No Girls Allowed

 
Last week the Book Worm Club Members listened to a story about the Berenstain Bears. Sister bear enjoys playing with Brother Bear and his friends and very quickly proves to be better at their games than they are, what really annoys them is how she gloats when she wins. The boys take action by setting up a only boy club; No Girls Allowed !This seems really unfair and Sister Bear feels very hurt, but with the help of Mama Bear and Papa Bear, Sister Bear not only finds a way to cope, but makes some more friends and makes the boys realize that sisters are a blessing too!

 Following the story all the brothers and sisters of the Book Club divided into groups and were allowed to rummage through the Pirani household to gather things to set up their own 'shelters'. These were supposed to provide a comfortable shelter nook for our 3 year old members to be able to get into and out of with out the shelter collapsing. Alhumdulillah the little girls (Hafsa Irfan, with her side kick Hibatullah were quick and did a very neat job, Masha'Allah.

The boys needed a little help from Safaa Aunty and eventually manged to put the following together.:

After the shelters were made and tested, Lubna Aunty carried out a demonstration to explain how volcanic islands are made (refer to Volatile Volcanoes  http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6031488757069918746#editor/target=post;postID=3480496433320033777). The demo showed how hot, bubbling semi liquid lava can cool and harden to become an island.
