Tuesday was the best weather day for a while, and alhamdulillah we took a trip out into the contryside that day. The colours were shining, golds and blues. Really beautiful, subhanAllah. I certainly felt better for having a walk in the fresh air.
On Wednesday everyone worked hard on the usual things. Ia is enjoying the Little Animal Ark stories more and more, and now wants to read several chapters to me in a day, maashAllah. I've suggested she could just read them to herself, as she does with other books, but she likes to read them to me in case she does not know a word. She really does not want to miss a thing in those stories!
Today Ia's friend came over and together they worked on the poster above, on a treasure boxof kind words. This is an Islamic studies connected piece of work, linked to the hadith that says "a kind word is charity". The treasure box is filled with kind words we can say to one another, as kind words are precious.
I took the activity from here, where it is activity 5. We have been working on the other activities too, and aim to complete the project, inshAllah.
We've also been learning about the virtues of the first 10 days of Duhl Hijr, and I've started to read the "Tell Me About Hajj" book to the girls. We also watched part of a DVD showing us the Eid ul Adhar celebrations in Mali. The girls did not previously understand the concept of sacrificing a sheep for Eid. The film showed nothing graphic, but sheep before, and cooked meat after, so the message got through, alhamdulillah!
