Our home schooled students from class 8-9 attended a fantastic Kids Hour workshop today at the Apple Store, Trafford Centre.
Kids Hour is designed to spark imagination and creativity through fun, hands-on projects. Our students explored coding with Sphero robots by programming simple movements, loops and more. They also designed a maze and navigated their robot through the obstacles.
Alhamdulillaah on Thursday afternoon, we came to the end of autumn term 2017 at the Tuition Club and to celebrate the achievements of our home schooled students we held an end of term ceremony.
In shaa Allaah the last day of the Autumn term will be this Thursday 14th December 2017. Alhamdulillaah we are coming to the end of another successful full term here at The Tuition Club, in which a lot of progression has been made.
In order to reward our students for their achievements, we will be having an end of term ceremony this Thursday 14th December in shaa Allaah. The ceremony will commence at 2.30pm and conclude at 3pm.
This term our home schooled students have been learning key Arabic vocabulary and phrases used in shops. They put their learning into practice by acting out the dialogue of buying fruit and vegetables, as well as making delicious smoothies to sell in their shop.
We are excited to announce our brand new Homework Club! Our new initiative has been set up in order to support our home schooled students further in their learning.
Students have been introduced to computational thinking, by programming ‘Sandwich Bot’ through the use of algorithms (which are a set of instruction to get something done). Students have also been introduced to the idea of debugging, by identifying problems in their butter sandwich algorithm.
This term children have been focusing on learning to draw fruit and vegetables using one of the mastery of art and design techniques known as sketching. Artists use tone to create observational drawings. An observational drawing could be a portrait, architecture (buildings) or still life (bowl of fruit).
The Tuition Club resumes tomorrow Monday 30th October at 10am, for the second half of the Autumn term. We look forward to our home schooled students returning in shaa Allaah.
Alhamdulillaah on Thursday we came to the end of our first half term of the new academic year and we ended it in style with a fun growth mindset activity afternoon.
At the Tuition Club it is vitally important that we encourage both children and tutors to develop a Growth Mindset. The idea by Professor Carol Dweck highlights how the most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work – brains and talent are just the starting point.
