Year 5 RE – Pilgrimages of different faiths

In today’s lesson the children looked at different pilgrimages that occur throughout differing faiths. The children were able to compare the places and activities that occur and were able to explain how they were similar and different. Fatima was able to explain to the rest of the class about her pilgrimage to Mecca for the Islamic celebration Hajj. The children really enjoyed looking at similarities between Hajj and the Jewish pilgrimage to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
