Nuha has settled to our childcare centre very well within short time. She loves to be part of our

happy community. She has established trusting relationship with all her friends and teachers. We

are so happy to have her with us. She likes to do all the Montessori activities. Every day she

would choose some activities, especially pouring and spooning. She knows how to carry a tray

with things on it. When she finishes one activity she always tidy up and put it back where she got

it from and then she choose another one.

Nuha has a very good pencil skill, She knows

how to hold a pencil and write with it. She

likes coloring, and she can concentrate on a

long time coping stencil shapes on a paper

using only a normal sharpe black pencil..

Nuha’s language skill is good, sometimes she

speaks for her brother Furqan, Nuha was quite

shy girl when she first started to come to An–

Nur. She used to observe others, and learn by

observing. Sometimes in our group time when

I asked a question or sing songs she wouldn’t

answer or sing with us. I was surprised to

watch her one day she was sitting on a rock-

ing horse and singing, “I am Muslim….” she

sang the whole song. I don’t know when she

memorised the song.

Nuha is a gentle, caring and friendly person.

She is aware of our rules and routines. She

has no problem following those.

We will assist Nuha to further develop her

skills and knowledge through providing sup-

port and encouragement throughout all areas

of our programme.

Nuha has been showing a lot of interest in art work. She knows all the process of doing

drawing and painting. Now she is moving her attention towards cutting with scissors. A few

weeks ago I have given her a lesson on how to use a pair of scissors. Nuha has been practic-

ing how to open and shut the scissors using her thumb in one side and two other finger in

other side. We keep some long strip of papers ready for the children, which has variety of

different line drawn on it. Very often Nuha would sit with the basket of paper and a pair of

scissors and concentrated on cutting those papers following the lines, making little pieces or

shapes.

Learning happening here-

Through all the art activities

Nuha has been doing

-she is developing her fine

motor skills, hand-eye co-

ordination, concentration.

-Also extending imagination

and creativity

Increasing self discipline

and independence

What next ?

We will make sure that Nuha gets

opportunities to improve her skills

further.

We will provide new challenging

activities so that Nuha can practice

scissors skills where she needs to cut

Varity of different shapes and sizes.

In New Zealand Early Childhood Curricu-

lum Te Whariki it explains in Communica-

tion Goal 4: “Children will experience an

environment in which they discover differ-

ent wats to be creative and expressive.
