Sudoku Puzzle:   Very few of them knew about Sudoku Puzzle, It was a bit hard for them, but none of them gave up , they took that puzzle as their home task to solve it . Even the young members were trying hard to place the numbers in suitable box . It was such a challenging task for them!!!     Science Experiment - The Magic of Air: I just wrote  the question on the board , " You can't see it , but you can't live without it! What is it ? " they discussed with each other and answered "AIR" :) Every one was so curious about experiment, they were observing and predicting what can be happen when I will take away my hand from the card. F

To see the report about 4th session of our club , click here  Report Session 4 First Activity I demonstrated two actions of drinking water in front of members and asked them to observe . one actions was hurriedly  drinking water while standing in one sip ..... and other was according to Sunnah of prophet (peace be upon him). After performing these two acts I asked them which scene would you think will quench my thirst , in which I was comfortable , relaxed and seemed satisfied. And then the discussion led us to learn the Sunnah of drinking water. I think to engage children in a meaningful discussion , allow them to realize , analyze and conclude the results are more helpful in accepting and adopting any good deed rather than to impose it on them. ِ I hope that this instructive methodology will remain in their minds in sha Allah. Second Activity Encouraging Child's creativity is one of the main aim of my club , I gave them all scrap material and they were supposed t

These days I am attending the classes of Maths Strands , that mainly focus on the philosophy and the conceptual learning of maths that can integrate with the real life.’ In the discussion about the activities our mentor asked us about to engage a child in the CREATION OF TABLE instead of forcing him to LEARN THE TABLE. Majority of mothers like me ….. :) focusing on the rote learning of tables and ask their children forcefully to memorize all the tables , well to learn the tables help us a lot but to learn or make children learn without knowing the logic or the pattern of the table is quite useless. Few months before I have placed table charts in my room and asked my 6 year old, to learn the tables one by one , as the tables had not been introduced in his class so being an efficient mother ( ironically saying :) ) I was in the way to make my child able to know and memorize all the tables before the time that it may come in his syllabus .
