Recitation of doa after solat.
After the doa recitation, the children did some hafalan of some short Surahs. Then it was time to see the architectural aspects of the mosque, names of the various parts in the mosque, facilities and things found in the mosque.After looking at the various shapes found in the mosque, counting them .... the children spent time writing down the name of the mosque.
Jotting down things found and naming the various parts or areas inside the mosque.
The other facilities - the wuduk room for men and ladies.
The room for washing and preparation of the deceased for burial.
Ms Norleha explaining the various materials used for washing and cleaning the deceased. To wash and prepare the deceased, burial of the dead is obligatory on all Muslims, fardhu Kifayah.

Refreshments provided by the mosque committee. The children enjoyed the cakes and drinks.
Giving donation to the mosque.

An funny incident at the mosque ~ Khubaib put in some money for donation but when we were about to leave the mosque, he started crying. We found out that he cried because he 'LEFT' his money in the donation box and wanted it back. He stopped crying after getting back the money....... quickly replaced (or donated) by the mosque official. Thank you for saving the day!
Handing over our Thank you card to Encik Azman.
Faces of happy children in Junior 3 ..... so pure and sweet. We pray that all the children in Junior 3 will grow up to be good children and good Muslims. Amin.

Before we left, the children were given a goody pack to bring home and that was really the icing on the cake for the children. Thank you Encik Azman.
HAPPY CHILDREN WITH THE GOODIES! THANK YOU TO THE CHAIRMAN OF MASJID DARUL EHSAN, TUAN HAJI HAN, ENCIK AZMAN AND THE MASJID COMMITTEE FOR MAKING OUR VISIT A WONDERFUL AND MEMORABLE LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

JAZAKALLAH KHAIR !

Chorus:
Welcome O Ramadan, You are honoured

The oneness of Allah (x2)
O one who fasts, Stand up in prayer at night
And Allah will forgive (x2)

For the pleasure of Allah (x2)

O you who believe, Look out for the night
Most blessed of all nights (x2)
O you who believe, Take hold of this night
And lament to Allah (x2)

Don't weaken your iman (x2)
O you who believe, Give thanks to Allah
For the month of Ramadan (x2)

Egg Sandwich

Making egg sandwiches was a very challenging activity for the youngest in the school. It required lots of fine motor skills and was an absorbing experience for the children.
Step 1 : Shelling the eggs. This was a 'BIG' thing for the kids.

The egg shells were kept for some other craft projects. The following photos showed the children shelling the eggs.


Next - it was 'mashing up' the eggs. Every child loved this part. Ms Hidayah added some mayonnaise, salt and pepper into the mashed eggs.
Next - spread the egg mixture on to the slice of bread.

'This is how you do it! - spread the egg mixture, placed another piece of bread on top, make sure the bread is lined up together. Placed the sandwich in the container.
This is the way to make an egg sandwich.
