What to teach at home? This fantastic theme on Healthy Living!

ARE YOU HOMESCHOOLING YOUR CHILDREN? TIRED OF WONDERING WHAT TO TEACH YOUR LITTLE ONES AT HOME? WHY DON’T YOU FOLLOW THIS WONDERFUL THEME ON “HEALTHY LIVING”

THIS POST GIVES YOU A THOROUGH OUTLINE ON WHAT TO TEACH EACH WEEK IN ALL AREAS OF LEARNING FOR 4-5 YEAR OLDS!

Healthy Living is a fabulous theme which covers learning about the body, sports and exercise, cleanliness and hygiene and most importantly healthy eating (always a popular one for parents generally). We spent a whole month going through these areas of learning in the most creative and exciting way to get our children really thinking about their bodies, teeth, sports and eating! As usual I want to share the theme overview plan as it gives an idea of what the months learning is all about.

WEEK 1: Our bodies

We started the theme by looking at our bodies. Following on from last years learning on the body, the children were now ready to look more at bones, muscles and even organs. This required a whole week’s of learning so we decided to make a pull out life size body book. We started using large ikea roll of paper (you could use the other side of old wall paper or even left over wrapping paper). Ammarah lay down on top of it while I drew her body outline. The next day, we looked at organs and talked about most of the body’s organs, what they are for and where we find them in our body. The day after we looked at our bones and joints and why our bone are so important. On the final day we talked more about our muscles and why we need them. All in all it was lovely working towards a final project by the end of the week which my girls adore because they can keep them as a book!

LITERACY:

Working through our phase 3 sounds we were looking at sound /ar/ this week. We have been working towards writing sentences or captions by the end of the week. Check out our Tuesday Teaching Tips video on How to write a sentence here. The younger children who have worked through their alphabet phonemes are now working on blending their sounds – more on that can be found on our teaching tips video here.

NUMERACY: 

This week in Numeracy we focused on time. Night and day, days of the week and even months of the year.

ARABIC & ISLAMIC STUDIES:

To tie in with our learning on time we started by looking at the 5 prayers of the day. By the end we combined it with our maths session on time the following week to make our own prayer time posters.

WEEK 2: Sports & Exercise

This week was all about keeping our bodies healthy through exercise and sports. We talked a lot about the heart and lungs too, bringing in what we learnt from last week. We set up some indoor games which required hand-eye coordination: including throwing and catching, beanbag throwing, stepping and jumping, bowling with skittles, mini golf and even football!

We ended the week with a lovely sports day! You could do this by teaming up with other mamas or even with your children’s friends or cousins! We had a picnic and handed out medals for all those who took part – because everyone’s a winner! Some of the games during sports day included, potato and egg race, sack race, running race and even a 3 legged race. I would suggest children get a little familiar with these races before the actual day! We continued with exercising at home by watching the awesome videos by Cosmic Kids Yoga on Youtube. The Yoga sessions include awesome storytelling with exercise and lots of stretching – keeps them fully focused and entertained!

LITERACY:

This week in literacy we focused on the sound /or/. Look at our fab sentence work! More on teaching sentence writing can be found here.

NUMERACY + ISLAMIC STUDIES:

We looked at telling the time this week. We played “What’s the time Mr. Wolf?” and added hands to our clocks for our Salaah times chart.

WEEK 3: Keeping Ourselves Clean!

This week was an important week for our young children as we looked further at brushing our teeth, washing our hands well and having baths. We began the week with an awesome science experiment about our teeth. We hardboiled 2 eggs. Once they were cool we showed the children how we are going to leave 1 egg in a cup of coke and 1 egg in a cup of water. After approximately half an hour, the egg that was sitting in coke changed to a light brown colour! It was fascinating to see that drinking too much coke or having too much sugar could do to our teeth. We asked the children what could help us remove the brown colour from the egg. They helped us brush that egg until it was white-ish again using an old tooth brush and toothpaste! Later in the week we made tooth brush holders using tissue roll and even clay.

LITERACY:

In literacy we looked at the sound /ow/ this week. The children followed up with these sentences introducing them to question marks too and applying our tricky word learning in our sentences. More on teaching tricky words can be found on the blog here.

