Ramadan coming to a close, and au revoir!

Weeks 32,33,34 and 35 have flown and Ramadan sadly is almost over!
Eid is day after tomorrow inshaALlah.

Boys mashaAllah have had an excellent Ramadan - all fasting, all racing for Quran Challenge, and all made Tarawee and night prayers most of the time, alhumdulilla.
May Allah accept all their ibadah ameen and may He SWT guide them and bless them always, ameen.

This year the baby/infant/child years have definetly gone!
They are all older now and doing so much more mashaALlah!

and because of that it's been a wonderful Ramadan - alhumdulilla.
May Allah accept all the good deeds of all believers, ameen

Islamic Studies went mainly to plan though some of the reading and workbooks will be completed over the next few weeks! Think I was a little ambitious in the planning!!

OK what else have we done?

Week 32 was the visit to the IMAX at Waterloo for Ibn Battuta -
the boys were read his stories when they were younger at bedtime!

Week 33 was busy for DS2 as he attended the FunTech Lego Robotics Camp.
























































Spent some time down some of our favourite Parks!











































Ds2's exam results came in and mashaAllah alhumdulilla our 12 year old now has an A/S Level Mathematics qualification and is enroute to completing the A Level inshaAllah
plus he now has his third IGCSE (English) alhumdulilla.

Ds1, just turned 17, is mashaAllah leaving for University in a couple of days inshaAllah
- may Allah protect him always, ameen.

In some ways his leaving seems to have brung our home ed to a close because in many ways 'mum' as 'teacher/facilitator' is now redundant!
DS2 and DS3 still need that in smaller doses but I think ds2 is going to be set on his route soon alhumdulilla and ds3 is happy with the online facilities!
Quran and Islamic Studies will continue on family schedule inshaAllah.

BUT knowing home ed I know that can change within a week so we need to keep that in mind too, lol!

Alhumdulilla we have managed to get this far.
Allah SWT has blessed us in letting us find Home Education and mashaAllah also enabling us to be successful in it.


This blog may go into standby now as it's original reason for being (the Arabic in Egypt) and it's secondary reason (the EOTAS lady) are not essential any more.
The Arabic maybe a venture we return to - inshaALlah I hope we do, but this time for a minimum of 6 months preferably a year!
The record for EOTAS -- well think we've met that on all fronts, alhumdulilla.



Blog will be left here and inshaAllah people can use ideas from it but I probably won't bother with many further updates -

alhumdulilla we know home ed works!
