Welcome to Iqra,
Sr. Naheed!
What would you like to do in the summer?
I would want to go to Dubai during the summer. I have an aunt there.
She is my dad’s sister. I have a cousin there as well. His name is
Ayaan. I love going to Dubai as there are lots of fun places to go to.
There are lots of beaches there. What I love the most about Dubai is
that all the food is halal. The tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa
is in Dubai as well. Last time when we went there we went to Dubai
Safari as well. Dubai is a fun place to go to during summer, but it's
extremely hot there.

What would you like to do in the
summer?
If I could go anywhere in the
summer I would like to go to
Florida because it’s really warm
and sunny there. The resorts
where I want to stay will have a
big swimming pool and many
other fun activities. Finally, there
are nice beaches, Disneyland,
and Universal Studio which are all
fun to visit.

Back To School
My favorite part about going back to school is that I
will meet my best friends Taj, Akbar, and Faiz.The
best part about going back to school is all the
occasions like the Iqra Food Festival. This school is
one of the top 10 in GTA. I love this school and I am
never going to leave until I graduate.

Why am I excited going to Grade 4?
It’s a new school year with so many things-new school, classmates, books, supplies, teachers, and class. It’s a fresh start to discover yourself. For me, one of the most exciting reasons of starting a new year is meeting new people. The first few weeks are an exciting time to meet new people, hear new stories and maybe make new friends.

My Favorite Part About Going Back To School
My favorite part about going back to school is
school shopping. Shopping includes buying school
uniform, school supplies, school bag, lunch box, and
some shoes. I went to many stores like Staples,
Walmart, Dollarama, Dollar Store, Chapters and
many more. I enjoy school shopping. It was easy to
get all the school supplies, but buying school
uniform was a struggle. I went to Old Navy,
Walmart, and Square One to get the school uniform.
All the shopping made me hungry
so my parents took me to the food court. After
eating I continued shopping. I was so tired that I
wanted to go to sleep. My parents d id the rest of the
shopping.

RIDDLES
1. Why can’t you trust the law of gravity?
2. What is the mistake in the the following list:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ?
3. Matt wants to get into a secret society, so he spies on the
side and watches other club members enter, the guard says
twelve the lady answers six, then another man approaches and
the guard says six, the man answers three; then Matt goes and
the guard says ten and Matt says 5 but to Matts surprise he's
not allowed in. What was Matt really supposed to say?
4. It's shorter than the rest, but when you're happy, you raise it
up like it's the best. What is it?
5. What do you get if you add 2 blackberries and 5 apples?
What can students do
over the summer to
prepare for school?
Students can do a lot
of things during the
summer to prepare
for school, they can
go shopping with their
parents for supplies
like bags, pencils,
erasers etc. They can
also review some
work from last year.
Students can also try
to prepare lunch by
themselves for
school. They should
also check if the
uniform has the logo
and see that the
clothes fit. They also
must work on
sleeping early and
waking up early every
day.

The Significance of the First month in the Islamic Year
Muharram, the first month in the Islamic Calendar is a month of
great importance. Muharram means “forbidden” and is one of the
sacred months in the Islamic year. It’s also sunnah to fast on
Ashura, which is the tenth of Muharram. If you fast, you should fast
on 9 and 10 or 10 and 11.It’s good to fast in Muharram as said in
the hadith translated by Imam Al-Muslim: “The best of fasts
besides the month of Ramadan is the fasting of the month of
Muharram.”

What are your goals for Grade 8 ?
Every year I have a goal where I can
improve. For this year my goal is to focus
on academics, participate in activities and
focus on art.
I need to focus on my studies so I can get
into a proper high school and also get
many awards. Participating in activities
that are happening in school would build
my confidence level.
These are some goals to improve myself
in this grade 8 year and hope I can
achieve them.

What I am scared about my new school year
Assalam-o-Alaikum, my name is Muhammad Cheema. I’m 9 years old. I’m scared of my new
school year because I’m bad at English, Spelling tests, and also French. They speak French
during the French period instead of English. My French spelling test is getting harder and
harder. I want to win everything this year, but I know it is going to be difficult. I will work hard
and try to win all the awards and overcome my shortcomings.
