23.01.2022 Term 3 2019 Summary (Part 3/3) STEAM & Coding In STEAM & Coding, students have looked at science and engineering. They have carried out a series of experiments to do with balloons, such as sticking a skewer through a balloon, and studied the science behind it. In the coding component, students have looked at the fundamentals of coding, including the block programming with scratch. Some advanced students have worked on programming with Python. ... Coding & Robotics In Scratch, students used the skills they have learnt so far to create a functional and competitive maze game in Scratch. They utilised their block programming abilities and creativity to come up with ideas for their game and to create it. In Python, students modelled game features from the mobile game "Autochess" using Python functions. They are also building on their fundamental skills by solving basic programming challenge style question. By modelling these game features, students are applying the skills they learn to actual situations in order to improve their understanding.

23.01.2022 The KE Academy Spring Holiday Program: Drama Develop your child’s acting skills and confidence with our drama camp! During our drama holiday program, children will participate in various fun and stimulating group activities, and work in teams to improve their drama abilities....

Our camps encourage children to express themselves and be who they are. It’s a great way to pass the time while also being educated. Creative Writing The Creative Writing camp will help children to explore different aspects of story writing, and create their own stories. Students will first work on their reading comprehension skills, and then work through the fundamentals of creative writing. They will explore different forms of writing as well, such as poetry. Students will learn how to write efficiently and utilise language techniques and skills to improve the quality of their works. They will learn about narrative structure and all the elements that go into creating a sophisticated story. Students will then write a series of short stories to put the skills they have learnt into practice and to increase their speed. Coding Does your child have a passion for technology? Then our coding camp is definitely for you. In our coding programs, we teach children how to code in either Python or Scratch, according to their level. They get to make their own fun programs and develop their coding and programming skills. Coding encourages children to be analytical thinkers and proficient problem solvers. Through our coding camp, children will learn how to solve various issues with code and they will be given chances to express and develop their creative ideas. Coding is a useful skill that children should develop at a young age - get started today!

14.01.2022 Public Speaking class will be available in our North Rocks Campus! We collaborate with North Rocks Public School to run our STEAM and Coding classes. Starting from Term 4 this year, the principal of the Public School has approved us to run our Public Speaking class there.

13.01.2022 NEW Course: DRAMA You may have noticed that there are drama courses on our Term 3 timetable. KE Academy collaborates with an excellent and well-known law firm that is founded for 12 years. The screening of teachers and the arrangement of the courses are all repeated and verified by the team, aiming to give the children the best class experience and the most effective learning outcome. This new course is suitable for children over four years old. By providing three different l...evels according to the age and the maturity of language skills (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced), we help every child to develop their potentials. All of our instructors have a law background. With several years of work experience in law fields, and their own life experiences, that makes the drama course logically rigorous, rich in content, but easy to enjoy. The highlight of this course will be the precise use of language during the process of drama education. This will help the children with equipping the necessary skills in public performances. Most importantly, our teacher team guides children to the precise use of language throughout the drama education process, which will be a highlight of the course, and also provide a strong faculty for the childrens public performance in the future.

13.01.2022 At KE Academy, we also provide holiday programs for your children with fulfilling activities. For this Autumn vacation, we have two holiday programs: - 16th April Tuesday, 9am-5pm: KE Coding and Lego Camp with Bricks4kids... - 17th April Wednesday, 9am-4pm: Raiders of the Lost Ark For more information, please visit us at http://www.keacademy.com.au/holiday-program/

12.01.2022 Learning to code is the same as learning a new language skill. It is best to start learning how to code in the early years. You might think it is hard for kids to learn to code, but in reality, it is quite easy. Learning coding at a young age makes kids better thinkers and communicators. This leads to more innovations, which is certainly beneficial throughout life. Knewtons coding program focuses on children learning Python and how to write programs. Teaching complex knowled...ge to children in ways that children can accept.Coding empowers kids to not only consume digital media and technology, but to create it. Instead of simply playing a video game, they can imagine what their own video game, or website be and theyll have the outlet for expression. When kids code, they take complex problems and break them down into smaller parts. Kids learn what its like to approach a problem with logical and computational thinking. This logical thinking is a powerful tool in school, work, and life. Please email to [email protected]

12.01.2022 Todays steam camp learnt how to separate dirt, water, pins and plastic using different methods and discovered why metal attracts to magnets and how a filter works.

06.01.2022 Welcome back to Term 4! Hope you all enjoyed your spring holidays. We have also organised our holiday classes. In the Coding class, students made a game with Scratch. Children created a game scene with a cat, a mouse, and the bread. With some code logic, the mouse tried to eat the bread, while the cat tried to catch the mouse. They know that computers are not only for watching movies, playing games, or listening to music. Drama class was another favourite class because of our... enthusiastic teacher. Children recreated the story Three Little Pigs. At last, we had our Creative Writing class. Our teacher did a warm-up with kids at the beginning to let them calm down and concentrate through the day. The teacher has a 10-year teaching experience, which let our creative kids made their interesting stories within a short time frame. Hope you are ready for Term 4!
