Monthly Themes
Ensuring each student is educated about significant dates in the Islamic calendar and various key historic events is important. Our monthly themes initiative connects the calendar month to the Islamic month and important events that happened in that month. The teachers allocate some time each week in that month to focus on the theme's topics. This may include sharing stories, creating posters/cards, preparing a role play for assembly and other activities. Assemblies will also be organised for some months focusing on the themes.
