Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents & Carers,
Eid Mubarak to you all!! I hope you all had a wonderful &
relaxing Eid holidays spent with your family and friends. The past
fortnight has been very eventful and fun Alhamdulilah. We had loads
of fun at the Book Fair and Alhamdulilah I am happy to report it
was a huge success with close to $600.00 worth of Scholastic and
Islamic story books being added to the school Library!
Tabaarakallah the K-2 Hajj Simulation was a complete blast.
Students learnt all about the rituals of Hajj all while endevouring
on a holy and beautiful journey! A big thank you to all the staff
who helped make the occasion such a memberable one. May Allah SWT
reward
you all
Alhamdulilah everything has been going great in the classrooms,
students are working hard and progressing very nicely. Teacher’s
are constantly looking for ways to push students to their full
potential. MashaaAllah students have shown us they are capable of
achieving great things when we believe in them and they believe in
themselves. Yours sincerely, Ms Nada.
Hadith
The Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon his) said:
“The first thing to be done on this day (first day of Eid Al-UdHa)
is to pray; and after returning from the
prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the name of Allah) and
whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (traditions).”

CLASS LEARNING
AN INSIGHT INTO OUR GEMS WEEK OF LEARNING
Assalamu alaikum and welcome to term 3. What a term it has been
with our Hajj simulation, book week, school reports, school photos
and Eid Al-Adha!!! Kindergarten have had a fun filled and eventful
return to kindergarten. The Hajj simulation happened on the 30th of
July and was an all-round
fantastic day. Lead by our very own Skeikh Ayad 😊 It was a lot
more informative (and even more fun); with even the teachers
learning something new. The simulation went up until lunch with
everything being complete from the aeroplane ride, Kaaba, the tents
of Mina, the Safa and Marwa walk, Mount Arafat, slaughtering of the
lamb, sleeping under the stars in Muzdalifa, Zum Zum well and Ramy
Al Jamarat . Each station had their own activity that closely
aligned to steps in Hajj in order for it to be as interactive and
hands on as possible. In Sha Allah next year we will have the
parents come and join in on this joyous occasion.
Book week was another fun filled event that has happened, the
hall looked fantastic if you were able to come in and the students
were very excited and happy to start reading the books they had
bought. Lastly, we had our holidays for EID -Al-Adha. I hope
everyone stayed safe during the holidays and sent a relaxing and
spent a relaxing and fun filled time with close friends and family.
Until next fortnight, Kindergarten Ruby
Assalamu alaikom parents,
I hope you had a peaceful and safe Eid break. Year 1 students
had a wonderful time experiencing Hajj simulation last week and
were briefly exposed to the pillars of Hajj. This term students
will focus on narrative writing text and how to create their own
stories. Creative arts will be linked to their English units as
they will be exposed to practicing Drama based on the stories
learnt in English class.
Alhamdulillah a few of year one students have now been moved to
a higher reading level, this reflects the hard work of parents as
well. Our goal for the rest of the term is to reinforce the
students writing skills as they progress towards the end of the
year, this will ensure they are well prepared for year 2 insha
Allah. Ms Shaima
Wow! What a great start to T3! It has been an adventure taking
year 2 to cover Ms. Ellen's leave. It was a lovely experience to
see Year 2 students put in their best effort forward in their
literacy and numeracy work. The Hajj stimulation was an incredible
journey that will inshallah be cherished in their childhood
memories. I would like to thank all the staff member who supported
the event from behind the scenes preparations all the way to
re-organizing the classrooms. I am sure the Eid break brought a lot
of joy to the students and teachers. It was another wonderful event
that bought the heart together despite the current wave of
coronavirus.
I am pleased to see the imaginations of the students emerge in
drama lessons. I am glad to see students working co-operatively
with each other, supporting each other and working towards
self-improvement in many areas. I am looking forward to seeing
students imaginative writing work as we working on developing
narrative. Please support your child to read every day as this will
inshallah help them to expand their vocabulary and ideas. Ms.
Amira

Assalamu Alaikum parents! I hope you all enjoyed your two weeks
off and were able to relax and have some fun together. It is great
to have the children back and ready to learn after such an
upside-down first half of 2020! This term you might have noticed
that we have had a few changes to our homework booklet, whereby we
are doing weekly time table practice to boost the children’s speed
and accuracy in Maths, and there are also Geography/Science/Grammar
worksheets. Some weeks, rather than two reading comprehensions, I
have replaced one of them with a worksheet relating to our studies
in the classroom to back up what we are learning about. The
children will also have a fortnightly times table test! Meanwhile
in class, we have started learning about procedure/instructional
text, which will be our focus for the next few weeks. We have also
had our Hajj experience, which the children enjoyed greatly. I hope
that you all had a great time celebrating Eid with your families,
it is great to have the children back for what I hope will be an
excellent term! Ms Jasmin
Assalamu Alaikum students, parents, and caregivers,
Hope everyone had a Happy Eid and enjoyed spending their time
with loved ones. I am sure everyone enjoyed the days off to relax
and come back enthusiastic to start work on Tuesday. I must say
that I was very grateful for the days off, which I spent sleeping
and catching up on work. Just a quick update on our class: We have
started new topics and have been enjoying learning new information
on various subjects. We are performing in Drama for CAPA. I am a
trained drama teacher, so I am especially excited to put my skills
to use. Students have already started learning about drama and some
fun drama games to go along with it.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind students
that homework is a very essential part of school. It allows us to
revise work that we have learnt in class and practise these new
skills. Some students are not putting in a lot of effort or handing
in homework at all and are ending up in detention. I would like to
remind students that we need to start making it a regular
occurrence at home or to see me if they are having troubles with
the work so I can assist.
Lastly, I would like to commend 5/6 Sapphire on their behaviour
lately. They are acting like great role models for the younger
years and are actively trying to incorporate all classroom
expectations in their school days. Well done and keep it up!! Also,
please remember to encourage your students to practise good hygiene
in these recent times. This means getting them to wash their hands
regularly! Regards, Ms Amanda
Dear Parents and Caregivers, I hope you all enjoyed you’re Eid
break and stayed safe. If you weren’t aware, student reports have
recently gone out, as well as their Semester 1 assessments and
examinations. Please familiarise yourselves with these, especially
the comments that teachers have left. In terms of individual
classes, 7/8 Diamond have been going well thus far. It has been a
bit stop-start to commence the term, although they have been
working hard. They are reading a novel in English, have commenced
Geography lessons for the first time this year, and will have a
qualified coach teach them everything about cricket for the
remainder of the term. Howzat!
9 Opal are behaving really well. I am surprised at how quiet it
is in class sometimes, although if you give them an inch they’ll
take a mile! In English, I am preparing them for their written
speech, which will be due in the next couple of weeks. This speech
will have to be performed at the end of the term in front of the
class. My goal is to give them feedback on their written speech so
that they can make it more persuasive by the time they perform it
in Weeks 8 or 9. They too have begun Geography for the first time
this year and will also learn the game of cricket. For TAS, they
are being taken through a course on the ideas behind computer
coding. They don’t actually use computer code, but they are
learning the concepts behind it and building on their
problem-solving skills. This is completed in a simplistic game-type
environment, so I hope they are enjoying the challenge! Kindest
Regards, Mr. Adrian
