🕋 A Journey of Faith: Our Interactive Hajj Activity Day! ✨

On May 18, 2026, Royat Al-Ebtikar International School embarked on a truly special spiritual journey right here at school! 🕌 We transformed our classrooms and Multipurpose Room into an interactive Hajj learning experience, helping our students understand the sacred journey and its rituals in an engaging and memorable way. 🌟

Our journey began with a wonderful classroom session led by Ms. Manal 🧑‍🏫. She introduced our students to the basic concepts and significance of Hajj, laying the perfect foundation for what was to come.

The children listened with curiosity and enthusiasm as they discovered more about this important pillar of Islam and the meaning behind the Hajj journey. 💡

Next, we moved to the Multipurpose Room, where the experience became even more immersive! ✨

We set up three large projectors, each displaying one of the key stages and landmarks associated with Hajj:

• 🕋 The Kaaba – the sacred heart of Masjid al-Haram
• ⛰️ Arafat – one of the most important stages of Hajj
• 🪨 Jamarat – where pilgrims perform the symbolic stoning ritual

Ms. Nahla 🧑‍🏫 took centre stage and explained each part of the journey in a simple, clear, and age-appropriate way that kept even our youngest students engaged. Through her explanations, the different stages of Hajj came to life for the children. 📖✨

Then came the part everyone had been waiting for... the robot activity! 🎉

Under the guidance of Ms. Taghreed 🧑‍🏫, our students watched in excitement as a robot wearing Ihram garments 🤖 recreated the Hajj journey on a specially designed map.

The robot moved from one station to another, demonstrating the different stages of Hajj while students followed along and interacted with the activity.

They asked questions, identified the different locations, and eagerly followed each step of the journey. It was a wonderful example of interactive learning and educational technology coming together to make Islamic Studies even more engaging. 🚀❤️

The activity was organised separately for each grade level, with every class receiving approximately 10 minutes in the Multipurpose Room.

This gave every student the opportunity to take part in the experience, observe the demonstrations, and engage with the activity in a comfortable and organised setting. The sessions flowed smoothly and created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day. 🕰️✨

Our goal was simple but meaningful: to give our students a clear, interactive, and enjoyable understanding of the Hajj rituals.

We wanted them not only to learn about the different stages of Hajj, but also to appreciate the beauty, meaning, and significance of this sacred journey. 🌙✨

The smiles, thoughtful questions, and many “wow” moments showed us just how meaningful the experience had been. 🙌

Hajj is a journey of faith, devotion, and unity. While our students were learning from their classrooms here in Jeddah, this activity allowed us to bring the Hajj journey to life for them in a memorable and meaningful way. 🕋❤️

A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Manal, Ms. Nahla, Ms. Taghreed, and everyone who helped make this beautiful day possible.

Our dedicated teachers are a key part of what makes our primary school community in Jeddah so special. Together, they helped plant seeds of faith, understanding, curiosity, and wonder in our students’ hearts. 🌱✨

Until our next adventure... stay curious, stay kind, and keep learning! 📚💫
