Dear Student / Parent / Carer,

 

Recorded below is a list of the range of weekly support sessions that we have on offer to help you to be as prepared as you can be in the run up to the final exam period in May.

These sessions are open to any student who would like support, meaning that you can drop in when you need to, unless your teacher has told you that you must attend.

There are also additional sessions for Art but these are not on a weekly basis like the sessions above. These Art sessions are all at 3-4.30 in Ar1 on the following dates: 9/3, 13/3, 23/3, 27/3

 

Please make use of these sessions. Many are designed for you to drop in and get support with areas of the course that you feel you need help with. If you get this support and it helps to close any gaps in your knowledge and understanding then you will be more effectively prepared for the exams in the summer. We will be offering a mini bus service to Lynemouth after a number of the sessions to support student attendance.

 

Revision is most effective when it is done over a long period of time. With only two whole months remaining until the start of the final exam period you should now be ready to start the revision process. Remember that the best way to revise is to follow the 3 Way Revision Process outlined below.

 

1	Learn	Re-write or condense your class notes; Make flash cards showing the most important information; Create mind maps or flow charts of topics to show how information relates to other information. Put these sheets up around your house.
2	Revise	Go over your notes and try to further condense them; Reduce them to key words or dates or formulae; Try to copy your mind maps or flow charts from memory. Read your flash cards as often as you can
3	Test	Write one word on flash cards and try to fill in as much information as you can from memory; Do past paper questions and use the mark schemes to see how you have done; Talk to people about a topic and tell them everything that you know

 

There is and will be plenty of revision material placed for you on Google Classroom and in many subjects you have use of other learning platforms such as Seneca Learning and Edi and some subjects may also provide you with revision booklets. Making use of these resources will help to make your revision easier. If you are unsure about anything then please see your teachers. They will be happy to help you.

 

Remember, the path to success begins with making the decision to try.

 

Good Luck,

Mr Line
