Hajj Day 2020

Salamu Alaykum,

On Wednesday students enjoyed their mini Hajj journey as they walked in

and out of the tents of ‘Mina’ and ‘A’rafah’. With their coloured scarves

sitting around their necks representing their groups, students showed a

sense of companionship and really embodied the spirit of Hajj as they

contemplated each step of the journey towards self-purification and

nearness to God.

Tawaf this year was like no other. With the Ka’ba resting on the roof of our

college, students were in awe as they made their way up the stairs and into

the open scenery. As tears rolled down some cheeks, it was at times hard to

believe that we were not standing in the heart of the holy city of Mecca.

As the days of Eid roll in, we would like to wish all families a safe and blessed

Eid al Adha.

We are indebted to brothers Ali Haidar and Haidar Ademi for their sincere

service and generosity on building and delivering the new Ka’ba as a gift to

the college. We pray Allah (swt) grants them the company of the original

builder of the Ka’ba in the next world nchallah.

Fimanallah.

KC WEEKLY BULLETIN

Asalamu Alaykum,

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to an exciting term 3!

PYJAMA DAY:

Last week, KC participated in Bellfield’s very first PYJAMA DAY to raise money and

bring awareness to kids in foster care. As part of the day’s activities, kindergarten

designed some beautiful pyjamas using craft materials and enjoyed a movie afternoon

with popcorn and juice.

ART:

In Creative Arts this week, KC has been learning about our animals and the kinds of

skins/coats these animals have. This week kindergarten students created a turtle

shell using watercolours. Students could identify that turtles have a hard shell that

is smooth and have large, rough flippers so they are able to glide through the water.

Next week we will be looking at the scales of a fish and creating the textures of the

fish using aluminium foil.

NUMERACY:

Throughout Numeracy lessons, students engaged in lots of fun and creative maths

play. We are learning to identify numbers that are bigger or smaller than another by

using different objects such as blocks, magnets and dinosaurs. Next week we will be

learning about length and how we can sort objects from longest to shortest.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY:

In Science and Technology lessons, KC is learning about our material world and the

different properties of glass, metal, wood and plastic. We are very excited to help

design a brand new playground for kindergarten students!

EXTRA CURRICULAR:

Kindergarten are super excited to begin our gymnastics lessons next week as well as

our Taronga Zoo incursion the week after where the zookeepers will be bringing some

animals for us to learn about!

AWARDS:

Students in KC have been working very hard to collect merit awards and last week

was the first assembly Miss Cardinale was able to hand out KCs very first Stage

Coordinator awards! Big congratulations to Soraya, Erha, Ali and Ayaan. Keep

working hard and collecting those merit awards boys and girls! ☺

We are looking forward to more fun, learning and events throughout Term 3!

Kind regards,

Miss Cardinale

Hajj one of the branches of religion, Kindergarten learned what Haj is and why we

as Muslims perform Haj. They were busy making and creating the Kaaba and exploring

the different rituals that are performed at haj. They worked tirelessly in the last

two weeks learning about the annual pilgrimage (Haj). They learned about the

different rituals of Haj, they explored what each ritual is about and why it is

performed. They learned and recited the words of talbiyah during Tawaf. Dressed in

their white Haj garments they had the opportunity to perform Tawaf around the

school’s very own Kaaba. They watched the re-enactment of the story of Lady Hajar

and Prophet Ibrahim (PBUT) and the water of Zamzam flowing miraculously out of

the ground between the mountains of Safa and Marwa. They listened to the story of

Rajem and why it is peformed in Haj. Through their art and class work they

demonstrated their passion to learn about the pilgrimage to Allah the creator of the

universe.

May Allah grant them this Holy visit to Haj, May Allah keep them among the guided

ones.

“Haj Mabroor wa Sa’ai mashkoor” to all the little Haji’s in Kindergarten.

Eid Mubarak to all our students, parents and caregivers.
