EYFS Trip to the Central Mosque and Regent's Park

Our Early Years Foundation Stage children enjoyed a memorable and enriching trip to the Central Mosque and Regent’s Park.

At the mosque, Syeeda shared interesting facts about the mosque’s history, including when it was built. The children were captivated by the beautiful geometric patterns and Arabic verses from the Qur’an that decorated the mosque’s interior.
​
During our visit, Sharmin told the story of Eid ul-Adha, focusing on the brave boy Ismail and his father Ibrahim’s strong belief and trust in Allah. The children learned why Muslims celebrate Eid ul-Adha and how it is connected to the pilgrimage of Hajj—one of the Five Pillars of Islam. This story helped bring the religious significance of the festival to life in a meaningful and age-appropriate way.

Following our visit, we headed to nearby Regent’s Park, where the children and their families enjoyed a lovely picnic together. After lunch, the children had a fantastic time playing in the park’s playground, making the most of the sunshine and open space.

It was a day filled with learning, storytelling, and shared joy—an experience we’ll all remember fondly.
