What's included in the Eid Whole School Assembly PowerPoint resource and why is it useful?

Eid Whole School Assembly PowerPoint is a slideshow that explores the two Eid festivals that Muslims celebrate every year. The content includes 10 slides, covering what Eid is, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Eid traditions, the core values of each festival, Eid in the UK, saying Eid Mubarak and a reflection. It links to RE learning about Islam.

Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha

How Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and Eid al-Adha remembers the story of the prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), with questions such as "What do you think it would be like to fast for the day?"

Traditions and Values

Special prayers, new clothes, shared meals and giving to those in need, alongside the values of gratitude, generosity, unity, charity, compassion and community, asking "Which of these values is most important to you?"

Eid in the UK

Eid celebrations in towns and cities around the UK, including a festival in Trafalgar Square, and what it means when people say "Eid Mubarak".

How do our whole school assemblies work?

Our whole school assemblies are PowerPoint slideshows that follow a similar structure: an introduction, questions to get children thinking, the key points of the topic and reflection time. They're paced to suit a primary school assembly and work best on a whiteboard, projected out to the hall. You can use them:

• as a whole school assembly, from EYFS up to KS2
• as a class assembly
• as a teaching PowerPoint when you want to cover an event or topic in your own classroom

The majority of our assemblies include teacher notes and guidance to support delivery, and because they're pacey, you can adapt them to however long your assembly lasts.

Adapting the Assembly for Your School

Every assembly is editable, so you can add, remove or change slides to suit the needs of your school. We cover religious events, seasonal topics, values such as kindness, friendship and tolerance, science, history, PSHE, music, significant people and sporting events, so you can choose the assemblies that fit your school year.

Supporting Learning at Home

Families can carry the conversation on at home by asking children about their assembly: what they heard, how it made them feel and what they think about it.
