together with family and friends. The fast is broken each evening by sharing a meal.
The end of Ramadan is an important religious holiday. The celebration is called Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr means
‘festival of the breaking of the fast’.
Did you know?
Those who are ill, elderly or pregnant are not expected to fast during Ramadan.

There’s a Fire in the Forest
There’s a fire in the forest!
The creatures are fleeing
The flames close behind
With the wind driving onward.
From underbrush up to
The high moving tree-tops
The fire’s surging forward.
There’s a fire in the forest;
The whole woods are burning.
The whole world is burning!
The creatures are seeking
The safety of streams
Beyond the hot burning.
The creatures are fleeing;
They are labouring, straining
To reach the cool river
They know just beyond them,
To escape the fierce burning,
To reach the cool stream
For which they are yearning.

Cross curricular activities:
Lowry
Lowry was an English artist and he painted scenes that showed working people and working life in
Britain. His people often looked like matchstick men and he used lots of greys and browns to
represent the hard lives of the poor people. The landscapes he painted were often focused on
factories and industrial places where workers came and went about their business.
Can you sketch a piece of artwork to reflect that of Lowry’s work?
Remember to:
• Press on lightly, so if you make a mistake it
is easier to rub out.
• Think carefully about what emotion you want
the picture to represent and show.
• Think carefully about the perspective of the
building and people, if the buildings are
further away, they will look smaller than the
ones up close.
• Take your time! Art is not a race.

facing that challenge.
