Weekly Update….
"He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and
untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and the olive and
the pomegranate, like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth,
and pay the due thereof upon the harvest
day, and be not prodigal. Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals". Quran
Circle time discussions:
We discussed the Harvest theme with
our little ones and tried to relate it to Islam and how Allah blessed humanity
with different types of foods and crops.
We read some stories related to the
theme (Like: What’s for lunch, Moose, Amalia Bedilia and Howard Learns about
Mud and Rainbow).
Sister Madleen, Jazaha Allahu Khyran,
read a really nice story to our students called “I Love you Blue Kangaroo”.
The students enjoyed listening to the story and afterwards they were given a coloring activity that was prepared by Sister Madleen.
