    By hamza
    Fasting is when you give up all food for approximately 18 hours to see how it is to have no food
    Most Muslims will fast unless they have difficulties or they are sick fasting is a must if u are fit and healthy
    Muslims start the fast in the early hours the feast before the fajr salah is called suhoor as soon as it is fajr you cannot eat anything till the magrib salah which is at 8:00
    Muslims fast for 2 different reasons one because are prophet Muhammad ( salah la hu alayhi wa Salem) and the second I mentioned earlier because they are trying to feel how it is like to have no food
    I think Muslims feel proud of themselves for fasting because they put a lot of effort into fasting and I think they feel hungry sometimes because most people around them are eating

      Thanks for sharing, Hamza! Do you think it's easier to fast when you're at home or at school?

      I've really been enjoying reading your comments about Ramadan. I'd love to see some comments from you about other areas of your learning too - please do share the writing, maths and topic work you've been learning about!

    1. Fasting is when you dont eat food for a certaint amount of time and you break it when it is iftar.
    2. Many Muslims will fast over the age of 11 or even if ur 11 so when your over 11 you have to fast unless ur sick or something.
    3.They fast on the month of Ramadan and the month is called Ramadan. We wake up for suhoor then we eat before fajr prayer after fajr prayer you can not eat and you will continue all the way untill magrib prayer around 8:30.
    4.We fast because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH or salah la hu alayhi wa salem) And we know that some ppl dont have any food so we see how its like. We should be proud of ourselves for being a great Muslims and be happy with who we are.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, Amira. How is fasting going? Is it easier when the weather's cooler or when it's warmer? What's your favourite thing about Ramadan? What's something that Ramadan has helped you with?

      I'd love to see some of the other things you've been learning about too - please post some of the writing, maths or topic work that you've been learning about!

For those of you who have been following along with Miss Davies' Family Performance Poetry Challenge, Ms Tupman's aunt and uncle have decided to join you! Here's their version of 'The Boneyard Rap':  https://youtu.be/RYMP-pN_8Tc . Finally, Miss Davies has made some reading lessons for you. Your parents should have received a text message with the link, but in case they didn't, you can access the lesson here:  https://youtu.be/GqMqvtIb0G4 . It will take you about 20 minutes to do, and there will be a new lesson next Wednesday. Have a lovely weekend, Ms Tupman and M
