Our KS1 children recently went on a fantastic trip to the Green Street Mosque in Newham. The visit was a wonderful opportunity for the children to step inside a Muslim place of worship, learn about its importance, and see how the local community comes together to practice their faith.

Both the children and staff were absolutely captivated by the building’s stunning architecture, which is filled with beautiful geometric patterns and intricate calligraphy artwork.

During the tour, the children explored the main areas of the mosque and got a close-up look at some special Islamic artefacts.

Fumni was buzzing with excitement:
"We enjoyed looking at the artefacts such as the Quran and prayer beads. We also listened to a short talk about the key areas in the mosque—it was amazing!"

Thomas was equally impressed by the atmosphere:
"The mosque was beautifully designed, and there were lots of people learning in the mosque."

At Ranelagh, we truly believe that visiting different places of worship is vital. These experiences do so much more than just teach facts; they build real understanding, tolerance, and respect. By exploring different faiths firsthand, we are helping our children grow into thoughtful, open-minded citizens who are ready to thrive in our wonderfully multicultural world.
