PRESCHOOL!
Child/Tama: Karam. Teacher/ Kaiako: Naema. Date: 16th October/ 2018.
An- Nur Childcare.

Asalam-o-Alaikum, kia Ora Karam! Your last story was about how you have been
developing the understanding of the world around you. It was mentioned how staff will set
up stimulating environment for you to foster your creativity and further develop your verbal and
non-verbal communication skills. We will also continue supporting you to take more
responsibilities for your belongings and as well of the centre.

During these last few weeks we have been encouraging you to take responsibility for learning
1
routines and self-help skills. We are supporting you to sit at the table read Dua before eating and
use togs to pick fruit from the plate and pass the plate to the next child. 1/10/10

Trust me it is not an 1/10/18

easy job to carry your
drink bottle and
lunch box at the same
time.

I have so much fun when teacher

Naema told me that I have to help in
putting off the fire from the Old
MacDonald farm. She told me I am the
best fire fighter because I saved all the
animals. 10/10/18
Teacher Naema told me
not to put play-dough in
the fire truck it will stick
to the ladder and fire
fighter will be in trouble.
Karam, recently we noticed that you leave the kai table as you want to explore all the wonders in
the room. You wanted to see what has been offered in the preschool room but we have been
encouraging you to stay until you finish your lunch, wash your hand and get yourself ready to
sleep.

It was
very tricky
but I
managed
to give my
plate to
teacher
Farah.

Sometimes I do read a
story before going to
the under 2’s area.

Today when I setup the ‘bathing dolls’ activity you were very excited and said, “ To do.” I
asked, “What you want to do Karam?” You pointed to the dolls, I said, “You want to give bath to
the doll”. You said, “Please.” I appreciated your manners and asked you to get apron but you
said, “No.” I mentioned to you that you have to wear apron if you want to play with water. You
were in deep thinking mode in the meantime Talia came with apron asking for help to put it on
her. I appreciated her for being so responsible. I noticed that you put your arms in front of me
and happily put on the apron. I noticed you had great skills washing the doll, you squeeze the
body-wash bottle and gently rubbed the doll’s body. I noticed when I was saying puku you
repeated the each and every part of the body.
What learning is happening?
Observation shows Karam developing understanding of the world around him. It is evident that
you are learning the routines and getting yourself familiar with centre settings and rules. It is also
clear that a stimulating environment is fostering your creativity and supporting to develop your
social skills and building confidence in your verbal and non-verbal communication skills.

How can we extend this learning?

Insha’Allah Staff will continue keeping active reciprocal relationship with you to further support
you to understand the centre’s settings, rules and routines. We will set-up a stimulating
environment such as bathing dolls to foster your creativity and further develop your verbal and
non-verbal communication skills. We will also continue supporting you to take more
responsibilities for your belongings and as well of the centre. We will encourage you to fix
things, clean, garden, and care for the environment and to help to put things where they belong.
