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!

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.

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!

This week Year 6 have enjoyed learning how to tell and read the time in arabic. During the arabic lesson they have been learning:

How to ask for time in Arabic:

1- “kami as-sā’ah?”       كم الساعة؟ (What time is it?) or

2- “kami as-sā’ah al-ān?”       كم الساعة الأن؟ (What time is it now?).

How to read and tell the different forms of time (e.g):

Quarter past –       والربع

Twenty past –       والثلث
Half past –       والنص

Which phrases to use when telling someone the time:

1– innaha … –       إنها …

2– innaha as-sā’ah … –       إنها الساعة …
3– as-sā’atu tushiru ila … –

Take a look below for some examples of their outstanding learning at home. Well done Year 6, Keep it up!

Our wonderful online students aged 10-11 have been practising writing in Arabic. They went on to describe how they celebrated their Eid day! Children who read have better language skills. For our students who are learning the Arabic language read, speak and now have the essential writing skills.

Our home-schooled children have been writing all about the topic My House and how they spend their weekends during Arabic lessons.

They have produced some excellent written work to reflect this.

The children have also focused on comprehension which involved reading texts and answering the questions.

During Arabic this week some of the students have been learning about the Sun and Moon Letters.

The consonants are divided into two groups, called the sun letters or solar letters (Arabic: حروف شمسية‎ ḥurūf shamsiyyah) and moon letters or lunar letters (حروف قمرية ḥurūf qamariyyah), based on whether they assimilate the letter lām (ﻝ l) of a preceding Arabic definite article al- (الـ), which is an important general rule used in Arabic grammar.

The 14 Sun-letters are: (ﻥ ,ﻝ ,ﻅ ,ﻁ ,ﺽ ,ﺹ ,ﺵ ,ﺱ ,ﺯ ,ﺭ ,ﺫ ,ﺩ ,ﺙ ,ﺕ)

The 14 Moon-letters are: ( ه ,ﻱ ,ﻭ ,ﻡ ,ﻙ ,ﻕ ,ﻑ ,ﻍ ,ﻉ ,ﺥ ,ﺡ ,ﺝ ,ﺏ ,أ).

The children got to memorize a rhyme to help learn the letters.
