Welcome Back To School!

Assalamualaikum all!

It is time for the new school year! You have your school bag ready, your pencils and eraser, your ruler and pencil case, school shoes and new socks... so. Are you ready for school?

I am sure both parents and children are feeling anxious and excited - which is absolutely normal :) To ease the anxiousness, let us go through what will the first few days look like at Genius Aulad.

School starts on Thursday 5th January 2017. This also marks the first day of orientation for the students. This is the time when students familiarize with their teachers and make new friends. They might be a little reserved or even cry on the first day, but don't worry - they will warm up inshaa Allah :)

Orientation week will last until Friday 13th January 2017. There are many activities lined up for Orientation Week to retain the students' attention and develop their interests;

• The Ice Breaking session includes a tour of the school, explanation on classroom rules and toilet sessions, and fun activities like Story Time, Songs & Movements, and also Circle Time.
• The Creative Session involves more artistic activities such as paper cutting/tearing, smart folding, manipulative (sorting, matching, stacking, etc) and also playing with Play Doh.
• The Islamic Exposure session will have basic Islamic activities involving hafazan, fardhu ain, and solat.

Masyaallah, sounds like a really fun and educational orientation week. May the students benefit from the activities, learn to be independent and get along with their teachers and their friends, and make memorable moments during their first few days in school. Inshaa Allah :)

See you on Thursday, and may Allah bless our efforts and deeds.
