Huge holiday learning menu at ICE
E
Hit the ground running when school starts
ducators at ICE are offering a huge learning menu in January to stimulate your child’s mind and have them primed for success in Term 1, 2016.
The 7 Habits of Successful Children course is perfect for those children who have completed EQ4KIDZ and want to move to a more positive, healthy and successful pathway.
The Going for Gold Academic Boost course for maths and literacy will raise academic standards and help children prepare for a successful school year. All children are individually assessed and placed in appropriate learning programs.
Art from the Heart is a new art course that utilises a balanced art approach. Students learn techniques and study famous artists while expressing their creativity through a huge range of art techniques.
The Creative Writing Program is built around sensory experiences and visualisations to stimulate the imagination. It will get even the most reluctant writers loving this area. Children will write their own books and produce a magazine of their work. The Young Scientists Program is full of experiments and learning about the natural world and will whet your child’s appetite for learning and increase their enthusiasm and knowledge in this important area. EQ4KIDZ is a fully researched emotional intelligence course and is designed to help children feel more positive and motivated and to raise their self-esteem and resilience. The program leads to an “I can!” attitude and translates into higher academic success.
PRICELESS
Transition to Formal Learning is an enormously successful course that helps children make the transition from K to PP or PP to Grade 1. This course is transformative and gets children reading, writing and doing basic maths in no time! The full range of Victoria Carlton’s pre-school programs are also available (2 -5 years) and all use Victoria Carlton’s unique learning programs with the Jolly Phonics approach. Victoria Carlton and educators from ICE wish all readers a wonderful Christmas season and look forward to helping students and families in 2016!

ithout academic stimulation, children can regress rapidly over the long summer break. Extra help in the two weeks before term one starts makes a huge difference and boosts selfesteem. For many years, students from all over Western Australia, have been attending A1 Learning Academy or have individual home tuition for a range of interesting, entertaining and educational holiday programs including: • Reading, writing, spelling and maths • Self-esteem and confidence boosting • Study skills • Remediation and extension • Essay writing and editing • Handwriting and presentation • Preparation for Scholarship, GATE, NAPLAN and OLNA testing Feedback received from parents and students shows just how effective the holiday programs have been. “We were worried about Adam going into high school
in Year 7 but he got so much value out of the holiday program and has done really well in Year 7.” Chloe and Damien The Pre Primary and Year 1 students who attended the transition program in 2015 were off to a flying start in T erm 1. They covered reading, writing, spelling, phonics and maths and massively boosted their self-esteem. They didn’t want to go home at the end of each session! The Years 7 to 10 students responded very well to the Study Skills program, which helps with organisation, essay writing, research skills and many other skills necessary for success in high school. The maths program gives them tremendous insight into difficult concepts, such as algebra. Comprehensive academic assessments, reports and term programs are also available. All programs are based on the current Australian Curriculum requirements. Contact Julia on 0411 420 218 for more information or visit www.a1learningacademy.com.au
