Garden Club attendees had a great time on Tuesday planting onion and potato seeds and cucumber seedlings in our learning garden. The children were very excited to see the development of the seedlings from the seeds that they planted the previous week. All attendees had a great time gardening and are looking forward to attending the next session after the Ramadhaan break.
Tomorrow our attending home-schooled children will plant the remaining seeds outdoors and will also check the progress of their seed trays from last week! Don’t miss out – register at tuitionclub.org/gardenclub or register on the day.
Children have been developing observational skills by creating tonal grid drawing during Art lessons.
The grid method involves drawing a grid over your reference picture/photo, and then drawing a grid of equal ratio on your work surface/paper.
Drawing complex objects purely by eye, without any visual aid like construction lines, or a physical aid like a proportional divider can be difficult.
However, using the grid method can help with drawing objects or pictures which require accuracy.
Our home-schooled children have been learning how to write letters in Arabic.
Some of the children wrote about Ramadhan, the act of Fasting and what their day would be like during Ramadhan.
Others wrote about a recent trip they went on with their family.
Garden Club attendees yesterday had a great time planting a variety of seeds in growing trays and propagators. The seeds planted included tomato, carrot, beetroot, cucumber, strawberry and herb seeds. In addition the children finished planting the fruit trees, which they started during the previous session. They also put out our brand new waterproof cushions for the outdoor classroom seating area. All attendees had a great time gardening in the beautiful weather alhamdulilah.
In Science some of our children have been creating a tasty model to investigate plate tectonics.
This was a hands-on activity to teach students about plate tectonics.
The model describes the structure of the Earth’s plates and the Earth’s layers as well as the theory of plate tectonics.
This activity was completed after initial instruction on the layers of the Earth and tectonic plates.
Tomorrow our attending home-schooled children will have the opportunity to plant our variety of seeds into seed trays, and then in a few weeks they will be able to move the seedlings outdoors! Don’t miss out – register at tuitionclub.org/gardenclub or register on the day.
Our home-schooled children have been busy learning about food vocabulary during their Arabic Class.
To help make the learning fun they experienced a cooking lesson which provided a practical experience with many essential skills such as reading, following directions, and measuring.
This activity provided a rich learning environment whereby children would also communicate instructions for the recipe and use phrases to help converse in the Arabic Language.
Our Kids Arabic Club is postponed until after Ramadhaan. Please keep an eye on our website and social media for updates of the restarting date.
