This weekend we welcomed families to our free Urdu Story Time & Family Gathering at the MAC 📚💛

Children enjoyed Urdu stories, creative activities and bracelet making, while parents shared their ideas and experiences to help shape future activities for children and families in Birmingham.

Some of the ideas shared included:

🌿 More intergenerational activities

🎨 Creative opportunities for children

🗣️ Language and cultural activities

🏃 Sports and active family events

🤝 Support for families and community connection

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed their ideas. Every conversation helps us better understand what matters most to local families.

This week we revisited Urdu numbers with the help of The Hungry Caterpillar. The children enjoyed counting together in Urdu, and some can now confidently count all the way to twenty! We also practised writing our Urdu numbers, building confidence through fun, hands-on activities. 🌿🐛

Today, children learnt about emotions in Urdu through games, movement and creativity.

They went on an emotions hunt around the park, looking for clues and using Urdu words to describe different feelings. Along the way, we met some unexpected visitors - a group of alpacas, which caused plenty of excitement!

Back indoors, children made expressive faces in a craft activity, exploring happy, sad, surprised and other emotions.

A fun afternoon of Urdu language learning, creativity and a few furry surprises.

Today the children acted out the story of Little Red Riding Hood in Urdu, taking on different characters and practising new vocabulary through role play.

They also made their own paper baskets inspired by the story and finished the session with muffin treats to take home.

A lovely afternoon of storytelling, creativity and Urdu language learning.

Through crafts, play and conversation, the children practised simple Urdu words linked to size before creating their own sheep Eid cards together 💛

We love creating activities that help children connect language with culture, creativity and real experiences.
