*TEACHER TRAINING @ AL IMAN INSTITUTE* *AUTISM BERKSHIRE* *TALKING SENCE ABOUT AUTISM* As part of Al Iman's initiative to provide islamic knowledge to a wide range of children, I attended the first of many courses to come, on Autism. The aim is to train myself and then pass down relevant training to my colleagues on how we can help children on the autism spectrum to have a better learning experience at our school. This is an area which unfortunately, we as a whole community are trying to come to terms with. We want to be able to raise awareness on how to recognise if there is an issue; leading to making life easy for the children on the spectrum at school. We are trying to bring in steps to integrate children with special needs by taking small steps in our classrooms. Examples of those steps will be: 》giving short and clear instructions 》making routines which are repeated in class 》using visual and sensory prompts 》making sure children are gradually timed off an activity with enough reminders. 》understanding the different needs and learning styles for children with autism and bringing those into practice. Insha'Allah this is just the beginning. We pray that Allah swt helps us through this journey and accepts our efforts. Ameen. *DR ATIYA ZAIDI* *AL IMAN INSTITUTE*

Alhamdulilah our end of Term Awards Ceremony for GRADES 1 & 2 on the 17th March and the Grades 3 to 6 on the 24th of March went very well on Saturday! We started off with recitation of Quran ul Kareem by brother Islam. He moved us with his amazing recitation and the children listened in such peace and awe. It was a sight indeed! As we progressed the children were so excited and happy with the rewards and prizes. This term we had 150 prizes to give away to our 1st, 2nd, 3rd winners and 7 runner up prizes per class. Everyone who participated in the Arts & Crafts competition got a small gift wether they won or not. The excitement in the hall was amazing! Every Grade recited one of the Surahs they had memorised that term. They also performed their nasheed for that term! We gave away hundreds of certificates! Many students achieved 100% Attendance amongst so many other achiements this term. Everyone had an amazing time. Everthing went to plan and we hope our invited guests and parents also had a great time. Please see a few pictures of the hall moments before it was full of parents, students and staff. Subhan'Allah! May Allah swt keep the noor of our beautiful deen forever in our children's hearts and minds. Wassalam.

Grade 6 girls Arabic 24/03/2018 We continued recitation of the Holy Quran and alhamdulillah read 15 pages as planned. The girls read meaning and tafseer of surah Taha. Ten frequent words of the Quran were discussed with their meanings. The main point of tajweed that we focused on today was the use of hamzatul wasl. Besides thisstudents were reminded to apply qalqalah, shaddah, correct strerching of madds and correct pronunciation of four letters.

Grade 5 Islamic studies 24/03/2018 Today we had a very short lesson due to the awards assembly. In our very short time we covered the very important topic of earing through halal means. The students were as always very enthused about the topic and provided excellent t participation. We discussed why we need to earn in the first place, what are halal and what are haraam means. In the end i told them a story of a man who met Moosa a.s.....the main idea of the story was rizq and barakah. I really tried to make the students realise that rizq(sustenance) is written and fixed for everyone but barakah (blessing and abundance) comes through our own deeds. When earned through halal means and spent the correct way Allah swt puts barakah in our wealth. The students were very attentive and enjoyed the story.
