Exploration/Mana Aotroa
Musa enjoys creating and solving problems
in play and exploring ideas through dramatic
play. Musas interest in things outside
himself has continued to expand. We support
his interests in different characters and giving
materials for imaginative play.

Musa is a very friendly and confident boy at

An-Nur. We are most focused on his positive
social strategies for negotiation and selfexpression. We will focus on how Allah likes
us to interact with others as taken from the
Islamic planning, and extend on his skills for
negotiation such as trading, setting use limits
etc. We already see this behaviour during
group sessions and with speaking to his
family want to encourage it further.
As always we will focus on his Arabic and
Islamic knowledge with Musa this term
joining the Islamic session on top of Quran.
