We are potters. Columbin Pottery in pictures

Assalamu alaikum!

Some pictures of the potters in work and their finished products!

We did it! On a gagne!

Did we forget to mention that we WON the cleanest classroom competition? 

All the classes from CI to seconde were trying to win the coveted prize of a FREE trip to Magic Land. Alhumdulilah, our class won!

We are still trying to keep our class and our school environment clean! That is the point of it all!

The trip will be in January inshaAllah as we have 2 of our students who are travelling during the break!

Have a great day!

Reminder: Parents Teachers Conference

Assalamu alaikum!

Have a great day!

Health and hygiene week this week

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!

HEALTH AND HYGIENE WEEK

We're celebrating health and hygiene week this week!

We will be having activities all this week including the cleanest class competition. Now, Grade 5 said that they want to win the competition because they want the GRAND prize of the trip to MAGIC LAND. Now, that's all good, however, everyone has to clean up their OWN space. No collective sweeping or cleaning anyone else's MESS! This way inshaAllah, everyone is responsible for keeping the class clean just by keeping their own space clean.

VISITORS

We will be having some inspectors from the USA this week inshaAllah at IQRA. So just a reminder to students to respect school rules at all times and come to school neat, tidy and ready to work!

Have a great week!

Picking up the pace...

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!

We hope that everyone is doing well!

We are a little behind in our lessons and we have been going quicker this last week and will continue over the next few weeks inshaAllah. It means, however, that students must maintain the agreed 2 hours minimum of lesson revision, homework and reading EVERY DAY including Saturdays and Sundays. It would be actually good to do a little more on the weekends anyway!

Nous sommes légèrement en retard par rapport a nos leçons. Donc les rattrapages, nous sommes entrain d'aller plus vite. Les élèves désormais doivent faire les deux heures obligatoires de révisions, devoirs et lecture chaque jour y compris les weekends!
