Learning Blocks is a locally owned and run educational development organisation, designed by Australian teachers, and based on the Australian National Curriculum. As every child learns in their own way, Learning Blocks takes this into consideration and delivers fun, inclusive and interactive lessons for children aged 3-18. We ensure children enjoy their time at Learning Blocks and benefit from the experience and high class teaching we offer. School Readiness classes (Smart Squirrels) are designed for children aged 3-5 and aim to prepare them for the beginning of school. This program includes the development of academic along with social, emotional and physical skills. These sessions are fun and inclusive of each child’s individual needs. Children will complete the Smart Squirrels program confident and ready for school on a variety of levels. The early and middle years tutoring program (Leapfrog Learners and Shooting Stars) are specifically designed in a way that will ensure children enjoy their learning experiences. A main aim of this program (along will all of our tutoring programs) is to instil confidence in the children. It is important that children believe in themselves in order to succeed. The upper years tutoring program (Bridges Beyond) is much like the early and middle years programs in that it aims to develop the academic abilities of the children. It also gives them the extra help that they require to either bridge the gaps they have in learning, or strive ahead for extended results. For children in high school, specialised teachers take the sessions, which provides the students with a high class lesson delivered by an expert teacher. All tutoring sessions are taken by qualified, registered and experienced teachers and can be run in small groups or one-on-one situations. Sessions can also be done outside of the centre, at the child’s home for your convenience.

Ever noticed the '-ed' suffix has not one, not two, but three distinct sounds! 🤯
Let's have a closer look 🔎:

1️⃣ 'id' sound: In words like 'wanted' or 'needed,' the '-ed' ending sounds like 'id,'. We add 'id' for the '-ed' sound after words ending with 't' and 'd,'. 'Waited' sounds like 'wait-id,' and 'loaded' sounds like 'load-id!' 🧐

2️⃣ 't' sound: In words like 'jumped' or 'laughed,'. If a word ends in p, k, f, gh, sh, ch, ss, c, or x, the '-ed' suffix makes a 't' sound. 'Kicked' sounds like 'kickt,' and 'washed' sounds like 'washt!' 😳

3️⃣ 'd' sound: In words like 'played' or 'yelled,' the '-ed' ending sounds like 'd,'. ‘Called’ sounds like ‘calld’ and ‘stayed’ sounds like ‘stayd’. 🤔

Isn't it captivating how a single suffix can create diverse sounds? Keep your ears tuned next time you read! 📖🔊

Individualised instruction provides the opportunity for students to learn at their own pace, in their own way, and be successful. This involves changing the pace the information is delivered, the methods through which the content is offered, and the materials distributed.

At Learning Blocks we individualise each lesson to meet the needs of the student.

N is for Never give up!

One of the biggest day-to-day issues children face is persevering through the hard work. When they find themselves frustrated, challenged, and overwhelmed, kids tend either shut down, or experience high levels of anxiety. To help curb these feelings and behaviours, it can be beneficial to help your child develop skills in perseverance.

Here are 1️⃣0️⃣ ways to encourage perseverance in your child:

1. Appreciate Them for Who They Are

2. Focus On Their Strengths

3. Start Small

4. Quick, Sincere Praise

5. Choose Reasonable Expectations

6. Find The Lesson

7. Show Them How to Plan Ahead

8. Show Growth

9. Cause and Effect

10. Have Them Help Others

R is for READING 📚

Early reading ignites creativity, sparks curiosity, and stimulates the imagination in young children. Often, this leads to role-play as children grow which helps to develop other skills such as empathy, problem-solving, and morality.

Spending time together while reading aloud helps to create strong parent-child bonds and promotes healthy brain development. Children that are read to tend to have improved language and listening skills, experience stronger emotional connections to their loved ones, and gain a lifelong love of reading.

Reading with children is an opportunity to support children to make meaning from texts, and to learn “how texts work”. Children can also “rehearse” their emergent literacy skills, for example concepts of print, phonological awareness and making meaning, through the supportive scaffolding from educators.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go. —Dr. Seuss

A is for Ability 🤩

Each student is an unique individual. They have different cognitive and affective development, social maturity, ability, motivation, aspiration, learning styles, needs, interests and potential.

Teachers at Learning Blocks strive to reach each of their students no matter how different the styles of learning may be.

Every student has been blessed with different abilities, talents and capabilities.

E is for Encouragement 🌸

Encouragement can help with self-confidence, effort, motivation, success, self-esteem and validation.

Encouragement is an important part of Learning Blocks. We allow our students the time to grow in their own learning, with the guidance of an experienced teacher. This means that students feel supported to work things out for themselves and confident to give it a try.

It is not only encouragement from a teacher/educator which will keep a student motivated and committed to their studies; parents have a great influence in their child's education and can empower them to strive for academic success.

Parents are the first, and often their greatest role model, therefor regular praise and encouragement will help your child develop confidence and belief in their own ability.

With this added self-confidence students will feel comfortable taking on new challenges at school and in their learning.

🌸Be enthusiastic.
🌸Praise your student/child often.
🌸Recognise them for their contributions.
