How did the Prophet Nuh (AS) show sabr?

We reread the story of Prophet Nuh (AS) using the book Safar Islamic Studies -Textbook 2 and talked about the meaning of the word sabr as being patient: waiting for something to happen without getting cross/upset and putting trust in Allah when something bad/we don't like happens.

I asked the girls if they could think of any examples of when Nuh (AS) was patient and showed sabr... They came up with how he told the people about Allah for 950 years, even though they were rude to him, and how he must have felt when his son drowned.

I gave the girls the pictures from the worksheet and asked them which part of the story they thought each represented (reminding them how and why we can't draw pictures of the prophets themselves or their companions out of respect!) as points where Nuh (AS) was patient. The two pictures they didn't think of themselves were the building of the ark, with people laughing at Nuh (AS), and waiting for 40 days and nights on the ark for the rain to stop.

Then they cut the 4 pictures out and arranged them in chronological order to stick down on the second part of the worksheet.

Finally, they wrote a small caption under each picture, to explain what it showed, and coloured the sheet in.
