School pupils explore Ramadan during mosque visit in Milford HavenPublished 2 days ago on March 18, 2026By Tom Sinclair

Community visit promotes understanding of faith and culture
PUPILS from Broad Haven Community Primary School were given a hands-on lesson in faith and culture during a visit to the Hamad Bin Khalifa Islamic Centre in Milford Haven.


In Wales, Religious Education forms a key part of the curriculum, with children learning about a range of faiths including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Sikhism. The aim is to help young people understand different beliefs, traditions and values, while encouraging respect and tolerance within diverse communities.


During the visit, pupils were shown how Muslims pray, with demonstrations inside the mosque helping to explain daily worship and the importance of the Qur’an. They were also given an insight into wudu, the ritual washing performed before prayer, as part of understanding the wider customs of Islamic life.

Staff at the centre welcomed the pupils and answered questions, giving them the opportunity to explore a different culture in a relaxed and engaging environment.


Teachers say these kind of experiences help bring classroom learning to life, allowing pupils to better understand the beliefs and traditions of others.

Someday it may help them understand why they're being stoned to death, thrown off buildings, or being beheaded. :osama:

How about the schools teach them to read, write and do math, m'kay? Leave the religious instruction to the parents.

Wales, Britain, Canada, U.S., all really screwed up when it comes to the education of children.

In New York and here in VA, it is touched on. When I was growing up (9th grade) we were told about the beliefs, but did not "practice it".

It is already happening, my point was that we need to know about islam and the Middle east, as we need to know about the about the Far east and Russia. Not participate, worship of agree with, but have at least a basic knowledge. sooner or later we will either be at war with them or trading with them.
