First Parent Meeting in Year 3

This evening was a parent meeting at my daughter's school. I didn't go to that meeting because I needed to take my daughter to the Masjid learning and reciting Qur'an. So my husband and I shared the duties, I took my daughter to Islamic School while my husband was meeting with the teacher.

I gave an advice to my husband to bring small note which were question lists on it so he could ask to teacher as much as possible about our daughter's progress because usually the parent meeting time is short maybe about 5 or 10 minutes for each parent . But, unfortunately my husband forgot it, he left the list on his bed. I little bit worried.

Twenty minutes later, my husband came with a piece of paper in his hand, that was a small report about Ara's assessment. I read it and little bit confused about the numbers and the alphabets on it. There were 3C for Reading, 3C for Writing, and 2A for Maths. I always forgot what was that mean, even this was not my first time receiving Ara's report. All the information mixed up in my head.

So I started to google about that. And I found this information, check it bellow:

YEAR 3

National Curriculum Level Comparison with National Expectation

• Level 1 or below that's mean Below national expectation
• 2c/2b that's mean Working towards national expectation
• 2a/3c that's mean In line with national expectation
• 3b/3a/4c that's mean Above national expectation
• A good level 4 that's mean Significantly above national expectation 

Those informations make me understand, and I don't need to worry about my daughter's report. What I need to do are keeping her good work and giving help especially in her numeracy. Her teacher said that everything was fine and Ara was one of good student in the class so we don't need too much worry about her. Alhamdulillah.

Ayat hari ini:

Surat At-Takasur (Bermegah-megah) ayat 1-5

1. Bermegah-megahan telah melalaikan kamu,
2. sampai kamu masuk ke dalam kubur.
3. Sekali-kali tidak! Kelak kamu akan mengetahui (akibat perbuatanmu itu),
4. kemudian sekali-kali tidak! Kelak kamu akan mengetahui.
5. Sekali-kali tidak! Sekiranya kamu mengetahui dengan pasti,

Takut Nyasar.... :-(

Ya Allah besok adalah hari pertama saya kursus Bahasa Inggris di Action Language. Mohon pertunjuk Ya Allah, saya nervous, bukan dengan kursusnya tapi saya takut nyasar. Tempatnya jauh sekali (menurut saya), dan besok adalah yang kedua kalinya saya ke sana. yang pertama dulu waktu assessment, diantar suami dan anak, jadi jalannya sambil melenggang, plus sambil berusaha mengamat-amati jalan biar petanya masuk ke kepala.

Maklum selama ini saya tidak tahu arah, tahunya cuma kiri atau kanan saja. Jadi menurut saya belokan di jalan itu cuma ada saja, kalau ndak belok kiri ya ke kanan, sudah ndak pengaruh lagi timur, selatan, ataupun barat.

Kemampuan saya untuk menghafal jalan sangatlah kurang bisa diandalkan, buktinya sampai sekarang saya belum hafal kalau disuruh muter-muter sendiri ke city centre. Saya masih merengek minta diantar suami, sambil merajuk ala lagunya Bang Rhoma "Merajuk" yang salah satu bunyi bait lagunya "Kalau merajuk nanti keluar tanduk". Pisang kali tanduk :-p

Kalau berangkatnya insyaAllah masih ingat, setelah turun dari bis, suami mengingatkan untuk lurus saja ke depan mengikuti jalan besar, tidak perlu berbelok ke sana kemari. Nah pulangnya yang agak bingung, naik taxi aja apa ya....?

Tadi sih sempat digambar sama suami peta jalan pulang pakai spidol warna orange di kertas coret-coretan, petunjuknya juga simpel, cuma belok ke kanan di gang yang kedua atau yang ketiga, terus lurus sampai ketemu monumen yang biasanya bis 39 / 40 mangkal.

Bismillah semoga besok dimudahkan Allah, amin.

Making a Birthday Card

Made by Ara

Two weeks ago was my daughter's birthday. I didn't give her any card, my husband either. But we gave her a present.

Actually she was okay even we didn't give her a birthday card because she was happy enough with present. She played with her present all day long, and she kept it well.

Several days ago, my daughter and I went to one of my friend's house. My friend has an electric sewing machine, and I wanted to learn how to sew using sewing machine.

While I learned how to sew, my daughter and my friend was making craft with many kind of colourful papers, buttons, stickers, glitters and many more. She decided to make a birthday card for herself and pretend that this card was from me. That's why she wrote the sender was "mama".

She felt very happy with her card. My friend gave her some ideas. My friend also made her a beautiful birthday card. She really loved it.

Note From Ara

"A girl called Miya was alone, but she still happy because she has her mum."

One day, when I cleaned up my house, I found this letter on a table, this was from my daughter that I didn't notice before. I read it and I felt sad about the story. I wondered if this very short story was about someone. I asked my daughter and she said "The girl is actually me, Mum".

I'm a bit more sad hearing his explanation. I wanted to know more about her feelings, about why she felt alone, was it about school or anything else. She said that she was okay at school, she got a lot of friends, but at home she only can played by herself, no one came to our house and played with her, or she couldn't play outside with a friend. Oh.... I felt relief that time. I thought she has been bullied at school or somebody was meant to her. Alhamdulillah.

Usually when she stays at home, she plays with me or her father. She wants a sibling, so she can play with. But she wants a big brother or a big sister, she doesn't want a younger sister or brother. That make me and my husband have no idea.

Do I Need a New Skipping Rope?

Several weeks ago, Skipping Man came to my daughter's school. I didn't know who skipping man was. but then my daughter told me about him. Skipping man was a man that very good at skipping, using his shiny brand new skipping rope he taught the students how to skip. My daughter was very exciting, she impressed about how he did skipping.

Back from school, my daughter took her skipping rope. She showed me how to do skip just like the skipping man did. After that, she asked me to buy her a new skipping rope from that man. "The rope is very good Mum, it's shiny. I think I need a new one so I can do better in skipping, please....." asked Ara to me. "How much is it?", I asked. "It's only £5.00", she answered. "What??! Oh no...it's too expensive for a skipping rope. You already got 3 ropes", I said. "But Mum, I can do better", she kept asking me. "You don't need a new rope, you just need a lot of practices so you can do better". She little bit upset, but I didn't worry about that.

Then, she played skipping again, she asked me to count how many she skipped. She also asked me to let her bring a skipping rope to her school so she can practice and play with her friends. "Yeah, that's fine as long as you can responsible with your stuffs" I said. "Okay Mum".

Ara in a blurry...... :-p
