dissolving experiment
Today a simple science experiment was set up for the kids, it was about understanding dissolving principles. It is a challenging concept , but I tried to make it easy for the kids to understand.
I brought some cups and water and some substances like:rice , sugar , salt and pepper, then I explained what we are going to do, Musa was excited and curious about the experiment , he asked me three times " what we are going to do teacher "? He can't wait. I gave him a cup of water and I asked him to put some sugar into the water and stir the mixture well for 30 seconds ,After that I asked him "are you able to see the sugar Musa "? No I can't see, it's gone" he replied.then we put some pepper into another cup of water to see what will happen. Musa stired the mixture for 30 seconds, he was so surprised that the pepper didn't dissolve . At this point , Musa asked me "why the pepper has not gone "?.Finally I illustrated for all the kids what dissolving means (for a property to become broken up or observed by something or to disappear into something else ).and they understood everything.
Review of learning : through this experiment, Musa learnt what dissolving means that some substances can dissolve easily and others can not. This experiment was a change for Musa because he is usually more interested in arts. He was very happy and had a curious open mind.
Next time :I will do my best to extend your curiosity and make sure that you are exposed to different areas in school.

Play house
Today
morning when Musa came to the center I was observing him to see what he would
do. At first he wandered around the room, and then he went to the art area and
picked some cartons and sat down. I began pay attention carefully because it
seemed worth watching. I sat down next to him and he directly asked me
"teacher, can you guess what I'm going to do "?"Oh Musa, I can't
imagine what you will come up with but I'm sure it's something exciting".
After
that he asked me to help him stick the cartons together and make them into circle.
I liked the idea and I was wondering what he is going to do. Finally he made a
big slide and stocked it in the middle of the circle "it's nice and
funny", he said, and laughed.
"Musa
tell me now what did you make"? I asked him." it’s a play house
teacher", he said.
Review
of learning: through this experience I observed you Musa as a confident and
involved learner. I watched you as expressed wonder and interest in your environment
"can you guess what I'm going to do" followed and extended on your
own interest with enthusiasm, energy, and concentration smiling I could see how
proud and happy you were with your play house, you worked very hard to create
it.
What
is next: I will encourage you Musa to be involved learner and improve your
fine
motor skills as much as I can.

Review of learning
Today Musa was able to experience a very significant event of her culture and religion,
alongside her peers. Performing Hajj allowed her to connect to her spiritual side, as well
as make important connections between home, school and her wider community.
Were to next :
You teachers will continue supporting and valuing your
Islamic faith, in particular introducing you to concepts in hands on manner which we
have observed you enjoy the most.
