SCIENCE/ISLAMIC STUDIES
Talking about the wonders of Allah swt and how he has blessed us with our five senses, and what the function of each of these senses is. We experimented with our sense of touch, and insha'Allah next week we will be using our sense of taste and smell to see how we feel about different flavours and scents.
Our character theme for the month of October is "KINDNESS", please help your child with some new ideas of how they can be kind to their peers in the classroom. We talked about the hijra and are learning the song tala'al badru alaina.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Every day we incorporate physical activity into our classroom either through yoga, games of Simon Says or during our two scheduled gym classes. This week we spend both gym classes out in the yard where the students climbed, pushed each other on the spinning climber or worked out their hand and arm muscles on the monkey bars.
ART
Student explored symmetry by making leaves out of a leaf outline and a folded paper, while others worked on tracing triangles to make characters. We also used our writing centre to write letters of love to our moms and dads and family members.
QURAN
In quraan the students are learning surat At-Takathur. Please help your child review ayas 1-4 of this sura.
