Our home-schooled children have been practising their skills needed for clear, neat handwriting.
Mastering good handwriting is a gradual process for every child, but for some, learning to write quickly, legibly and comfortably can be more of a challenge.
Pupils of Key Stage 1 have enjoyed growing their cress heads in the last few weeks.
This followed on with a fun healthy activity of making egg and cress sandwiches.
Our home-schooled pupils have been learning about 3-D shapes and their properties.
Pupils were asked to name the shape and then discuss how many faces, edges and corners each shape has.
They then went on to describe the properties of different triangles by comparing triangles (equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, right-angles triangle and scalene triangle)
The students produced posters to highlight the areas mentioned above.
Taking care of the Masjid and looking after it is encouraged and praiseworthy in Islam.
As an encouragement and for rewarding the children for their excellent effort in keeping their classrooms/Masjid tidy and clean we have introduced some golden trophy badges.
Each class member will get the opportunity to wear these badges for a set duration and results will be recorded.
In houses (masjids), which Allâh has ordered to be raised (to be cleaned, and to be
honoured), in them His Name is glorified in the mornings and in the afternoons or the
evenings, (Surah An-Nur 24:36)
As adults, we understand that there are many virtues of tidying the Masjid and Islam encourages us to do so.
Raising awareness of this to students will help build their character and develop them as responsible model individuals.
Pupils had lot of fun this week solving challenging puzzles using the BrainBox game.
This game helps the children with basic mathematical concepts, including numbers, shapes and measurement.
Some of our home-schooled students have been exploring how plants absorb water during their science lesson.
Firstly, the children got to understand how a plant obtains water by discussing why there is a need to water plants as well as where water for plants usually come from.
Key stage 2 have been working on Autumn themed writing activities during some of their English lessons.
Students were asked to do some research on hibernating animals, migrating birds, seeds, fruits and nuts as well as the weather of autumn and then present them on poster paper.
Yesterday we came to the end of the first half term.
Both staff and students created some excellent vibrant models and poster designs based on our new learning garden.
Children had the opportunity to research how to grow and maintain a range of fruit, vegetables and a variety of flowers.
Yesterday some of our home schooled children visited the Fire Safety Centre in Bury.
The children participated in various activities to understand the importance of home fire safety using a sensitive approach.
Clay art modelling is a fun art activity that involves the sculpting and moulding of modelling clay into a variety of shapes and objects.
Hand-building is working with clay by hand using only simple tools.
