I am Clean

Allah the Most Pure, loves people who are always clean. In Islam, keeping ourselves clean is an act of goodness.

Circle time was fun as Teacher Faz, brought things that help us clean, like comb, soap, toothpaste and best of all each kid got a toothbrush each to remind them about keeping their teeth clean always

Letter Fun

We had extension activities for the letter B, as we did lacing around the alphabet and cut-out ball.

Lacing is an excellent activity for developing fine motor skills, improving hand-eye coordination and concentration, and keeping little kids happily amused!

Music and Movement

Teacher Faz, introduced the children to different kind of musical instrument, and they were excited....

Azfareeq Luqman, showing off his real talent!!