NUMERACY:

This week we recapped adding in numeracy using numbers beyond 10. We used practical methods throughout the week understanding how addition number sentences are written, followed by understanding doubling numbers.

ARABIC & ISLAMIC STUDIES:

We tied in the concept of wudhu or ablution into our week on hygiene and cleanliness. The children had a lovely session of water play and turn taking, helping each other through the steps of the ritual ablution/wudhu!

WEEK 4: Healthy Eating

This was our final week on healthy living. We looked at where food comes from, which food is healthy and good for us to eat. We even looked at how we can eat a whole plant. My girls also enjoyed making fruit art and play dough pretend food. It’s a great time to start growing your own vegetables or take the children to a greenhouse/nursery or farm showing them where our food actually comes from.

colours of Allah

LITERACY:

We looked at the sound /oi/ this week and practised more sentence writing. More on teaching your child how to write a sentence can be found here.

NUMERACY:

In numeracy we looked at halving numbers using the ladybird method. We shared out the spots on each wing to find out half of the number – by counting out the spots on one wing!

And there you have it, a whole months worth of learning weaved in through one major theme – Healthy Living.

WILL YOU BE FOLLOWING THIS THEME WITH YOUR LITTLE ONES ANYTIME SOON OR HAVE YOU DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR?

Our final lesson on The Great Caliphs topic - subh Our final lesson on The Great Caliphs topic - subhanAllah what a tragic ending for the 4th Caliph, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet (pbuh). 
.
.
There were a lot of questions and discussions on what happened next and who became Caliph and whilst I could share with my eldest briefly I think this will be another history topic that we will explore at a later date. 
.
But for now it has been quite the journey getting through this topic on the Great Caliphs and something I’d highly recommend to you especially if you’ve taught your children the Seerah .
.
We hope you’ve enjoyed following along - the full plan and resources are now available in our shop www.mamateachesme.com

Our 40 page plan and Resources are nearly finalised for this Unit The Great Caliphs - looking forward to sharing more soon IA

Coming to the end of our lessons on the Great Cali Coming to the end of our lessons on the Great Caliphs and we look deeper into the tragedy that was the Muslim Civil Wars. This was something I didn’t even know about in my childhood and only learnt of it during my time in University. 
.
Surprisingly the children’s books we are using didn’t mention these battles - however I felt it was important for Ammarah to learn what had happened especially as we are learning this as a History unit. So we looked to another book (as pictured) and found details of the the 2 major battles that occurred between Ali (ra) and other companions of the Prophet (pbuh). 
.
After our reading we found out that much of the controversy surrounded the murder of Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and finding his killers. We discussed how both sides wanted pretty much the same thing but as Ali (ra) was in charge, he knew how best to deal with the situation. It definitely was a sad time for the Muslims - and what made things worse, we read up - was that there were rebels and hypocrites who were taking advantage of the disagreement and causing more problems! The whole lesson made a very interesting discussion. 
.
.
Both times the companions and Ali (ra) made peace or settled with peace in order to stop the bloodshed of fellow Muslims. 
.
Did you know about these Muslim civil wars? Full resources and planning coming soon iA

Just a reminder to be grateful for what you have - Just a reminder to be grateful for what you have - yes the grass always looks greener, but live in the present and count your blessings. Thank Allah for all that He is given you - your in a place of privilege compared to most. Don’t let Shaytan make you feel sorry for yourself - you have lots to be grateful for Alhamdulillah.
.
Begin and end your day with Alhamdulillah and allow Allah to increase you with more iA 😍
.
.
If you’re finding it difficult - start with a gratitude journal and list your daily blessings and feel the change within you - praise Allah often and moisten your tongue with his remembrance. 
.
.
May Allah bless you with the best of this world and the aakhirah Ameen

