TDF Magnifiscience Comes to BHS

The TDF MagnifiScience Travels Programme brought their display of 15 mega projects for three consecutive days from 7th to 9th December, 2019 to promote tacit knowledge amongst learners and their parents at BHS premises. Not only were the mornings spent in learning but the exhibit was kept open for two evenings where mothers came with their young ones and learnt scientific concepts through games and activities.

Tactile learning and touch is essential for a child’s growth in physical abilities, cognitive and language skills, and even social and emotional development.

In contrast to explicit knowledge, which helps us ‘know what’, tacit knowledge can be understood as ‘know how’. Tacit knowledge is acquired by addressing real problems and practice, it relates to experience, ideals, intuition, values, creative thinking, skills and attitudes.

The institute of BHS reckons in creating an aura that invites experts providing a practical learning environment to prepare learners for their future, and an affiliation with TDF MagnifiScience Travels Programme is one such live example.

With the objective to encourage science literacy in society, The Dawood Foundation (TDF) organizes science exhibitions. The exhibition provides a learning space to explore the world of science through exhibits, experiments and expositions.

Their life-size display of 15 projects at BHS premises included:

  • Jenga
  • Soma Cube Puzzle
  • Earthquake Table
  • Musical Wall
  • Gravity Run
  • Newton’s Cradle
  • Face Swap
  • Tower of Lone
  • Train Table
  • Conecting Pathways
  • Scrabble
  • Shape Sorter
  • Snakes and Ladders
  • Pest Wall
  • Building a Bridge

Badri High School strives hard to adopt the PBL (Project Based Learning) model to help create healthy relationships and interactions between teachers, students, parents and organizations by knitting them on the same page to refine our community’s strength.

Indeed, one more feather on BHS cap to execute a plan that can make its associates learn but with fun.

CELEBRATING A DAY WITH GRANDPARENTS

Saturday, 30th November 2019 was a perfect day for celebrations. It was cold enough to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and peanuts around a bonfire and yet the sun shone merrily enough to take delight in the cool breeze.

Badri High School arranged for the students of Pre-Primary to spend a day with their grandparents. Together, grandparents and grandchildren had to complete 10 activities before they could move towards the Fun Area where a roaring bonfire beckoned them with roasted peanuts and hot chocolate and some bubble-blowing fun as well.

The activities showcased a mixture of Tarbiyat and Taleem as children did salam and massaged their grandparents feet in one area and read a book together in another. The handprints frame was a cherished souvenir while the circle of love and rings game got the old and the young walking, hopping and jumping together. The grandmas enjoyed weaving and grandpas enjoyed building with blocks. The fishing game was fun and they all wished they could take the fishes home. Their milad cards were collected by Taalebaat from Al-Jamea-tus-Saifiyah to be displayed in Masjid. It was endearing to watch the grandparents make sure to get their activity sheets stamped at every area.

Guests from an NGO based school were overwhelmed by the hospitality they received, especially when each grandma and grandchild pair was given their photograph as a souvenir. Janab Amilsaheb and UmmeAiman Bensaheba graciously accepted our invitation and spent time with their grandchildren and did many activities together. Our chairman Janab Naeem Bhaisaheb was missing his granddaughter very much and has promised to come back with her when she comes to Karachi.

Parent-child-school make a triangle but when grandparents enter the equation, it becomes a circle of love.

Badri High School KUN ZIARAT 1441H

Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin R.A. and Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin T.U.S. have repeatedly stated:
1223

 

 
The fourth group of Badri High School grade 10 students gave us a glimpse of Ashura in Karbala Moalla with their poignant rendering of Zikr-e-Hussain A.S., their purjosh matam and Noh-o- Aweel. All other Zaereeen were pulled towards them like moth to a flame during every majlis as they recited marsia of Imam Hussain A.S. and made eyes water and hearts melt.

