• Ramadan and Eid 2025 Assembly

  Fri 21 Mar 2025 C. Suckley

  Criftins Pupils discovered  lots about Ramadan this week and this tied in really well with all of the work that classes did in RE last half term. This was also an opportunity to develop Ramadan focused activities that we have been doing during the month of Ramadan. It is so important to have an understanding of all faiths and their celebrations. Islam is the second largest religion in the UK.
