PARENTS!

Be sure to foster your child’s interests as they can stay with your child for life!
Teacher Maysoon’s son Abdullah has just been given an award in an international architecture and design competition. Abdullah first showed an interest in building design right here at An Nur when he was enrolled here. These are some pictures and extracts from his profile book during his time here at An Nur.

Abdullah made this wonderfully creative block construction independently during the morning. This shows his understanding and mastery of the use of blocks. This block creation is an excellent example of his creativity and balance skills.

Abdullah spends a lot of his free time in the block area making some amazing creations. He has a well developed sense of balance, shape and form in his buildings and he draws his designs from his environment. Many of them have a relation to the mosque design.

Our assessor thought that we have done an amazing job and have worked very hard to maintain a healthy environment, especially considering all of the disruptions with the earthquakes. 
Our centre showed that we have good, strong relationships with our community and we make keeping them informed a priority. Our learning stories showed that we provide lots of interesting and interactive experiences and lessons. They really liked how we place alot of emphasis on the celebrations of our culture and religeon, as well as lots of opportunities with the worm farm, vegetable garden and cooking activities.
Well done to everyone, and keep up the good work!
