Preparing For 2011

PREPARING FOR 2011

School is definitely closed for the children ~ BUT not for the teachers. Teachers are busy preparing the class, recieving enquiries and enrolment for next year. Two of our teachers, Ms Nurul Ayu and Ms Nur Hidayah attended kindergarten in-service training ( Latihan Perguruan Tadika Kohot 2) organised by the Department of Education at Miri Teachers' Institute from 23 Nov - 11 Dec 2010. There are million of things to be done before school starts on 3 January 2011. Ms Grace and Ms Ann will be taking a short break to celebrate Christmas with their families. We will all be back to work from 28 Dec onwards. BUSY! BUSY! BUSY!

2010 Wall Displays

WALL DISPLAYS

The pictures below are some of the things that the children have done in the last few months before school closed for the holidays. The children enjoyed seeing their work or project displayed ~ and created a sense of pride in them. The work were related to the themes.

Awal Muharram Maal Hijrah

AWAL MUHARRAM MAAL HIJRAH

A NEW YEAR

TO ALL OUR PARENTS AND MUSLIMS FRIENDS

Awal Muharram is the first day of the first month, Muharram in the Muslim calendar and it also signifies Prophet Muhammad's migration from Mecca to Medina on the first of Muharram in 662AD.

Reflecting ourselves is something that we are taught to do every day, but let us all make this day a special day to really reflect and strive to do things we ought to do to be better Muslims in this new year.

Salam Maal Hijrah and Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru 1432. We pray to Allah SWT that this new year brings us more barakah and rahmat.

2010 Graduates

These are the graduates of 2010 from Tadika Astana. As they go forward and climb higher in the ladder of education, we pray that they will be successful, be always kind to their parents and be good responsible citizens of the world.

Doa Untuk Graduan kami :

Ya Allah, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, Segala puji hanya untukMu Ya Allah, selawat dan salam keatas Nabi Muhamad SAW.

Ya Allah, kami memohon restu dari Mu agar ilmu-ilmu yang di pelajari dari Tadika ini dijadikan ilmu yang bermanfaat dan diberkati. Kami memohon agar ilmu ini menjadi tunjang untuk membentuk insan yang baik dan cemerlang.

Ya Allah, berilah kepada anak-anak graduan dari tadika ini ilmu yang banyak dan yang manfaat, kebijaksanaan serta luaskan kefahaman mereka. Lapangkanlah dada mereka serta mudahkanlah urusan mereka dalam usaha mereka untuk menuntut ilmu.

Ya Allah, berilah anak-anak graduan kami kekuatan dan keyakinan; tambahkan lagi keazaman dalam diri mereka untuk terus berusaha dan berjaya, seterusnya berjasa kepada agama, ibubapa, masyarakat dan negara.

Ya Allah, kami memohon agar anak-anak graduan kami sentiasa diberi petunjuk dan hidayahMu sepanjang hayat mereka.

Amin.

We will miss you and do keep in touch with us !

Eid ul-Adha In School

EIDIL UL-ADHA CELEBRATION IN SCHOOL

19 November 2010

It was a public holiday on Wednesday, 17 November 2010 for the Eidil ul-Adha celebration. We celebrated Eid Adha in a small scale in school as many of the children have gone off for the year end school holidays. We made greeting cards and learned about Eid Adha a week before ~ the dates and month in the Muslim calendar, the meaning of scarifice, the animals allowed for sacrifice, the story of Prophet Ibrahim and his son, the haj and so forth. We said out the Takbir every morning before we started class and before the children went home from Thursday to Friday.

Thank you very much to our parents who have generously gave some food to share with the children and teachers. May Allah SWT reward you with more rezeki and goodness. Jazakallah and Jazakillah khair!
