9th meeting

Our today's story - "Papa Pride" by Kathy Mallat

Today, we had a quite special club meeting, because instead of Umm Uzair, the story today was told to us by Umm Zainab! As we sat down on the carpet, ready to listen to the story, Umm Zainab asked us some prompting questions about somebody, who loves us and cares for us, who is a male, who works all day long to earn money for us... and at that point, Uzair jumped up with the answer that it was our father.

"Papa Pride" was a book about a father-wolf and his little cubs. The story was told by the cubs and they were telling, how their papa cared for them, taught them all sorts of things, protected them from danger and played with them. The culbs were telling that their papa was loving them very dearly. The pictures in the book were very huge and beautiful!

After finishing the book, Umm Zainab invited us to make something special for our fathers, who loved us, so that we can show to them that we love them too. Thus, we set out to make beautiful cards for our fathers with our very own special messages in them. You can see below all the cards we made. Can you guess, which father will receive which? :)

Muadh's big and bright sun is shining over a huge green montain. His message to abbi is very clear: "I love you, father."



With bright yellow, blue and red colours, Hibatullah is sending love for her abbi. Together with Umm Zainab, she has gifted to her dearest abbi a beautiful poem - "Twinkle, twinkle, little star..."


Hafsa's card is overwhelmed by hearts and love that it is supposed to bring to her abba. In the midst of all the hearts, is Hafsa's whole family, standing outside of their home. If you look careful enough, you won't miss her message for her abba: "abba, ai, law, yu".


Isa has shown in his card his whole family - lots of people there with love (hearts) floating over them! His card has a very special message for his abbi - that he loves him more than his toys. Now, what can beat that?! :)


Zainab's card tells us of where her abbu works - she has a big blue university building in the background of happy herself. Her card is full of colourful hearts, which send lots of love to her father. With the help of her mother, she wrote that both her ammi and her abbu are very good.


Uzair made a happy scenery with him and abba enjoying lush green grass, beautifully bright sun and deep blue sky. As you can see it writtne in the card, he truly appreciates that abba always loves him.
