EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AT MA'HAD URWAH
We are proud to share with you the exciting activities that Mubzies are exposed to and get to enjoy.
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.
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. For more information or to register your child, please contact the Ma’had Urwah office.
Heated Indoor Pool & Swimming Programme
Urwah Academy has recently added a heated indoor pool to our premises, allowing our learners to develop confidence and essential water-safety skills throughout the year.
Our Grade R and Grade 1 mubzies participate in structured swimming lessons during school hours as part of their holistic development. These sessions focus on building water confidence, coordination, and foundational swimming technique in a safe, supportive environment.
In addition, Friday afternoon lessons are available for learners who wish to further develop their skills. All sessions are led by an exceptionally experienced and qualified coach, ensuring professional instruction with careful attention to each child’s ability and progress.
Through this programme, we aim to cultivate physical confidence, resilience, and practical life skills while providing a warm, secure space for meaningful movement and growth.
PE PROGRAMME
At Ma'had Urwah, we believe that physical activity forms an important part of a child's holistic development. Through sport, our learners develop confidence, discipline, resilience, teamwork, and a healthy appreciation for the blessing of a strong body.
Our PE programme is designed to nurture both skill and character, encouraging learners to strive for excellence while embodying the values of respect, perseverance, humility, and good sportsmanship.
We aim to create an environment where every learner can participate, grow, and enjoy the benefits of movement and healthy competition.
TABLE TENNIS
Table tennis is a dynamic sport that develops concentration, coordination, reflexes, and strategic thinking. Through regular training and friendly competition, learners learn the value of patience, consistency, and focused effort.
The fast-paced nature of the game encourages quick decision-making while improving hand-eye coordination and motor skills. Whether a learner is picking up a paddle for the first time or refining existing skills, table tennis provides an engaging opportunity for growth and enjoyment.
At Ma'had Urwah, we encourage learners to approach every game with determination, respect for their opponents, and gratitude for the abilities Allāh has blessed them with.
NETBALL
Netball provides learners with an exciting opportunity to develop physical fitness while learning the importance of teamwork, communication, and leadership.
Through training sessions and match play, learners build agility, coordination, endurance, and game awareness. More importantly, they learn valuable life lessons about cooperation, responsibility, perseverance, and supporting others.
Our netball programme seeks to create confident young players who understand that success is not only measured by winning, but also by effort, character, and the way we conduct ourselves both on and off the court.
We strive to cultivate a positive sporting culture where learners encourage one another, work together towards common goals, and develop a lifelong appreciation for health and physical activity.
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.
