Goodbye Teacher Nur, Ain and Sofiyya!

Today was a very busy day full of celebrations and farewells. Teacher Nur as well as her daughters Ain and Sofiyya are leaving us to return home to Malaysia. Ain is almost five and we celebrated her graduation from An-Nur. This involved Ain wearing the special purple graduation gown, receiving her awards and a small gift for her continuing education at primary school. Although excited to have a party, the children were sad that they would not see their friends or teacher anymore. To celebrate and farewell we had a party at the childrens favorite place Chimpmunks! All of the children enjoyed playing with Ain as they ran and explored the different challenges at

Chimpmunks. The favorite was the giant blue bouncy slide, followed by the air guns which shoot foam balls. After playing the children enjoyed a beautiful cake Teacher Nur had prepared, and Ain gave out goodie bags to her classmates at the end of the party as she said her goodbyes. Farewell T. Nur, Ain and Sofiyya, you will all be missed! Teachers Voice: Today Sarah as part of our goodbye celebrations you demonstrated a range of learning dispositions in an unfamiliar setting. Although not our school, you took an interest and were involved the entire time at Chimpmunks! This is awesome to see Sarah, it shows us you feel safe, have a sense of belonging and know your teachers will meet your needs regardless of environment. You also made new connections between home, centre and the wider community during the commute, which will also help during this settling period. I observed you enjoying exploring a range of physical challenges, and will offer you experiences which will challenge your gross, fine motor and eye hand co-ordination as you gain more control and confidence over your body. -Teacher Natasha
