Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr, also known as just Eid, is a Muslim holiday which marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting. Celebrations continue for one, two or three days, and people wish each other Eid Mubarak (Blessed Eid) or Eid Said (Happy Eid). Celebrations vary by country but include gatherings to view the new moon, decorating homes inside and out, family visits, eating special sweet foods, neighbourhood fairs, visits to amusement parks, wearing new clothes and giving and receiving gifts. Eid al-Fitr will be celebrated on 2nd and 3rd May 2022.
We had a great day today celebrating EID along with our Muslim community. The children came dressed in their special EID clothes and proudly displayed them at assembly in the hall. Some of the children brought in bags of treats for all their classmates and Ranim's mother sent in homemade cookies for all the staff to enjoy! They went down a treat!
In the afternoon we had our traditional EID Parade which also coincided with the launch of our new Active School's Walkway.
Happy Eid Mubarak!
