Furqan is now well settled in An-Nur environment.

He has established a good relationship with

all the children and teachers. He knows the routines and rules in our classroom. He has been ex-
ploring all the learning areas in our classroom. We have a shelf with Montessori practical life
activities. Furqan love doing all those activities. Every morning he involved himself with all
those activities one after another. Furqan likes the activity - sieving the flour. The activity in-
cludes a big bowlful of flour mixed with grain. The children has to sieve the flour to separated
the grain and put the grain in another bowl. It is a very popular activity. All the children love
doing this activity.
Furqan has very good concentration. He is an extraordinary artist, he can spend an hour to col-
our a picture to perfection, that nobody in our class ever able to do that. I have noticed that when
Furqan concentred on colouring, he can sit in a noisy room and do that, nothing would disturb
him. He likes to use scissors often and developing his scissors skills and hand-eye co-ordination.

What next?
We will make sure that Furqan get the oppor-
tunities to develop his skills further.
We will provide learning experiences to meet
his individual needs.
Make sure he increases his art skills without
disruption by other children

In our An-Nur Child Care centre
children have opportunities to do
practical life activities. Practical life
activities are those activities which
people normally do in using and
maintaining the home environment,
e.g carring a tray with objects in it,
pouring, spooning, using tongs etc.
Most important and interesting ac-
tivity in our classroom is preparing
fruit for morning tea.
Forqan shows keen interest in pre-
paring fruit for morning tea. When
Furqan sees fruit in the table ready
to be cut or when I asked, Who
would like to cut fruit today? Very
often he come and say, I want to.
He knows that we have to wash our
hands before we prepare fruit. So he
washes his hands without I asked
him to do so. Furqan knows how to
hold a knife with one hand and
make a tunnel with other hand, so
that the knife can go inside the tun-
nel to slice the fruit. Sometimes he
pushes the knife with other hand
until the knife touches the chopping
board. He is getting better with the
tong. He understands now that
when he uses the tong sideways it
works batter than when he uses it
upwards.
Throughout this activity Furqan is learning to cut fruit, He is also increasing hand-eye co-ordination,
concrntration,, independence, learning how to handle a sharpe knife and developing ability to control
hand movement as he using a pair of tongs,
