Samir its amazing to see how far you have come.

When you first joined in the An-Nur

community you were such an active and energetic boy who didnt know how to stop and listen.
May be the main reason was you couldnt communicate with the teachers because you didnt
know any English and the teachers didnt know your language. MashaAllah the hard time has
passed and you have grown so much. You can speak in English and make your teacher
understand you just about anything. Your communication skills are improving rapidly. Although
you still talk to your closest friends in Arabic, you are learning new words everyday and dont
hesitate to use those.
Samir you are still the same energetic boy, however I am happy to see you are using some of
your energy to explore the learning experiences. You are lucky to have Amer as your best friend.
You two are always engaged on learning activities together. A few photos I have added in this
learning story can prove that you two take the opportunities to work and learn together. Working
together also gives you the opportunity to practice social skills, problem solving skills and build a
good relationship.

Samir, It was great to see the way you are working and learning together with Amer and
communicating ideas. Social competence develop when children are Happy in their work.
Happiness helps children to be healthy mind, body and soul which is also connected to our
term theme for term one, 2017
