As parents, we want the best for our children, and that includes providing them with a well-rounded education. At  Ma’had Urwah, we believe that education is not just about academic learning but also about fostering creativity, imagination, and exploration. That’s why we offer a range of extra-curricular activities that help our learners develop their skills and interests.
 We are proud to share with you the exciting activities that Mubzies are exposed to and get to enjoy.


At our ECD, we understand the importance of nurturing a love for learning, and what better way to do that than through hands-on activities?

Not only do our learners have a blast decorating their cupcakes, but they also learn a range of valuable skills such as following instructions, teamwork, and creativity. These skills will come in handy throughout their lives and are essential to their success in both their academic and personal lives.

Coding

In addition to our popular swimming and cupcake decorating classes, we’re introducing new activities which include unplugged coding games and activities. Unplugged coding is a fun and interactive way for learners to learn the basics of coding without the use of technology. Our learners will engage in activities that involve problem-solving, critical thinking, and logical reasoning. They’ll learn how to break down problems into smaller parts, plan out their solutions, and then put them into action.
But that’s not all. We’re taking our coding education one step further by providing each learner with a tablet on which they’ll be taught basic coding. Our dedicated teachers will guide the learners as they learn to create their own games, animations, and interactive stories. This activity is not only fun, but it also prepares our little ones for the digital age that we live in.

Basic Woodwork

Our basic woodwork sessions have been a hit with the children. Under careful supervision, Mubzies have explored the fundamentals of woodcraft. They have learned to handle simple tools and create small wooden projects, developing their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The joy on their faces as they completed their individual projects was truly priceless, instilling a sense of accomplishment and confidence in their abilities.

Basic Pottery Skills

Pottery sessions have introduced Mubzies to the tactile art of working with clay. Through guided instruction, they have mastered basic pottery techniques, from shaping and molding to painting and glazing their creations. This activity has not only spurred their creativity but also improved their concentration and patience. 

If you’re looking for an ECD centre  that goes above and beyond to provide a well-rounded education for your child, look no further than our Ma'had Urwah. We offer a range of extra-curricular activities that cater to a variety of interests and skill levels, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive and grow. 

Kickboxing

For those seeking to build strength, discipline, and self-defense skills, we have partnered with Warrior Academy to offer kickboxing training. This exciting and energetic sport helps learners develop physical fitness, mental focus, and perseverance in a safe and structured environment.

Padel Training

Our partnership with professional padel coaches at Awesome Padel offers learners the opportunity to learn and improve their skills in this exciting, fast-growing sport. Padel is a fun, dynamic, and accessible sport that encourages teamwork and fitness, providing an excellent balance to our academic programs.

Horse Riding

In line with the Sunnah, we are pleased to offer horse riding lessons in collaboration with Pienaardam Equestrian Centre. Horse riding is not only an enjoyable activity but also a means to build strength, discipline, and a deep connection with nature. Students will gain confidence, develop a love for animals, and experience the benefits of outdoor physical activity.

We are immensely proud of the progress and enthusiasm our Mubzies have shown in these extracurricular activities. At Ma'had Urwah, we remain committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages our children to explore, learn, and grow in multifaceted ways. These extracurricular activities provide learners with valuable life skills, promote teamwork, and encourage an active lifestyle.

At our school, we believe in providing a holistic learning experience for our young learners. One of the unique practices we have implemented is "Milkshakes with Mawlānā," a special program where we invite a respected Mawlānā from the community to spend quality time with our learners.

Milkshakes with Mawlānā is designed to create a warm and welcoming environment for our learners to interact with adults from other schools. It provides them with a wonderful opportunity to build meaningful connections and develop a loving relationship with the 'Ulamāʾ (Islāmic scholars) of their town.
