KE Academy's Chinese (Mandarin) class has been taught in the top ten primary schools in NSW for more than one semester and received positive feedback from parents.

We combine listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The children learn while playing, and more prominently, we incorporate calligraphy practise, historical background stories, Chinese program understanding and life combination, improve learning enthusiasm, and tap the child's unlimited potential.

Our Chinese class keeps three principles. First is consider every child’s interest in teaching. Second is to master the correct methods in learning. And the third is to entertain the children, while giving a tailored learning experience.

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!

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.
