Tuition Club has now closed for end of term 2. We hope you are having a lovely break. The Tuition Club will resume back on Monday 19^th April 2021.

Please ensure your child/children completes any homework set so they are ready for the new half term.

Any outstanding payments please arrange the amount to be paid before the new term begins.

Ramadhan Break/Timing Change

During the blessed month of Ramadhan, the Tuition Club will delay timings slightly to make it easier to those who are fasting and may find it difficult to arrive earlier. During Ramdhan the Tuition Club will begin at 11:00 am and will finish at 16:00pm.

Timetables will remain the same. The time change will not affect the weekly fees.

We would like to thank you for your continued support.

We have been making our own Anemometer!

Written by Admin on 26th March 2021. Posted in News, Science.

Our home schooled children aged 5-6 have been having fun in their scientific craft / experiment -by making their own anemometer (wind gauge) out of paper cups and pencils, and them learning how to measure the wind speed. The hands-on activity has demonstrated to our little learners that you cannot see the wind, but you can see it move things and see if the wind is moving fast, slow, or not at all. By making the wind gauge the children now show a good understanding of how a real anemometer works! Cup anemometers are simple instruments used by meteorologists to measure wind speed.

Science

Here at the Tuition Club we teach our students more than just the basics of biology, physics and chemistry! We teach them skills that are important in every aspect of our lives, whether it is how to make observations, collecting information or using logical thinking to draw conclusions. Students are able to work in teams and participate in fun experiments and activities, such as baking cakes in order to understand the concept of irreversible reactions.

Maths

Maths is one of the most important subjects in a child's development. Basic mathematics skills are needed in everyday life, and here at the Tuition Club we make sure that our students succeed in gaining those vital skills. We not only cover the National Curriculum, but we also integrate problem solving and mental maths activities into our lessons; enabling students to develop their skills whilst also having fun. Excellent knowledge of maths will open many avenues for children, so come and find out how we can support your child in this important subject!

History

Here at the Tuition Club our students will explore the past history of Britain, as well as the past history of the wider world. From learning about significant events such as the Great Fire of London, to learning about the Roman Empire, early Islamic civilization and much more; we want to inspire children to want to learn more about the past. Our aim is for students to develop their understanding of the world around them, as well as learn important historical concepts, abstract terms and gain an understanding of historical enquiry methods.

Geography

During our geography lessons, we aim to inspire within our students a fascination and interest in the world and its people. Students will develop an understanding of key human and physical processes, as their knowledge of the world grows throughout their studies. Not only will our students be taught in a classroom, but they will also have the opportunity to participate in some exciting fieldwork!

English

Here at the Tuition Club we understand the importance the subject of English has, in enabling children to communicate effectively through speaking and writing fluently. By covering the national curriculum our teachers aim to support our students in developing their language skills through creative writing, reading and speaking. The lessons are interactive, and many exciting activities are in the process of being planned such as a trip to the local library.

Computing

What is computing? Is it knowing just how to switch a computer on? Send an Email and browse the web? We believe computing can be that much more for our kids. Computing can be creative and fun! Imagine if they were able to actually build that computer that they switch on? Or perhaps program it, and install software properly. Instead of just surfing the web, how about design the actual webpages themselves. Our computing tuition is designed to instil that creative and exploratory mindset, to help our students turn it from a dull subject in to a fun and rewarding past time and more!

Arabic

Arabic is a wonderful language, spoken by millions of people around the world. Our comprehensive program is designed to tutor the children and help them learn the language more fluently. We also aimt o take them up to GCSE level and beyond, so they can read, speak and write this beautiful and poetic language.

Art

Nurture your child's creative side by enrolling them for an art lesson at the Tuition Club. Let them explore ways to draw, paint and build the things around them. We currently can offer them painting, drawing, skill co-ordination and creative thinking. Soon we will offer pottery and 3D art... all whilst letting them enjoy themselves and have fun!

Sport

At The Tuition Club we provide our students with the opportunity to participate in Physical Education and we believe it to be essential to help with the development of motor skills and the enhancement of reflexes. The lessons will not only get the students fit and healthy but will be full of fun activities for them all to enjoy. We often take students to the British Wrestling Academy to make use of the space and equipment.

