Empowering Young Learners with Computational Thinking
Empowering Young Learners with Computational Thinking At Chiswick House School, we've embarked on an exciting journey to empower young learners with computational thinking and practical coding skills. Partnering with European allies in the ERASMUS+ project, we're crafting an unplugged board game that's not just fun but also fosters crucial CT competencies. ( www.cthinkit.eu ) Recently, our team joined fellow partners in Thessaloniki for an enriching Train the Trainer workshop, diving deep into CT concepts and game-based learning. Check out the highlights: Day 1: Immersed in Computational Thinking, hands-on activities, and exciting game exploration! Day 2: Explored board game mechanics, finalised lesson plans, and had insightful discussions. Day 3: Reflective sessions, planning for in-school training, and kicking off pilot projects! Now, our master trainers are gearing up to spread the excitement by training teachers in early years in using the board game. Stay tuned for updates as we prepare to test and refine our creations, paving the way for a brighter, more innovative future!
Kindai High School 20th Anniversary Visit
Kindai High School 20th Anniversary Visit This year marks the 20th anniversary of a project in which St Martin’s College once again hosted a group of students from its sister school in Osaka, Japan. This project enables Students from Kindai High School to engage in intensive English lessons with teachers from EC Language School as well as integration lessons with students from St Martin’s College. As part of this year’s special celebration, students from Kindai High School buried a time capsule in our soil. Each student placed a rolled-up sheet of paper inside the capsule to commemorate their visit. Their time capsule will be unveiled in 10 years from now, in 2034. Well done to all for participating and to those who organised the activity!

These experiences enable them to deepen their understanding of the environment and the ecosystem. These creative experiments in nature foster a sense of environmental stewardship and lifelong appreciation for the natural world. Through Nature Matters, we aim to promote physical activity, to cultivate a sense of wonder and to enhance education by making it more engaging and holistic.
