Pictured below are just two excellent examples of the work produced by our home-schooled students in which they describe their appearance and personality, with one student writing about herself ‘I have brown hair and I wear a purple dress and pink shoes. I don’t wear glasses or a hat.’
The Tuition Club resumes tomorrow Monday 23rd April at 10am, for the first half of the Summer term. We hope our home schooled students had an enjoyable Spring break and we look forward to them returning for another exciting term in shaa Allaah!
Our Young learners have been learning about many different topics in Arabic.
Tutors have been using props to aid the children’s learning in building language skills and early learning concepts.
Through kinaesthetic means: touching, feeling and experiencing the material at hand has helped students engage in the learning activity.
Year 2 students have been learning about Symmetry within their Maths lessons.
When something is symmetrical it means it is the same on both sides.
The students were given a shape and asked to draw lines of symmetry on them. To help understand the concept and how to find the line of symmetry, the children were presented with shapes to fold in half so that they could see clearly that one side was the same as the other.
A shape has symmetry if a central dividing line (a mirror line) can be drawn on it that shows that both sides of the shape are exactly the same.
Throughout Term 2 our home-schooled students have produced some excellent posters on many science-based topics.
Some of these have been about the Life Cycle of a plant outlining the basic structure of a plant, for example, parts of a plan as well as what a tree needs.
The children have been focusing on developing their writing in the Arabic script as well as speaking and listening elements.
Last week, Key Stage 3 & 4 students visited the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.
The museum is devoted to the development of science, technology, and industry with emphasis on the city’s achievements in these fields. The students initially enjoyed wandering around looking at the exhibitions and got to experience a range of interactive shows, workshops, and other learning activities.
KS2 have been training their brains!
Building on our “Growth Mindset”, students have been problem-solving and developing their lateral thinking skills to solve seemingly difficult puzzles.
On Saturday afternoon we hosted The Tuition Club Open Day 2018. The afternoon was a great opportunity for interested parents, to find out how we can support them throughout their home schooling journey.
Alhamdulillaah on Thursday afternoon, we came to the end of the Spring term 2018 at the Tuition Club and to celebrate the achievements of our home schooled students we held an end of term ceremony.
