Step-by-Step Yr 1 Plan -Stories from Other Cultures

Year 1 Literacy Unit

year 1, culutural stories

This is the second of our Literacy Themes for Year 1. To see our Year 1 Fairy Tale Theme – click here. We tied in this Literacy unit with Black History Month. We chose a range of stories including, Mama Panya’s Pancakes, a traditional take from Malaysia called ‘The Crocodile King, ‘ and Bismillah Soup. We also tied in our Islamic Studies and covered the story of the Prophet’s (pbuh) companion Bilal and the story of Prophet Dawud (as). You can also include a range of other stories such as Handa’s Surprise,  Nusaiba and the 5th grade bullies and so many more – Let us know in the comments any others your would suggest. Anyway, here’s what we did:

  •  
  •  stories from other cultures

 

 

Week 1: Black History Month

As we began this unit in the month of October, we wanted to combine our story with Black History Month and Islamic Studies. We chose to focus on the story of the Prophet Muhammad’s faithful companion Bilal (ra), also the first muezzin (one who calls to prayer) in Islam. Whilst there are many prominent Black figures in Islamic history, we chose to focus on Bilal (ra) as it was very close to home here in Makkah and a prominent story we could begin with as we were talking about Black History Month for the first time. For our children we wanted to keep the story quite simple an on my search for books online, I barely found any that were aimed for young children, so I created my own. I drew out some pictures on the ipad procreate app and put together the text.

Update – you can now purchase your new updated version of this story here. 

Day 1: I introduced the story to my girls and we discussed some of the issues that came up straight away. For example, what a slave is, why was he being punished? what is a muazzin etc. This is the time to discuss the book, thinking about how Allah made us all equal no matter what colour we are. We cannot think we are better than others because of the colour of our skin. We spoke loads about how we treat others too. 

Day 2: We used the pictures I had created to sequence the story in order the next day. We discussed what the story was about and thought some more of what happened in the beginning, middle and end. This is a great way of recapping a story without simply reading it again and again. Allow children to really interact with the story, so story sequences are a great way to discuss what happened. 

Day 3: We wanted to look into more detail at the character of Bilal (ra) so this time we looked back at the book and looked at how he was described, what he did and how we reacted and what we could tell about his character. Discuss his character, write the key words out for the children and allow them to write sentences. 

Day 4: We looked back at another version of the story which focuses on the characters of Abu Bakr and Umayya ibn Khalaf. We discussed their similarities and differences. If you have time you can write a sentence each or leave it as a discussion. It was interesting to note that both men were rich which my eldest pointed out, but Abu Bakr was generous with his money whereas Umayya was greedy and mean. 

 

Week 2: Mama Panya’s Pancakes

We focussed mainly on this story this week but my youngest really wanted to make some Bismillah Soup so we managed to squeeze from crafts for her and even attempted to make some of the soup! Here’s what we did this week.

  •  bismillah soup

Day 1: We started by reading the story of Mama Panya’s Pancakes. We discussed the story briefly. I asked the girls what they enjoyed most (this is one of their favourite books). We looked back at the story and wrote a shopping list of what Mama Panya bought from the market.

Day 2: We looked back at the story and this time we looked at all the people that Adika invited and wrote a list. I explained that we should help Adika make some invitations and we spoke about the important information needed when writing invitations: time, date, the place, who you are inviting and who its from! Model writing an invitation to one of the characters on the board first, the girls got the idea and were able to write by themselves and decorate the invitation in the end.

Day 3: We looked back at the story again today and focused on the setting of the story. My 5 year old was always intrigued by the fact that they were barefoot in some of the pictures. The story is lovely as it shares facts about village life in Kenya. We read up on village life in Kenya and decided to  make a mix-medium craft of the Adika’s village using using string, sand and oil pastels. Below the girls were also blog printing some fabric to wear at their own Pancakes picnic!

 

Day 4: The book also contains Mama Panya’s Pancake recipe at he back and we had to make some. So we left this day until last – but you can easily start this book by following the recipe to make the pancakes. The girls really enjoyed this hands on lesson and choosing their toppings to fill their pancake. For older kids you could even ask them to remember the steps and write up the recipe at the end.

