A 'Zoom' with our Faith Friend.
We had a 'Zoom' call with our Islamic 'Faith Friend', Rehana. She talked to the children about how she prepares herself before prayers. The children enjoyed joining in the process. The children had prepared questions for Rehana, about how she lives her life, her prayers, what it is like inside a mosque and of course they wanted to know about her favourite food!
