From teacher-led learning aids which will ensure your class stay focused during adult-led sessions, to appealing continuous provision enhancements; you are certain to find the perfect activities for your class. Ramadan is a very important part of the Islamic calendar. It happens in the 9th month of the Islamic Calendar. Every year the date is different. Leave to cool, then cover with plastic wrap to prevent pancakes from drying out – this is the key to perfect qatayef. When it’s time to fill the pancakes, the edges need to be pinched together. If the pancake is dry, the edges won’t seal. People who are Muslim use the time to look at what makes them happy and think about doing nice things that involve friends and family. People might even do work in their communities to help others who might not be as fortunate as them.

To fill your qatayef, line a number of small trays with baking paper – the trays should fit your freezer.

The measurements for the fillings are approximate. Usually you buy (or make) a big batch of qatayef, prepare enough for at least the first half of the month, then freeze them. You can obviously eat as many or as few as you like but, for the larger stuffed ones, about three a person is a generous portion to work on. It’s hard to stop at one! During Ramadan, Muslims will not eat between dawn and sunset. They can eat in between these times. At the end of Ramadan there is a festival called Eid. Here Muslims gather and celebrate with friends and family. Although being a shop keeper isn't related to this trays theme a child's interpretation of activities in front of them will often veer off from what is planned. This is where the learning takes place and it is so important to work with the children, allow them to lead their play and encourage their imagination as much as possible. If you are making the pancakes from scratch, do this first. Stir together the yeast, warm water and sugar and leave the mixture to stand for a few minutes until it becomes foamy. Whisk together the flour, semolina, powdered milk, baking powder, salt and egg to make a thin batter. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest for one to two hours in a warm place until the mixture becomes bubbly.

For the cheese and walnut or cream-filled qatayef: combine the sugar, a half-cup water, orange blossom water and lemon juice in a small, heavy-based saucepan. Bring to the boil and boil until the syrup is clear. Set aside.When tiny bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, the surface is no longer shiny, and the bottoms are a light golden colour, the pancake is ready (it only needs to be cooked on one side). We used blue tac and added them to the windows and even used our homemade light box to enhance the colours. The children really loved the vibrancy of colours that appeared as the light shone through their pictures. I really do love sharing with children different religions, festivals and celebrations. They really find them fascinating. So far this year some of the cultural trays we have enjoyed are Shrove Tuesday, St Davids Day, Handas Suprizeand Easter.

One of the greatest sights and aromas of the holy month is walking past street vendors in ancient cities like Jerusalem – they expertly and speedily pour batter into rows of perfectly sized pancakes on a huge hotplate. Similarly, visit any pastry shop and you will be mesmerised by little pancakes bubbling away. By teaching young children about different ways of life and beliefs, they are more likely to be tolerant and respectful to all irrespective of their cultural or religious connotations.

Our Story of Ramadan resources use a range of teaching and learning techniques to support each child's individual learning journey and preferred learning styles.

Arrange the filled qatayef in one layer on the lined freezer tray place in a freezer bag, securely closed, then freeze for at least two hours. (For ease, each freezer tray should only hold one type of filling.) It’s important to freeze the qatayef so they hold their shape and don’t break open when fried. Educating children about the story of Ramadan in an age appropriate way will help them to support other communities, and take an interest in beliefs which differ to their own. You might want to encourage children celebrating the event to share their experiences with their peers, giving them a platform to discuss their home-lives and religious beliefs.
