Younger children at the academy have been celebrating the holidays recently with lots of crafts and learning materials geared towards Halloween & Remembrance Day. It was been fun seeing their smiles as they partake in hands-on activities that involve learning. It has been a few years since children were able to actively participate in such things and it is such a joy to see children enjoy hands-on learning again.

Children can look forward to completing Christmas activities in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Although these activities are only implemented for our younger clients, not to worry as all our clients will get a Christmas goodie the last session before the holiday break.

]]><![CDATA[Our New Normal]]>Sat, 13 Jun 2020 22:06:32 GMThttp://www.niagaralearningacademy.com/blog/our-new-normalAs we wait for the go-ahead to reopen our doors, there have been many questions about what tutoring will look like moving forward. We pride ourselves on offering one-on-one services with tutors who are caring, understanding and personal with our clients. However, our new normal will now include face masks, desk spacing and more rules. Things will change, but we are going to do our absolute best to keep things fun and engaging for ALL our clients. We promise to do what it takes to make sure that your children still enjoy coming and that their lessons are still engaging.

As soon as we are ready to open again, we will be calling all of our clients to go over what changes have been made. Things that you can expect will include spaced out sessions (starting both on the hour and the half-hour mark), face masks, weekly health declarations, sanitation stations and 6ft space markers.

Until then, we hope that everyone is staying safe and busy. I miss all of our clients and I can not wait until we can return to teaching!

Manga is just basically a japanese graphic novel.
It’s just like a normal comic book except it’s all black&white and you need to read in backwards (left to right). Most mangas are based on anime.
What you need to do first is make a cover.
You can draw a picture that will draw people’s attention (not in a weird way).
Like this.

Then you need to make a page that shows characters.
Like this.

Then you need to draw a picture and draw some sound effects.
You need to make speech bubbles. But you don’t need to color it.

These tips will help to make a great manga comic book. Please show me your work. I would love to see it.

Personally, my favorite manga is called Fairy Tail. It’s based on wizards.
The reason why I like this manga is because it’s based on anime, so we can watch it on TV. And because the background is Medieval times.
THe main character of the story is called Natsu.
Natsu is a dragon slayer, but tha’ts not because he slays dragons.
He was raised my a fire dragon, and his magics are strong as a dragon.
