📣 **Join our Chess and Checkers Club!** ♟️🎉

Every Saturday from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM, we learn to think strategically and play chess and checkers!

Last week, our young chess players had mini-tournaments, and they did great!

"Playing chess with a coach is one thing, but managing the game by yourself is another. These kids showed real courage and sportsmanship!"

We are happy to see our girls using smart strategies, and our boys bringing energy and excitement to the game. This is just the beginning of our fun journey into the world of chess and checkers!

Join us every Saturday to improve your skills and enjoy the game! 🤝

🌟 What an interesting science lesson we had last Saturday! 🌟

Our little students (who are already scientists) studied electricity! ⚡️ We learned about conductors and electrical circuits, and all the kids asked good and interesting questions. There were some children who could undoubtedly have taught the lesson themselves because they knew everything about conductors, circuits, and transistors!

The phrase of the day was, “Why is it called an Electricity Circle - it doesn’t look round?” How do you explain to a child that an electrical circuit is not round at all, especially since they understood that everything should go in a circle! The word "circuit" came to the rescue. Isn’t that great? Such questions!

The kids were eager to answer, and we tried to ensure everyone had a chance to contribute. It was truly breathtaking to see how much our children know! They are so smart! The boys and girls studied, experimented, and tried things out with great interest!

But the most exciting part was, of course, the experiments! 🎉 Our children enthusiastically modeled, tested, and launched their working electric models.

It’s so joyful to observe how these little kids try, comprehend, and begin to understand the principles of batteries, electrical circuits, and happily come to their own conclusions, exclaiming "Eureka!" as they make discoveries. 💡

We are confident that this lesson sparked interest and curiosity that will only grow and fuel further exploration of science!

Thank you to all the parents, kids, and teachers for your participation and interest! We look forward to new meetings with you and new experiments!

There are two more science lessons left on Saturdays, 23 & 31st May from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
