Orange Belt in the house !!

Assalamualaikum,

It been a great 3 years since we first introduce Aikido Shidokan to our student. Unlike other self-defense technique available out there, Aikido is a non-aggressive martial art that does not encourage attacking via punching or kicking, but uses the attacker's aggression to defense one selves. It promote balance, sharpen reflect and teaches calmness where children are taught to disable an aggressor without attacking.

Lets take a peek at the latest grading ceremony , where we welcome our very first Junior 5th Kyu (orange belt)  Ahmad Ziyad which was graded by Malaysia's Aikido Shidokan Chief Instructor Sensei Dr Ramlan Ahmad. Belt presentation ceremony was held at school and was presented by Sensei Farid.

Aikido Shidokan Classes are held at school every Thursday, 12pm-1pm. Students who enroll for Aikido lesson at school will be entitle for an additional classes Free Of Charge at Aikido Center Seri Kembangan. For more information please call 019-266 1407 or visit http://www.aikidoshudokan.my/

Welcoming the holy month of Ramadan 2013

Assalamualaikum.

The Holy month of Ramadan is finally here, alhamdulillah. Fasting may come easy for adult but it is very challenging to young children. We as parents must always bare in mind that as important Fasting during the month of Ramadan is, it should not be forced into our young children, what we can do is encourage them.

And to encourage out young khalifah to fast at school, we have created a special 'Fasting Tag' for our student, to be worn daily at school. They were given a choice to choose from 4 different design for boys and girls daily. 

Baring in mind that there is no Hadith to force young children to fast at this tender age, but there is a Hadith stating that children should start to perform solat five times a day at the age of 7. We will not force our student to fast should they feel that they cannot go on. All non-fasting student will be given food & drinks as usual but in an isolated area away from the rest. 

So far I am still ok !

Oh no shortage of Boys tag, looks like there are more fasting heroes at Prima.

Assessment Day

Assalamualaikum,

Assessment week went smoothly, alhamdulillah. The students seems very relax and able to adapt well to the changes. It was just like any other day but instead of books, we gave them assessment sheet. As this was the  First Term Assessment, the student were left seated at their usual seating arrangement as per ordinary day, the only differences is that their seating partner's paper is not the same as them, in fact it was a different subject. This is to them from copying each other.

This exercise is to merely to gauge what the student had grasp during their studies here, to see how much they understand, and their coping ability to answer all the question independently. The student were given  given as much time as they need, some needed few day to complete, and other just took few minutes. This is because some children may need more time to make a gradual adjustment and once they are comfortable,  it become easier to them. The student are encourage to answer the question on their own, however teachers are always within reach to assist them should they need further clarification.

Overall First Term Assessment week was a success. Everyone manage to complete all the papers within the week. And now its the teachers turn to mark all the paper. Assessment result will be given to parents on the upcoming Parents and Teachers Meeting (PTM). Hope to see you there.  :)

Bissmillah .... Dont forget to write your name.

Annual Excursion

Assalamualaikum and afternoon everyone !

The most anticipated day in 2013 school calender is finally here. It was very clear to see in the student's eyes that they were pumped and was so excited for the school trip. A whole day of fun cognitive learning outside the school environment, encouraging their use of language, stimulating their curiosity  and helping the student to form ukhwah, encourage a sense of responsibility, self-confidence, independence, self control and child’s consideration for others.

We made a few stops today. The 1st stop was at Domino's Pizza, where the children learn how to make a 'twister cheese bread' all by themselves, participate in games, becoming the food tester :) and even walked away with their very own personal pizza each! Simply fantastic.

Our 2nd stop was at the Sunflower Rice Factory. The children was divided into groups for the 'paddy to rice' talk, they were given a chance to feel the pre processed rice (paddy)  and even sampled some cooked rice. A packet of 500gm of rice was waiting for everyone at the end of the factory tour, alhamdulillah, more goodies to bring back !

The 3rd stop was the most awaited stop, it was the Ostrich Farm. They sat for a quick introduction of the ostrich farm , holding the huge ostrich egg and even had the chance to test the strength of the egg by stepping on it! There was also monkey show and  farm animal show & tell to entertain the students. Of course we kept the best for last, the ostrich ride and pony ride. Woohooo.

Before we know it, it was time for us to head back home. But before we head back to school, we had to make our final stop, Lunch . The children was excited as they can finally put the adap / decorum of eating in public into practice. They excel with flying colors !

All around, it was a fun day, the weather was beautiful, the student behave really well and everything went really smooth, alhamdulillah. Our gratitude to the very flexible trip operator , the hardworking teachers , the lively presenters and mostly the parents, for giving us the trust to make today excursion a success..

Pre-trip : The very excited bunch, told ya !

 Up up and a way...

How many slices of pizza do you want?

There is alway time to pose for the camera , right girls..
