Shahada plates

Year 3 have been learning about how different faiths view and celebrate their God. As part of this, we have been looking at the Muslim faith. Today we discussed Shahada and looked at how it is displayed on things such as wall hangings, plates and pendants in Arabic calligraphy. We reflected on words that are important in the Muslim faith and words that are important in the Christian Faith. We then designed and created our own decorative plates using important words to us, Arabic calligraphy designs and the traditional idea of decorating with leaves.
