Zaki travels to London

Zaki travels to London






We called a mini - bus,



We weren't acting like a wuss,






I took a train to Manchester Victoria,



Of course, there's something boringer!






There's a metrolink to Piccadilly,



This is nothing to do with Billy,






Now, it is a third train,



It's cloudy nor foggy nor rain.

Solar Powered machinery

As part of science, my son built a solar powered windmill and something else, which I am not sure of. We bought it from curiousminds.co.uk...

RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms

Science - Lava eruption

My sons attempted lava eruption... aaaaaah, did u see how much oil they used??




CRAZY, hey it worked!!



They used water with red food colouring with lots of oil (Hmmm, I did tell them to use the used oil from the wok, but never mind that's life!). In they popped a Vitamin C effervescent tablet!!




Cool Huh?

Imperial War Museum, London


IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM LONDON





On our visit to the Imperial war Museum in London, we watch a black and white movie about the Blitz, experienced the stench of the trench and checked out all the exhibits in the Museum and even experienced life in a submarine...


Hey, check it out, they even had cornflakes...

Urdu numbers and words


We have been learning Urdu numbers and words. Today, we made a book about them...


Playsript and Plays

As part of our literacy lesson, the boys were learning about play writing. We decided to write scenes from children's books and then make a video based on the scene and this is what they came up with...
Usamah wrote his script based on the book "Peace at last". He added his own humour and came up with this idea...

Umar wrote his scene based on a scene from "Badness for beginners"

And this is how it ended up...


This is Zaki's interpretation of the book "Aaaah said stork"

And his video...

The Sea Poem

The Sea Poem


Once A Man Was On His Boat

The Ride Was So Bumpy Off Fell His Coat



The Tsunami Hit The Land

The Wounded Took the Band



The Man Swam Away

He Will Have To Use His Money To Pay



He Flew To Asia

There He Got a Razor



He Cut His Hair

Till It Is rare