Morning and afternoon, evening and night was spent in Haram Shareef where one could find them reciting Quran Majeed  and Salam, praying tahajjud or doing tasbeeh.

For three consecutive mornings, we prayed fajr namaz in Masjid-e-Kufa. The serenity that one feels, while watching the world turn from dark to light as the sun rises over the tall minarets of Masjid-e-Kufa, is equal to none. Ya Ali Madad pours out unbidden from lips as hearts and souls remember the Maula whose name wipes out the darkness of sorrows and troubles.

We were also blessed by Aqa Maula’s Kalemaat Nooraniyah from Karbala, Najaf and Kufa Waaz Mubarak.

The journey began and ended with one Dua: May Allah Ta’ala grant our Maula a long and healthy life till the day of Qayamat and may we remain in His khidmat till our last breath. Ameen.

Dr. Saulat Fatimi motivates students to follow their dream

Mondays are always significant because they bring with it an entire week to look forward to. This particular Monday, which marked the beginning of the month of December 2019, was an especially remarkable one as it gave BHS an opportunity to honour one of the top Cardiothoracic surgeons of the country.

Dr. Saulat Hasnain Fatimi is one of the top tier and busiest Cardiothoracic surgeons in the country. With decades of service to the cause of humanity in the field of healthcare, he specializes in complex open heart surgeries, minimally invasive thoracic surgeries and Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery.

With over 150 published pieces in peer reviewed journals and 300 abstracts, Dr. Saulat serves on multiple national and international scientific advisory boards. Needless to say he is a source of inspiration and pride for the community and country.

Dr. Fatemi was given a Guard of Honour by the school band and attended the invigorating morning assembly. The students who read the news in the assembly welcomed him and offered him a fragrant bouquet. After a light breakfast he was taken to the computer lab where he addressed the class 9-10 students who have opted for Biology and aspire to become doctors.

He candidly spoke to the students about his interesting life journey and his childhood dream to become a heart surgeon.  The story of his humble beginnings and his fire to achieve his goal inspired the students immensely. “Passion is what makes you stand out! Don’t let anybody tell you that something is impossible! Be an Olympian!” His words of wisdom fueled the passion in the student’s hearts. “I see a spark in their eyes,” the doctor commented as he looked at his audience. His rousing speech ended with a standing ovation.

The sessions ended with a Q/A and a prized group photograph with the good doctor under the BHS logo. With such a precious resource of professionals in the community, BHS wishes to expose these ambitious children to people who can be their mentors.

REBUS- EXPRESSING THOUGHTS THROUGH ILLUSTRATIONS!

Art has always been the center of attention for a student- the merriment conquered by mere splashes of colors on a piece of paper while expressing fresh and contemporary ideas brings a great deal of satisfaction. It is through different vibrancies of colors that vast spectrum’s of knowledge seep hastily in a learner’s soul. 

BHS feels honored to execute such competitions where learners are given an open forum to express their creative side in a well-organized fashion.  On November 15, 2019, students gathered with their canvases and art supplies in the ground of the BHS premises to create a gallery of Maulana Ali A.S’s 30 pearls of wisdom given to Maulana Hasan A.S, taught to us by Maula Muffadal TUs during Ashara Mubaraka.

It was a delight to see students of all ages wearing emotions of excitement, thrill, anticipation to accumulate Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin’s TUS happiness. 

The tinge of blue, the taunt of yellow, the smooth rays of red, the beauty of green, the determination of orange, the cool of gold, and the strength of black reflected not only the artist’s creative side but also germinated their critical thinking analytical process. 

Learners were happy to use any medium of their choice to celebrate and express their thoughts through illustrations-Rebus. It bagged a sense of ownership and strengthened within them ability to communicate through lines, dimensions and colors.

The joyful ambiance without fail motivated their teachers too who alongside students minted their masterpieces. 

As Thomas Horton quotes; ‘Art enables us to find our own self’-Truly it does.
