Assalammualaikum w.b.t
One of our Ramadhan Project this time is to grow our own plant in the house. What is so important for teaching them about planting?
Well,basically children can learn new skills, have fun, play and develop
self-confidence by spending time tending plants and
growing their own food. Most children enjoy being outdoors and love
digging in the soil, getting dirty, creating things and watching plants
grow.
Children learn from growing things
children in particular will
have lots of fun and gain special benefits. Gardening is educational and
develops new skills including:
- Responsibility – from caring for plants
- Understanding – as they learn about cause and effect (for example, plants die without water, weeds compete with plants)
- Self-confidence – from achieving their goals and enjoying the food they have grown
- Love of nature – a chance to learn about the outdoor environment in a safe and pleasant place
- Reasoning and discovery – learning about the science of plants, animals, weather, the environment, nutrition and simple construction
- Physical activity – doing something fun and productive
- Cooperation – including shared play activity and teamwork
- Creativity – finding new and exciting ways to grow food
- Nutrition – learning about where fresh food comes from.
As a muslim, we have Al-Quran as guidance and during this blessed month let's us really study the Quran and try as much as possible to relate any ayah with our activities. ALLAH S.W.T talk to usin Surah Al-An'aam :
And He it is Who sends down
water from the cloud, then We bring forth with it buds of all (plants), then We
bring forth from it green (foliage) from which We produce grain piled up (in
the ear); and of the palm-tree, of the sheaths of it, come forth clusters (of
dates) within reach, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, alike
and unlike; behold the fruit of it when it yields the fruit and the ripening of
it; most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe. [6-99]
Apart from that, we had learn two of ALLAH S.W.T's names from Asmaul Husna and explained it to my daughter.
The names is :
1) Al-Aleem = The All Knowing
Only ALLAH S.W.T knows what is really inside the soil and seed. How he made it and yes! He knows everything and we don't.
2) Al-Khaliq = The Creator
ALLAH S.W.T creates everything in this universe. From the biggest until the smallest things. He creates the leaves, root, soil, seed, the color of the plants and extra.