There’s something about starting a new exercise There’s something about starting a new exercise book that sends an excitement of a fresh start and a new beginning. The kids are always so motivated to do their best work on the first few pages too. 
.
And it had me wondering why wait for the new exercise book or new year even to get that feeling and motivation. Every month, week and day can be that new start and even within that if the day doesn’t start as planned, there’s still time to turn it all around - with a NEW INTENTION Alhamdulillah. So if you’ve had a wobbly start to the year, month, week or day - remind yourself you can start over - renew your intention, remember your why and say Bismillah!
.
.
We’ve been sorting and sifting through our stuff since we’ve come back to UK 🇬🇧- starting with a new topic soon but wanted to get ahead with some daily learning including some easy activities I’ve prepared in their new books especially as we are working towards the girls becoming more independent and responsible for their learning. 
.
Swipe to see a little of Ammarah’s independent writing of life in Makkah Alhamdulillah - (although we did work through breaking down the paragraphs) exercise books which I highly recommend are from @bm_stores UK 🇬🇧 - durable and long lasting (and the covers haven’t fallen off so far) Alhamdulillah, we’ve been using these throughout our homeschool journey!
.
.
How are you encouraging your children to become independent learners- what systems have you put in place if any? Share below - Our weekly planners are definitely a hit in our homeschool 👌

Reward charts, points for the team, stickers, smil Reward charts, points for the team, stickers, smiley faces, medals, certificates, praise, treats - kids love it! 😁
.
Bonuses, free coupons, discount codes, Tax returns and loyalty points or freebies, compliments, likes and shares - works on us too! 😄
.
My girls love seeing their maths books marked and ticked (sometimes I’m lazy about it - guilty) and mostly love getting their correct answer and perfect score. But over time as I’ve challenged them, I’ve said it’s not about the answer as much (ok sometimes it is) it’s all about how you got there! 
.
As the girls are older now, there is on some days a little more motivation required to get that Homeed routine in full swing. Getting through the daily tasks or even sitting and opening a work book is all determined by how you start your day. 
.
A good morning routine helps (obviously each day is different in homeschool) but I tend to find a good sleep the night before, wake earlier, a good breakfast, some time for play and then an outline of the day and what’s happening works nicely for us. We also usually start with Quran - just gets us into routine immediately Alhamdulillah. 
.
But I’ve needed more and so adopted a virtual sticker chart (created on Canva) idea taken from their Quran teacher @mar_fizzler 😄 probably why they enjoy the lessons too - and we focussed on attitude, effort and achievement to learning more than just the end result solely - after 12 stickers (they’ve really got to work hard to earn them 😅😂) the girls get a surprise treat - last time it was toys on our trip to Dubai - this time I’m hoping it’s a day out instead! 
.
What kind of reward system do you have in your home? Whether you homeschool or not? What’s working for you? Would love to hear more below 😅

We looked back at the family tree of the Prophet M We looked back at the family tree of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to look at the relationship with the 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra).
.
It was of course a great recap of the Seerah too and a look at how Ali (ra) also married Fatima (ra), daughter of Prophet (pbuh) and the children they had.

This cut and stick activity is Available to purchase in our shop separately - www.mamateachesme.com - will be sold as part of the The Great Caliphs Resource pack too

The 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) . Continuing The 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra)
.
Continuing the final of the 4 Great Caliphs - we looked at the cousin of the Prophet (pbuh) Ali (ra) who was the first child to become Muslim. He grew up in the household of the Prophet (pbuh), he became son in law of the Prophet (pbuh) and was appointed some important and significant tasks during the life of the Prophet (pbuh).
.
Ali (ra) was given the task to return everyone’s money and goods that were kept in the care of the Prophet (pbuh) when he migrated to Madinah. He also lay asleep in the Prophet’s (pbuh) bed when the plot was to kill the Prophet (pbuh) - instead they found Ali (ra). 
.
We also calculated that Ali (ra) was 30 years younger than the Prophet (pbuh) so he was only about 10 when revelation came to the Prophet (pbuh) at age 40. 
.
Stay tuned for the other lessons - will be sharing the full resource pack and plans very soon iA

