Unlock Your Child's Genius!
Extra-curricular courses at Thames British School
Thames British School together with Akademia IECC offers extra-curricular clubs on campus. We help children develop and maintain a good learning attitude. We aim to lay the foundations for our pupils to improve the world they will inherit through promoting resilience, cooperation, and enthusiasm within a safe and caring community. Our experienced teachers will make learning easier for your child.
Abakus Mental Arithmetic
Mental Arithmetic is a tested method of developing a child's academic abilities and creative thinking in a balanced way, allowing them to reach their full intellectual potential.
At the beginning of the course, an abacus is used for children to learn the necessary techniques. Later on, children learn to do calculations in their head by forming a mental image of a number on the abacus and can do all mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) with any numbers in mind.
Robotics
Robooky Robotics is a branch of technology that deals with the making, programming, and designing of robots. Robotics courses will teach children valuable concepts in engineering and physics, allow them to experiment with their ideas, expose them to the process of designing a product to complete a specific job, and show them that many times there is more than one correct solution to the same problem.
While working in design teams, students will take on the roles of different engineers. Together they will build and program their robot to conquer the challenge given.
Coding
Coding, or computer programming, is a creative process programmers perform to tell a computer how to perform a task. At its foundation, it involves writing computer programs using programming languages.
Kids computer programming courses using games, apps, and other kid-centric projects is a research-based approach that has been proven to teach real world skills in a way that keeps students engaged. Coding for kids begins with drag-and-drop visual programming. Once they've learned the basics, kids can transition to more traditional programming languages.
Brain Fitness Games
Brain Fitness games are a wonderful way to tease and challenge your brain. Brain Fitness games can all improve your brain's speed and memory. These games rely on logic, word skills, math, and more.
These games are also fun. We believe that gamification makes the learning process more meaningful and motivating. That's why throughout the whole course we use various board games, physical movement, and logic games. Every game has been tested by our team to make sure it meets our high standards.
Chess
Our programme incorporates class lessons, group work, individual problem-solving, and various forms of tournament play to reinforce and evaluate chess abilities at each skill level. It is most important that children be placed in the correct level to ensure maximum benefit of the programme.
Graduates of the programme learn the full range of tactical skills (pins, forks, skewers, etc); are introduced to the opening, middle, and endgame theory; are capable of in-depth analysis of their own and others' games; are familiar with chess notation; and finally, are knowledgeable of the range of resources that are available to continue to improve their games after the classes finish.
Instrumental Music - Guitar, Piano, and Drums
We offer a variety of other instrumental courses, for children to enable them to enjoy the instrument of their choice. All courses are carefully designed and developed to enable students to make a positive start with first musical experiences and to support them in the development of their skills. Particular emphasis is placed on developing musical creativity for each student.
Learning music improves concentration, memory, imagination and the development of fine motor skills. The supportive environment of our small group lessons enables children to grow in self-confidence as well as enhancing their listening, collaborative and non-verbal communication skills.
Art - Painting and Drawing
Creating art expands a child's ability to interact with the world around them, and provides a new set of skills for self-expression and communication. Not only does art help to develop the right side of the brain, it also cultivates important skills that benefit a child's development.
Judo and Kickboxing
