Resource Details
The Swirling Hijaab
Description:
An excellent dual language picture book to introduce as a cross-curricular resource for pupils at Key Stage 1. This book can be used as reading material for English and Languages as well as as a starting point for discussion and project work in Religious Education. It is equally important for pupils from bilingual families and those from monolingual backgrounds. A wonderful and imaginative book with simple text and vibrant illustrations that put forward the message of the hijaab as a significant part of the Islamic faith for women. A young girl plays with her mother's hijaab or head scarf and imagines it to be a fort to hide inside, a ship's sails, a comforter and many more but decides that a head covering is the best use of the hijaab. Celebrating the Islamic religion and faith, this book supports the learning of English and a range of other languages. A photocopiable resource pack 'Keep the Faith' featured inside Literacy and Learning (May/June 2002 Issue) and prepared by the National Literacy Association included activities and suggestions based on 'The Swirling Hijaab' for key stage 1. A very good book that introduces a bilingual and multicultural dimension to the literacy hour activity. This title is available in 20 dual language editions: English with Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Czech, Farsi, French, German, Gujarati, Italian, Malay, Punjabi, Pushtu, Portuguese, Serbo-Croatian, Somali, Spanish, Tamil, Turkish and Urdu.