Week 3: The King of the Crocodiles

This is a story from my Malaysian folk tales for children book that we picked up on our holiday to Malaysia – more on that here. The girls absolutely love this story and were so curious about the ending and morals we could learn. Here’s what we did each day:

  • crocodiles, malaysian stories

Day 1 & 2: We started by reading the story ‘The King of the Crocodiles.’ It was a fairly long story with some rich language so there was lots of discussion. We then decided to sequence the story but this time in text – as the story was sectioned in 2 parts. I rewrote parts of the story in simple English for the girls to be able to understand. They read the different parts of the story and put it into order. The next day we did the same with the second part of the story and drew some pictures in the end. The girls also made a crocodile weave craft!

  • crocodile weave, comprehension

Day 3: We focused a little on understanding the story through our introduction to comprehension questions. This meant lots of discussion and looking back at the simple text of the story now in their books. 

Day 4: By the final day of the week, we discussed the moral of the story some more thinking about the lessons we could learn from the end of the story. 

 

Week 4: The story of Prophet Dawud (as)

In our final week on Stories from other cultures, we wanted to included an Islamic Story but more so one of the stories of the Prophets as a narrative in our literacy session, not just something we look at in Islamic Studies sessions. This followed on perfectly from the previous story about morals and teachings, as we know the stories of the Prophets from the Quran are for us to learn lessons from. 

  • David and Goliath, Prophet Dawud

Day 1: We read the story of Prophet Dawud (as) from Zanib Mian’s book ‘Migo & Ali: Love for the Prophets.’ We discussed the story about the brave boy Dawud and the huge giant Goliath or Galut (in Arabic). We focused on description and speaking about the story today. We followed up by making our own slingshot like Prophet Dawud had used. We scrunched up little pieces of paper for it. We also spoke about the safety of using a slingshot as it could hurt someone as it hurt the giant. 

  • Prophet DAWUD, david, goliath, sling, slingshot

Day 2: We described the character of Prophet Dawud (as) in a spider diagram, choosing words from the story to help us – this also meant we looked at the story in the book again. We wrote some simple sentences.

Day 3: We looked further at the character of Galut as described in the story. We made another spider diagram and used describing words. We spoke of the differences between Prophet Dawud (as) and Galut. 

Day 4: On the final day we discussed the morals of the story and listened to the verses in the Quran. We also wrote up the story in our Prophets of Islam Time line book – another project we are working on slowly.

DAVID, GOLIATH, prophet Dawud

 

So this was how we taught the literacy unit Stories from other cultures and made it into a theme that fit with stories we wanted to read ourselves, including stories from Islamic History and culture, stories from Africa and Malaysia. I hope this has been useful for anyone looking at ways in which to teach stories from other cultures. Again all our children work at their own paces and style of learning, so what works for us may or may not work for you. If you have any questions or suggestions on other books that would fit into this theme, feel free to comment below 🙂

We’ve been sorting rocks into their different gr We’ve been sorting rocks into their different groups, using rocks in maths, weighing rocks and finding out about their properties- swipe to see a glimpse of our activities. 
.
.
I also showed the girls my personal collection of rocks which to me have always been fascinating. I showed them rocks we collected together 5 years ago in UAE 🇦🇪. Rocks I collected from Mt Sinai Egypt 🇪🇬 and even rocks collected from the Dead Sea in Palestine/Israel. I had forgotten how fascinated I was by rocks when I was little all the way into my 20s - but I couldn’t for the life of me remember how they were formed 🙈 more coming up in our next post 😉 That’s the most fascinating thing about homeschooling, you are constantly learning or revising knowledge alongside your children - whilst we try to ignite that spark for learning in our children we relight our own flame too 🔥 
.
.
Do you or your children collect rocks? Do you have a rock collection too?

When I began thinking about this topic, the first When I began thinking about this topic, the first thing I thought is where am I going to find the different types and kinds of rocks 🪨 🙈 Thank God for Amazon, after a quick search online I found the perfect resource I needed. This rock science kit contains all types of rocks- igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks along with a magnifying glass. All the rocks are numbered so you can use the key in the leaflet to figure out which is which! 
.
The girls quickly deciding their fave rocks especially after finding out more about them - fab resource highly recommend if you are learning about rocks.

