Learning About Allah’s Nature By Being In The Nature : Inspirational Story as a Parent

 

A few days ago, Tariq participated in a Botany : Plant Morphology Field Trip!🥰

It was really an amazing learning experience for Tariq and his homeschooling buddies, Alhamdulillah!🤩

The field trip was taught by husband and wife team of experts - Dr Khadijah and Dr Yahya, MashaAllah! 🥳

Tariq (and Mama) learn so much about plants!

Mainly, Tariq discovered the many plant features and functions thru observation and understanding the many intrinsic characteristics that only experts would know, MashaAllah!🥰

Tariq learn how to distinguishing planted from naturally occurring forest species, the different species regenerate, observe how trees form a canopy, learning what limit the canopy height, understanding the forest floor (fern, seedlings herbaceous plants, dead leaves, animals), understanding how large trees are changing the environment, distinguishing flowering from non-flowering plants, distinguishing leaves from stems, distinguishing and classifying leaf types, observing flower and fruits and learning the role of flowers and fruits.

He even learn about edible leaves, how to identify if we can eat them and actually ate a few himself!😂

Hmmm… sedap jugak la, Mama..!, said Tariq quite surprised with the pleasant taste of the leave he ate.

Said the boy yang tak pernah makan ulam

SubhanAllah!!

Alhamdulillah!!

Nothing can beat learning about Allah’s nature than being in the nature itself!🥰🥰🥰

The 2-hour session went by so fast, the kids didn’t want to even take a break, MashaAllah!!

Became truly amazed of Allah’s many mind-blowing greatness that Tariq learn to observe and witness thru His botany creations, SubhanAllah Alhamdulillah!!🥰🥰🥰
