We will also be focusing on the mannerism of making wudhu and praying, e.g: cleanliness, keeping quiet when others are praying, etc. In the 2 nd term we will keep reinforcing wudhu but introduce prayers. The children will learn how many times a day we pray, at what times and how many rakahs there are in each prayer. We will then move onto the actions of prayers and how to pray By term 3 children should be confident in performing wudhu and also understand the 5 prayers. Throughout the year all children will be attending prayers during school time to practice and join the congregation. WUDHU AND PRAYERS
