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.
To celebrate the end of term we have decided to have an activities week during the last week of term.
We will be organising a few educational trips throughout the week, commencing Monday 16th December–Wednesday 18th December 2019.
We believe that the trip is well deserved by all students and we sincerely hope that all students will be able to attend.
Also, in order to reward our home-schooled students for their hard work and efforts this term, we will be holding a ceremony on the last day Thursday 19th December from 2:00pm – 15:05.

Our online home-schooled students have been learning the basic rule for subject-verb agreement.
Children were asked to read the sentence and type the correct verb, matching a singular noun with singular verb.
They also worked on an online activity identifying an adverb in a sentence and describing what adverbs are for.
They then moved on to use an adverbs to create their own sentences.
Tactile learners learn best through movement.
In Art & crafts our home-schooled children have been looking at images of buildings through feel and texture.
They have got to experience and remember patterns using their fingers creating a texture collage.
This activity helped those experiential artists because it adds a tactile aspect to the activity.
Using a wide range of materials with a variety of textures the children got to cut out random geometrical shapes to create their texture collage.
Our online students have been practicing their basic addition of numbers up to 20 while developing essential fine motor and coordination skills at the same time.
Each section of the picture contains a simple addition sum that adds up to a number equalling 20 or less, with the answer relating to a specific colour dictated by a key at the bottom of the sheet.
This activity has helped the children engage with the learning in a creative way and begin to recognise the answers to common addition sums up to 20.
In addition, colouring by numbers is a fun way to assess colour and number recognition skills alongside a great way to reinforce key concepts.
Our online students have been recording different words they don’t understand or can’t spell very well, adding them to their Spelling/Dictionary Book
This method allows the children to develop dictionary skills and work on their vocabulary.
The children have also added illustrations to make them visual, helping create a context for words.
Our home-schooled children have been looking at the foundations of a picture in order to create a paper collage.
They worked on imitating the texture of the building and created shadows with the black highlights along with the white.
Paper collage is a technique of an art production where the artwork is created using an assemblage of different forms and shapes using paper.
These forms and shapes eventually create a whole image.
The children focused on looking at texture and the feel touch approach to create their paper collage.
This week the children started with a mile run in under 12 minutes aiming to push themselves and time their score from last week.
After a small water break the girls partook in a HITT exercise (high intensity interval training) designed to fluctuate heart rate.
HIIT exercises are designed to boosts children’s brain power.
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), is a brief, quick-paced form of exercise.
This has been found to help children perform better on tasks involving the working memory and cognitive control.
Many of our KS3 home-schooled children have produced some excellent prices of work focus on various topics within Science.
Some have been looking at the circulatory system, discussing key organs in Biology such as the inside of a heart.
Using a diagram, they were able to identify key areas and the process involved as well as discussing how to keep this vital organ healthy.
Following on from planning and design the children have been working on creating their bags demonstrating their sewing skills using a wide range of materials.
Some of the students opted to use felt material to create their bags.
Felt is a durable, moisture-repellent and heat-insulating material and can be made of both, natural or synthetic fibres.
It is easy to work with and can be used on both sides because both surfaces are the same.
The children went on to draw and cut out the the pattern pieces in order to start stitching.