Telling the Time to the Minute and Hour

Written by Admin on 24th March 2021. Posted in Maths, News, Online.

Our age 6-7 online students have been learning how to tell the time to the nearest minute and hour on an analogue clock.

Knowing how to tell the time accurately is a very important skill.

The children have been using the language including ‘past’ and ‘to’ when telling the time and have been using Roman numerals on clock faces when answering questions which has helped practise fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving questions.

On a standard analogue clock face, there are 12 hourly increments. These are sometimes represented by Roman numerals.

Roman numerals up to VII represent the hours in a day.

Once children have mastered how to tell the time to the nearest minute, they can progress to telling the time past the hour.

Computing – Programming with Scratch

Written by Admin on 17th March 2021. Posted in News, Online.

Our online computing students have been learning about algorithms and programming using scratch.

The children have been focusing on how to use the program to create, move and size characters and then how to sequence instructions including the use of a repeat command.

Using Scratch, the children are learning to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively using the computer.

The students have also been using Code.org and have been presented with additional home learning resources to develop their computer skills at home.

Properties of shapes

Written by Admin on 11th March 2021. Posted in Maths, News, Online.

Our online students have been learning all about the different properties of shapes.

The students got to learn that a corner on a 2D shape is called a ‘vertex’ and the plural is ‘vertices’.

In the first task, they counted the vertices on various familiar 2D shapes.

In the second task, children got to spot the odd one out in groups of shapes by looking at the different numbers of vertices the shapes have.

Questions were given to the students to encourage reasoning and discussion.

These helped strengthen children’s abilities with describing the properties of shapes.

Is the moon a planet?

Written by Admin on 3rd March 2021. Posted in News, Online, Science.

Our home-schooled students have been exploring what they know about the moon and whether they think the moon is a planet.

A planet is a sphere made of rocky material or gas that orbits the sun.

A moon, on the other hand, is a sphere of rocky material that orbits a planet, just like our moon orbits Earth.

Students took part in a fun creative activity looking at the names of the planets in our solar system.
The oral activity gave the opportunity for students to recall the properties of a planet and list them in their books.

Visuals were included of planets as part of class discussion to connect properties of the planets and then compare them to the moon.

Narrative Nonfiction Writing

Written by Admin on 23rd February 2021. Posted in English, News, Online.

Our home-schooled children have been looking at narrative nonfiction texts to help structure a story and look at key features to include.

The students looked at examples of narrative structure which helped to work towards their narrative writing task.

Some of the elements included looking at and discussing the following:

Developed characters.
Engaging dialogue, written as in a novel, as opposed to direct quotations.
A story using scenes that follow a narrative.
Use of literacy devices such as imagery, symbolism, and metaphors.

By looking at the above elements the students were able to explore the purpose and importance of structure within narratives.

Arabic Pronoun Tree Poster

Written by Admin on 4th February 2021. Posted in Arabic, News, Online.

Recently our Arabic Language students have been learning about pronouns during their Arabic sessions.

There are two types of pronouns in Arabic, one is the Attached Pronoun, and the other is Detach Pronoun.

Usually, pronouns take the place of a noun and function as a subject of the sentence.

The students have designed their own posters to help them remember and learn these pronouns.

How to Make a Volcano Experiment!

Written by Admin on 3rd February 2021. Posted in News, Online.

Volcanic eruptions are one of the most powerful natural forces on our planet.

In Geography the children were set a project to make their own miniature erupting volcano to help start learning about these incredible geological features.

Using everyday kitchen items, the students were able to use paper-mâché and cardboard to create the model volcano.

A chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda creates a gas called carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide is the same type of gas used to make the carbonation in sodas.

If you shake up a soda the gas gets very excited and tries to spread out.

There is not enough room in the bottle for the gas to spread out, so it leaves through the opening very quickly, causing an eruption!

A full explanation was provided to the students and they were able to perform this volcano experiment and enjoyed the learning experience with family at home.
