Veillee religieuse

Assalamu alaikum!

School starts January 2nd

School will be restarting this Wednesday, January 2nd inshaAllah. We are aware that many students may not be present. We will keep that into consideration inshaAllah as we do our lessons.

Religious Night January 5 - 6

The veillee religieuse will be this coming Saturday, January 5th. This event takes a considerably amount of preparation. If you would like to be a part of the team, please feel free to contact us! Students will spend the day and the following night at the school involved in prayers and meditations, religious talks, games, etc. We need your help! Get involved!

Over the break

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!

I am very sorry if you haven't received any news these last days. We were having Internet problems for a few days.

Important dates

December 21 : Parents Teachers Conference - Report Cards released

December 22: General Assembly Parents Association

You can still get any report cards this day if you haven't done so already.

January 02: School starts

We will confirm this date inshaAllah, as the Magal is January 1st.

The students have taken all their notebooks home. They also have all the artwork that they have done. I don't really think that they got much homework; we decided to have pity on them. They do have however, Math and Science work, and they should be revising their notes, Deenyat and Quran lessons everyday inshaAllah.

Science

Science Project

" Do boiled eggs or raw eggs spin faster?"

The project must be turned in poster form (like the first project). 

Students must do the experiment at home, and report the results. The project should include:

Title, Hypothesis, Materials, Method, Observations/Results, and a Conclusion. 

Some pictures of them doing the experiment would also be interesting to add!

More information later this week! Stay tuned!

Field trip this Wednesday

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!

I hope that you have all had a peaceful and restful weekend.

Jacaranda

This coming Wednesday 12 December inshaAllah, Grade 3 and Grade 4 will be exploring Jacaranda, a society that grows and sells exotic plants.  You may have seen the small plant place that this company has in Mermoz, next to the Fondation Sonatel. However, the main location is in Rufisque and there, we will visit and explore the many hectares of plant life grown there.

We have been learning about plants in Science class for the last month and a half, and this is the best culmination to end this chapter!

Students will be given a form to fill out on Monday or on Tuesday inshaAllah. They will obligatory need to bring that paper back signed to be authorised to go on the field trip.

Religious Night

This greatly anticipated event will be postponed to January 5th inshaAllah.  During this night, students and parents listen, learn, and pray together in a spirit of conviviality and brotherhood.  We hope that this delay will permit us to better organise the activities to have the desired results inshaAllah.

We will be asking you to participate! You will be hearing from us soon inshaAllah!

Have a great week!

Science Projects

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!

I hope all of you had a very peaceful weekend!

Students in the Faraasha class have started doing Science Projects. These projects are to help them get better acquainted with the annual Science Fair competition at IQRA, and also to heighten their curiosity about things around them through inquiry.

The first experiment was intitled:

Do cut flowers live longer in salt water or in sugar water?

The whole class, except Ndatte Ndaw, thought that the salt water would make the cut flowers live longer. Why did they think this? They will have to explain it in their project reports, because they were all proved wrong!

The experiment was done in class in pairs. The flowers were kept on the balcony. The students were asked to observe their flowers and record their observations each day for 10 days.

The students need to give me the report of this Science project in poster form inshaAllah this week. I made a poster of the report, and they can understand, and follow how it should be done, by looking at it, and at the individual notes that they made.  They have also other lab experiment reports in their note books.

Students will have a science project to do every month inshaAllah.

Art Projects

A big takbir to Ndeye Maguette, Aminata Charlotte and Abdoulaye Fall. They made the best mini flower vases in Art last week! The art work was judged by Ustadh Ahmed, and mashaAllah, they were all very pretty!

We are doing Concentric Circle Patterns this week. 

Art work is usually left on display in the class or in the hallways. Visitors to the school greatly admire the work that the students are doing. The students also take great pride in their work. I will be returning Art work inshaAllah on December 20, the last day of school before the break.

Have a great week!
