Furqan is now well settled in An-Nur environment. He has established a good relationship with

all the children and teachers. He knows the routines and rules in our classroom. He has been ex-

ploring all the learning areas in our classroom. We have a shelf with Montessori practical life

activities. Furqan love doing all those activities. Every morning he involved himself with all

those activities one after another. Furqan likes the activity - sieving the flour. The activity in-

cludes a big bowlful of flour mixed with grain. The children has to sieve the flour to separated

the grain and put the grain in another bowl. It is a very popular activity. All the children love

doing this activity.

Furqan has very good concentration. He is an extraordinary artist, he can spend an hour to col-

our a picture to perfection, that nobody in our class ever able to do that. I have noticed that when

Furqan concentred on colouring, he can sit in a noisy room and do that, nothing would disturb

him. He likes to use scissors often and developing his scissors skills and hand-eye co-ordination.

What next? We will make sure that Furqan get the oppor-

tunities to develop his skills further.

We will provide learning experiences to meet

his individual needs.

Make sure he increases his art skills without

disruption by other children Written by—Teacher Rosy

In our An-Nur Child Care centre

children have opportunities to do

practical life activities. Practical life

activities are those activities which

people normally do in using and

maintaining the home environment,

e.g carring a tray with objects in it,

pouring, spooning, using tongs etc.

Most important and interesting ac-

tivity in our classroom is preparing

fruit for morning tea.

Forqan shows keen interest in pre-

paring fruit for morning tea. When

Furqan sees fruit in the table ready

to be cut or when I asked, “Who

would like to cut fruit today?” Very

often he come and say, “I want to”.

He knows that we have to wash our

hands before we prepare fruit. So he

washes his hands without I asked

him to do so. Furqan knows how to

hold a knife with one hand and

make a tunnel with other hand, so

that the knife can go inside the tun-

nel to slice the fruit. Sometimes he

pushes the knife with other hand

until the knife touches the chopping

board. He is getting better with the

tong. He understands now that

when he uses the tong sideways it

works batter than when he uses it

upwards.

Throughout this activity Furqan is learning to cut fruit, He is also increasing hand-eye co-ordination,

concrntration,, independence, learning how to handle a sharpe knife and developing ability to control

hand movement as he using a pair of tongs,
