Junior and Upper Primary

Assalamu alaikum,  

What a fabulous Term 3 Junior Primary and Upper Primary have had!  

Once again, in this unprecedented time, we cannot thank our parents enough for working with us to ensure we provide the best possible education and well-being support for the AIC Adelaide students.

Book Week 

On Thursday 26 of August, the Junior and Upper Primary students dressed up as their favourite book characters. Some student characters came from fiction books, some from non-fiction books and some from biographies. The Book Week assembly had a variety of programs which included the story of ‘Dear Zoo’ read in English and in Arabic followed by the SRC presenting on recycling, the Year 9’s and year 1’s project reading presentation, Islamic presentations on the ‘Noble Quran, the teachers play on the ‘Hare and Tortoise’ and the highlight being the announcement of the Art competition winners. The Book week celebration continued with the Scholastic book fair which found our students perplexed about what to buy as the variety was endless. 

Science Week

The Junior Primary conducted Science activities on the 18th of August. The Junior Primary teachers planned many activities for Science Week which continued to inspire a love of learning and passion for science. Activities included excursions to the extravaganza held at Urrbrae Agriculture High School and to the Adelaide Museum. The fun continued with the receptions conducting a STEM project on building Teddy Bear Bridges, the Year 2’s working on Lava lamps and Year 1’s constructing different Habitats.

Fortnightly Awards

Every three weeks at our school assembly, the Junior Primary and Upper Primary students receive acknowledgement of how they displayed the school values over the previous weeks. Class teachers choose two students who are presented with an award to recognise their efforts in always being respectful and safe (AIC Adelaide Core Value 3), to allow us to recognise their efforts and reinforce our school values.

Premier’s Reading Challenge

The students at AIC Adelaide have been working on completing their reading for the Premier’s Reading Challenge. The Premier’s Reading Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. Students will receive their certificates and medals in Term 4 inshallah.

Quran Competition

Upper Primary and Junior Primary students participated in AIC’s Quran competition, which is held once a year. Students were able to compete in an educational competition which aimed to enhance their connection with the Holy Quran.

R u Ok day

The year 12 students at AIC Adelaide presented a PowerPoint to students about R U OK? Day.  They learnt about identifying feelings, and what behaviours make someone a supportive friend, and what to say to their friends if they are struggling. Stickers were handed out, along with certificates for those students who were making an extra special effort to be a great friend.

Masks and QR codes 

Thanks to all families who are assisting in keeping our school safe by wearing masks, checking in using the QR codes displayed at the front and back gates for pick up and drop off, and limiting contact with teachers and other adults.
