Al Bushra

Today we had our friends over from the Southwark Council. Rahala and Ambrosio were inviting our keen students to join the Southwark Conversations. The purpose of the consultation is to give people a chance to voice their opinions and ideas on life in Southwark to identify what needs improving. You can join the Southwark Conversations online at https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/ŌĆ ”/southwark-conversŌĆ”/

This Saturday we were discussing with our nursery students how Allah knows everything and how He gives life to all things. We collected leaves ­¤Źü­¤Źéfrom the school playground, decorated them and wrote a Qur'anic ­¤ō¢ verse as a reminder fit for the Autumn­¤ōģ season.

At Al Bushra we aim to provide a playful and a fun learning experience for our students. This article by World Economic Forum argues why it's the right approach to education: "Different forms of play provide children with the opportunity to develop social, emotional, physical and creative skills in addition to cognitive ones."
