Excellent start to the New Academic Year during Arabic lessons!

Our home-schooled children have had an excellent start to the new academic year.

During Arabic lessons they have been working on letter writing which focused on their summer holidays.

Letter writing is an essential skill which is also taught during Arabic lessons. It is also fun and helps to compose written text and provide handwriting practice.

Children must be aware of different styles of writing, the use of formal and informal letters, and to select style and vocabulary appropriate to the intended reader.

Our home-schooled students have produced some excellent work which can be viewed here

Using Watercolour Techniques on Individual Paintings!

Our home-schooled children have taken each of their individual paintings and have added colour to their artwork.

Using watercolours, they have been able create a painting whereby light reflects off the white of the paper and bounces up through the colours, giving it a luminosity.

Also, by using a range of brushes the children were able to experiment with different sizes to work out what would be ideal for those little details within their artwork.

Watercolour techniques such as working from light to dark have helped build the values up layer by layer to arrive at the effect that was intended.
