Theme: Respect for the Salaah

The obligatory five daily prayers were prescribed during the night the Prophet (s.a.s) ascended to the Heavens. It is the only pillar of Islam that is repeated five times each day. It is the one of the most virtuous deeds, and most beloved to Allah as the Prophet (s.a.s) said: “Know that the best of your deeds are your prayers, and only a true believer maintains the state of ablution.” [Imam Ahmad]

Kindergarten had a blast at their in-school dinosaur field trip! We learned all sorts of new facts about dinosaurs as well as

their challenging dinosaur names. We learned how to sort dinosaurs by name and colour, how to make a dinosaur rubbing

and got to discover our very own dinosaur to take home! We now have what it takes to be a true paleontologist!
