    Welcome to term 3 News letter

    This term we have been focusingon enhancing childrens socialskills. For instance two of our goalswere to provide children withopportunities to develop:

    - A sense of responsibility andrespect for the needs and wellbeing

    of the group.

    -Language skills for increasingly

    complex purposes such as statingand asking others about intentions;expressing feelings and attitudes and

    asking others about feelings andattitudes; negotiating, predicting,

    planning. Reasoning, guessing, storytelling; and using the language of

    probability, including words such asmight, cant always, never and

    sometimes.

    Alhamdullilah we have had a wonderful and succcessful Eid and

    Haj celebration day. Our children really enjoyed the day. This

    time around our children have been revisiting the knowledge

    they had learnt about why we celebrate Eid ul Adha and the

    purpose for going to Haj and its rituals. They have learnt about

    the story of prophet Ibraheem and Ismail (AS) and the story of

    Zam Zam water. Insha Allah we are already looking forward to

    next years program.

    Our graduates Masha Allah

    We are proud and yet a little sad to say

    goodbye to the lovely sisters; Athifah and

    Afifah who graduated on 27 of October.

    Graduation celebrations are a bittersweet

    occasion for us teachers. While we feel

    proud that our children have grown and

    developed and are moving up the ladder

    yet at the same time we feel sad to be saying

    goodbye and not be part of their life journeyany more. However, we hope that we have

    made positive impacts in their life that they

    dont forget us

    In the next couple of months we have the

    following children graduating; Sarah,

    Arrssalan, Isa, Samera and Husna. Insha

    allah we will be having their graduation

    ceremonies soon.

    Term 4 focus

    This term Insha Allah as part of our Professionaldevelopment and our childrens needs we are focusingon literacy skills. For instance children will developconfidence and ability in expressing thoughts and

    imagination through the use of a range of tools, scriptwritting, technology and media.

    Please continue to check theblogand

    Facebook on monthly basis to check onyour childs progress.

    We have an open door policy however; it isdifficult for us to talk to parents when weare suppose to be running the program.Thus, if you would like to discusssomething with us in detailthen the best

    ways to communicate with us is via emailor make an appointment.

    If your child comes in late, then please helpus to quicklyand quietlysettle him or her

    without disturbing the class routine orprogram.

    Please continue to provide healthy foods

    for your child/children. We also appreciateyou sending variety of fruits/veges andcrackers for shared morning tea.

    Please labelyour child/children belonging.

    We do have a lost property boxlocated in

    the parents corner in the corridor. Please

    check the box regularly for your childs

    belongings. Also since children smaller

    containers are not labeled we do end up with

    lots of containers. Please check the trolley for

    your containers or the lost property box.

    Jazzakullahu Khairan for your understanding

    and continued support.

    email the management about their plans ASAP.

    Parents who have not filled theparent questionnairesare also kindly requested to submit those

    ASAPto us, as we need your input for next year's strategic plan.

    We thank our parents for signing in the attendance sheetsfor children and encourage maintaining this

    habit on daily bases, as it is a ministry requirement. Kindly report absence or late attendance/pick up tothe Centre or head teacher before hand.

    Please note that casual attendance is not guaranteedany more due to children numbers and ratios

    regulations. If you need your child to attend on a day or time not enrolled you need to check with headteacher at least one day before and expect approval or declining of your request based on circumstances.