Our book and resource collection for our topic on Our book and resource collection for our topic on the Natural World. 
.
With libraries still closed we turned to Amazon for some book titles and picked the @natgeokidsuk books knowing they would have good pics and easy language. We also purchased some experiment packs as well (ideally would have loved to have taken them to the museum for this but hopefully in the spring iA) not every topic we do gets this budget but this one needed it because it would have been boring without all this (for me especially) we are enjoying a mix between practical, written, discussion work. 
.
Swipe to see more. Will be sharing how we’ve used the resources 
.
.
.
Are you missing the libraries too? Do you find your actually creating your own mini library at home?

The Natural World - our topic on Rocks, Volcanoes, The Natural World - our topic on Rocks, Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Weather! 
.
We are a week into our topic and surprisingly enjoying it - it’s a topic I rarely remember studying at school although I was BIG on collecting rocks when I was little all the way through to my 20s 🙈 (I showed the girls my rock collection - rocks picked up in Egypt from Mount Sinai and Rocks from the Dead Sea in Palestine/Israel. The girls are really enjoying it and so am I - interest and enthusiasm to learn is huge in our learning journey and sometimes it needs to be created by doing something differently. I’ve tried to make this quite a hands on study thanks to the fun activities by @natgeokidsuk and will be sharing more of what we are using and how relevant they are to our topic. 
.
In the mean time I leave you with my Unit Study mind map of the areas we are looking into in this particular topic. We plan to tie in some relevant Islamic Studies stories too. Save for when you plan to teach this topic too!

Have you taught this topic to your children? Did you enjoy it as much as they did?  .

It’s the start of 2021 and it’s lockdown in En It’s the start of 2021 and it’s lockdown in England - no real change from last year. No doubt it’s a difficult time for some and frustrating for others, life threatening and an uncertain time too. May Allah make it easy for us All Ameen. 
.
.
However the consistency in the small things in our lives will keep us going. As we are reminded in a Hadith “Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly even if they are few.” So whether it’s using pockets of time for Quran, dhikr, learning about our faith through stories or just taking some time to reflect and journal and make dua. Find some time for yourself mamas- we need it! 
.
.
Use this opportunity (whilst our children are at home) to connect with them some more through pockets of meaningful time spent together with love and kindness. Read stories together, bake a cake, go for walks, play boardgames, reorganise a bookshelf or room together (if they enjoy that kind of thing with you), plan your spring garden and research around the plants or seeds you need, play hide and seek, have a film night together, pray together and just cherish the moments (even though it may get tough) You got this! 
.
.
Pictured - here’s something my girls enjoyed doing with me recently- we ordered some rainbow trays (we checked if we had enough space for these) and a pull out stationary trolley (still working on organising that) - made space for a few more books and just enjoyed our new additions to the playroom. Alhamdulillah ❤️

Another of the miracles given to Prophet Eesa (as) Another of the miracles given to Prophet Eesa (as) and his followers was the table spread from Jannah - as mentioned in Surah Maaidah in the Quran. “The son of Mary said, ‘Oh Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers.’ (Quran 5:114) 
.
The girls and I imagined what delicious food may have been sent from heaven. To follow up we designed our own table cloth using ribbons. The girls then added plates and even some fruit. 
.
Ideally we did want to invite our friends or family for a feast of our own with our own table spread but due to tier 3 and 4 restrictions we were unable to. So swipe to see a dinner we did for the newly weds a month before.

What did Prophet Eesa (as) say? . There are many What did Prophet Eesa (as) say? 
.
There are many references to Prophet Eesa Ibn Maryam (as) or Jesus, Son of Mary in the Quran. We became especially curious about what he said, so we focused on those verses. As a student of comparative religion I remember having discussions with Christian friends and acquaintances, visiting the church and taking part in comparative religions discussion at the British Library (inter-faith dialogue) Each of us went back to our scriptures to clarify our points. 
.
.
And just like that throughout our learning we love looking back through the Quran as a reference point of what Allah is teaching us. Of course the Quran verses need to be accompanied with further details through tafseer and hadith/Seerah books. 
.
.
My eldest and I read through the verses where Prophet Eesa (as) spoke and discussed his teachings and message from the Islamic perspective. There are lots of similarities in the story of Jesus or Eesa (as) between Muslims and Christians but also a lot of major differences too. 
.
.
So here’s something for all my non-Muslims friends who were ever curious as to find out about Jesus in the Quran or from the Islamic perspective 😊