Since our learning on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and hi Since our learning on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and his amazing sadaqah jaariyah opportunities in Madinah, it reminded me of a sadaqah jaariyah project you can donate to in Makkah. 
.
Whilst on our travels to the Haram we discovered this place in the Clock Tower, ground Floor - straight ahead and on your left hand side as you enter through the main doors of the Clock Tower. 
.
It’s called Gayth. A small booth for donating money to charity and the poor in Makkah especially. You can also pay towards an Aqiqah, kaffarah, fidya (including for anything you may have done wrong during your Umrah etc ie not entered Makkah in Ihram for example) 
.
As the girls now receive pocket money, they both decided they wanted to donate towards a waqf project helping orphans and poor people in Makkah last year - a beautiful sadaqah jaariyah opportunity in Makkah Alhamdulillah. I had told them it adds barakah to their pocket money so they wanted to donate- Swipe to see more including their excitement to see their name on the receipt and to be a part of this project in Makkah 😌
.
Thought I’d share for those travelling for Umrah so you don’t miss out on this opportunity especially if you wanted to donate zakat or sadaqah too - they take cash or card at the booth or you can donate online https://ghaith.org.sa/ (the website is in Arabic) 
.
.
SAVE this post for your next visit or share with family or friends visiting!

Are you often looking for new or different sadaqah jaariyah opportunities? How are you building for your Aakhirah?

“What do you mean Uthman ibn Affan was murdered? “What do you mean Uthman ibn Affan was murdered?” Was the reaction my eldest had to this final lesson on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) “Why would they murder the caliph?” She questioned - and rightly so.
.
And that’s exactly what we set out to explore. What events actually led to the murder of the 3rd Caliph? It was sad to read that a companion so close to the Prophet (pbuh) being his son in law twice and one of the 10 promised Jannah would be murdered. 
.
You can zoom into to read Ammarah’s findings but essentially when we discussed what had happened, we said some Muslims had become greedy. Greedy for land, power and money. It actually became a sad lesson by the end, especially when we saw how Uthman ibn Affan (ra) didn’t use force with the rebels so not to be the one who starts a civil war amongst the Muslims 😞 but then he was brutally murdered in his own home whilst reciting Quran - subhanAllah. 
.
To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. 
.

Follow along for the last few lessons on the 4th Caliph as we share and post this week!

From the desert heat to the colder climate of the UK, always fascinated by Allah’s creation and blessings upon us Alhamdulillah.

Lesson 4 - The timeline of events in the life and Lesson 4 - The timeline of events in the life and rule of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). 
.
Cyprus was conquered and other areas of Norther Africa the Islamic rule was solidified and the rebellion crushed in Armenia and Azerbaijan - this was just some of the victories in the time of Uthman (ra) becoming Caliph. Also, the first Muslim Navy was established and the Quran standardised into one script. There was much wealth and prosperity but sadly some who weren’t happy with the rule of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). 
.
Ammarah was shocked to read that the 3rd Caliph was murdered in Madinah in his home whilst reciting Quran. What a sad state of affairs subhanAllah. 😞

We concluded the lesson by adding our timeline to our display wall.

Lesson 3 - with the spread of Islam so far and wid Lesson 3 - with the spread of Islam so far and wide, there was a need to standardise the Quran for the purpose of reciting and so began the start of a written version of the Quran and including fatha, dharma and kasra- which were actually marked by dots. We got to explore Kufic script in detail and close up and thoroughly enjoyed looking at the difference and similarities between the script back then to how it is now. 
.
We found out that a committee of senior Sahaabah were given this task including the original scribe from time of the Abu Bakr’s (ra) Caliphate, Zaid ibn Thabit (ra) and others were appointed for this task. The original text that was collated and compiled into a book was in the possession of Hafsa bint Umar ibn al Khattab (ra). It was used as the base for this written standardised version. The Quran was then recited 3 times in front of Hufaadh (those who had memorised the Quran) included Uthman ibn Affan (ra) to double check it’s accuracy. 
.
Alhamdulillah as we know Allah Himself tells us - ‘’We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). (Al-Hijr –Stone land-:9) Allah has promised us that He himself will preserve the Quran and protect it. 
.
Absolutely amazing that Uthman ibn Affan (ra) was honoured with this noble task. It’s absolutely amazing to have this miracle of the Preservation of the Quran and the fact that it is still a book that is read widely and memorised widely even today Alhamdulillah!
