Ramadan: How PE lessons can change during Muslim holy month

The Islamic Holy month of Ramadan begins on the 10th of March.

It's a very important time in the Islamic calendar, with Muslims all over the world taking part.

During Ramadan, lots of Muslims fast. This means they don't eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset, and they also take part in important prayers.

It is common for Muslims to have a meal (known as the suhoor) just before dawn during Ramadan, and another (known as the iftar) directly after sunset.

Although Ramadan means a big shift in routine for lots of Muslims, young people taking part across the UK this year will still be attending school and taking part in lessons as usual.

However, one lesson that may look a little different for some is physical education, or PE.

PE often involves physical activities or sports which require lots of energy.

As fasting means some students may have less energy throughout the day, some schools have chosen to make changes to lessons to make sure students can still be active and enjoy themselves, but without getting too tired.
