Looking at different types of seeds and seed dispersal

Class 8-9 have been learning all about different types of seeds and seed dispersal, Our students have discovered different types of seeds found in all types fruit. They were able to identify the different shapes, sizes and colours of seeds from different fruits. Some plants make tasty fruits. This is to encourage animals (and people!) to eat the fruits. The seeds then pass through the animal unharmed and out the other end with a ready supply of fertiliser (not tasty in the slightest…quite the opposite!). This method ensures the seed is given nutrients to help it grow.

  • Plant seeds can be dispersed in a number of different ways. Some seeds are transported by wind, and have seeds designed to float, glide or spin through the air
  • Many plants also use animals to carry seeds around. These seeds may have handy hooks which attach to an animal’s fur.

 

Africa- Second largest continent in the world!

Students have worked extremely hard creating a presentation for information about Africa within their Geography lesson.

Some decided to make a poster using images to explain which other created PowerPoint slides.

The main focus included areas such as Africa biomes, population, water, population density, gross national income.

Interesting fact about Africa:

There are 1.1 billion people who live in Africa, which is 16% of the world’s population!

Students got an opportunity to develop research skills looking at the second largest continent in the world which included fascinating facts about African countries, cities, famous people, landmarks, and animals.

Mathematical Challenges Online!

Our private students have been working through some mathematical challenge questions.

Using the online tools, they have worked through some math problems, questions, and individual assignments on various topics.

Students have been working on Ratio, Proportion, and 3D Shapes.

For each topic, a target was set which was then graded. The students completed exercises on simplifying ratios and worked on solving more complex proportion problems.

How do Muscles and Joints work together?

Our Home- schooled students aged 11-12, have been learning all about the muscles and joints in the human body! Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Muscles can pull bones, but they can’t push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint. A joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement. Generally speaking, the greater the range of movement, the higher the risk of injury because the strength of the joint is reduced. The students have done various exercises and have investigated what happens when they tense their muscles by using the muscle ‘scrunch and relax’ method. They can now successfully label different muscles and joints within the human body!

Punctuation Charts Online!

Students have been making posters to showcase Punctuation that they have been using within their writing during English lessons.

They have been focusing on features such as key vocabulary for grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Writing formally in English is more than just choosing the right words in the right order.

Using punctuation in your writing helps the reader to clearly understand the message that is being conveyed.

This resource can be used as a prompt and spelling reference during independent writing tasks and other activities.

Geography Online- My Place in The World

Our home-schooled students aged 9-11 were given an assignment/ project which involved assembling, cutting out, and gluing paper circles together from a writing frame. They started creating the model by focusing on the bigger areas first and then by adding the smaller circles which highlighted the topic My Place in the World.

This project has helped increase the student’s global awareness as they begin to grasp understanding of their city, state, country, and continent. The children had a lot of fun creating these Geography crafts making learning very interactive and engaging which has helped the students explore their place in the world, from their street to the world around them.

we have been writing about our day In arabic!

Our students aged 9-10 have being using their skills in Arabic to write about their day! The children have been pracising their vocabulary and have been speaking and listening over the past few weeks. This week the children have been able to write up about their day and use their skills accordingly! Like anything you teach your children, the earlier you expose them to the Arabic language, the easier it will be for them to learn and retain it. Children’s brains develop the quickest during their first five years of life. Childhood is a particularly important time for learning and there are many benefits to teaching your child another language. We at the tuition club believe that children who are bilingual become creative, flexible, more engaged in problem solving! The benefits of an additional language are endless!

Computing

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!

What happens when you swallow gum? -Class 9-10 find out!

Our mini scientists ages 9-10, have been finding out what really happens when you swallow gum?. During their science investigation, children have been learning about the human digestive system. They can confidently label parts of the digestive system using vocabulary such as; Stomach, esophagus, large intestine, salivary glands and small intestine. Children shouldn’t chew gum until they fully understand the importance of not swallowing it. By age 5, most children will understand that gum is different than sweets and is not to be swallowed. Chewing gum is made of either natural or synthetic materials (gum resin), preservatives, flavorings, and sweeteners. The body can absorb sweeteners, such as sugar But the human digestive tract can’t digest the gum resin. It’s moved through the digestive tract by the normal pushing (peristaltic) actions of the gut. The gum’s journey ends during a trip to the bathroom!

 

Online Greek Food display!

Our online home-schooled children have been learning about different types of food in Ancient Greece.

Food in Ancient Greece included some of the following: grains, wheat, barley, fruit, vegetables, breads, and cake.

The Ancient Greeks grew olives, grapes, figs and wheat and kept goats, for milk and cheese. They ate lots of bread, beans and olives.

Most Greeks were farmers and they ate the food that they grew. Since Greece had a mild climate, they were able to grow many different fruits and vegetables.

The children took part in a cooking activity to explore the different types of foods which involved a tasting experience.
