Farm theme this week

Ohhh had my first experience of joining a google meet class with the Celine's teacher in Belgium...This weeks theme is Farms..I loved the idea she had of a fun cartoon picture of a farmer on a milking stool milking a cow....The picture was hidden behind 6 coloured doors left-right-top- middle-bottom ..So the children ...remember from home in google meet had to choose a coloured door so together the picture revealed..Then my connection dropped..I think I messed up trying to screen captured this magic set of doors...Anyway I have emailed photos to the teacher of our busy bees yesterday following activities to make a cow..... Celine is 3yrs and love her concentration to complete the project...

Leen had a project to create a Lion face for her activity yesterday.. I think it would be useful for Boshra to have tablet or ipad or laptop for the girls to help with all this Google Meet and Zoom connecting... She is trying to work from her iphone... I love the technology of us all connecting, sharing learning and generating good ideas to adapt to the lockdown situation.    I continue to be well impressed with the schools in Oostende and the dedicate creative teachers... was sorry to have dropped my connection as was enjoying being with all! with this hearing Dutch to help me learn too.

Skype Jigsaw Play - fun

I have had the most fun time with Leen & Celine over skype with the Unicorn jigsaw I sent.  I had preworked it out here in Hayes so had some  photos as reference... But they managed to work it out together and was fun to see them engage as a team to complete the picture... So many words to learn from jigsaw puzzles and their pictures...... Leen understood to get the corners and the straight edges. But wow the power of the internet and able to connect and play me in Hayes and the girls in Oostende Belgium... Love this makes it special day for Family Link Up.... Shukran Allah for putting us together over the years.

Some vocabulary in English and Dutch below -  & Boshra can use Arabic as a target language too .. there is a lot from the puzzle to be gained including colours and even encouraging the girls to talk about it, describe and make up a story round the picture.  Good educational tool

Another busy Learn Share

Been another busy learn share week with not only activities from me but from the docent teacher in Oostende and a municipal pack too. Oostende well organised getting resources out to the children to ensure education input maintained during the lockdown.  Love the resources too as you much learning can be generated from the fun activities.   Sure has kept Leen & Celine engrossed and full of excitement to show me.   Look below love the finger pictures for painting nails as again reinforces my trick to open up Leens mind to 5 fingers each hand and 5x tables.  


Leen has been learning to write her meemie jeemies... Arabic letters so proud of her with all her language acquirement and foundation building to learn more.  She has the Dutch and English writing to develop too so you will see how when you scroll down how I have got a wipe clean workbook to practice alphabet and some words in English.  Not confusing but with fun can be learnt simultaneously...... making it fun is key to the success and so her logic mind can pick up on patterns and form.  I have been sharing maths activity book pages but with a plan to post them on over the next week for Boshra to work with the girls on maths fun... I can do quite a bit over skype but I so miss being with the girls to have fun time learning and sharing.  It is good when Boshra teams up with me and we can share in Arabic Dutch and English. 
 Another parcel arrived yesterday so there will me more on this in my next post, there is another jigsaw puzzle for them to do and I have shown my attempt as a reference point. 


Amy one of the neighbours from the next street that checks on me that I am OK in the lockdown has crochet rainbows and these are now with Leen and Celine in the parcel received yesterday. 
I have been linking up with the families in Turkey and Germany.  Below is a fast growing Mohammed on the roof top where the family were having a barbecue in readiness for breaking the days fast.  Adam in Germany had his 1st birthday party.  If you remember he was born just a few days before Archie, Prince Harry & Meghan's baby. 
I have been sorting out my garden and sharing photos with the family to help us feel connected and sharing one anothers lives. 


Below is a fun idea of creating a picture out of hand prints. It was in my facebook newsfeed so shown Boshra as the girls could have a go at this.... 
Below the wipe clean keep practising books for hand writing and maths these will be for the next parcel I compile. 
So pleased my Jasmine plant is bursting in flower.  Jasmine is the national flower of Syria and well loved by Syrians for the wonderful aroma.  There are several species but this is from last years Mother Day present my daughters bought me and it has flourished and adorns my front doorway.
