ARCHIVED Year 6 Blog 2024/25

 Year 6, have started a new topic all about What’s in the news. They looked at excerpts of French newspapers and identified the different news sections.they practised pronouncing the new vocabulary and played a variety of games to remember and identify the different sections. 

  Today we looked at the Hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, which every adult Muslim must make at least once in his or her lifetime. The hajj is the fifth of the fundamental Muslim practices and institutions known as the Five Pillars of Islam. At Mecca, the pilgrims are obliged to perform several rituals, including walking seven times around the Kaʿbah shrine. About two million persons perform the hajj each year. We used a net to make our very own Ka'bah's out of paper.
