In August I only knew about States of Matter and Particles in a Solid , Liquid and Gas. At the beginning of the year , Science was never one of my best subjects but I can confidently say I have made a big improvement. My test went quite well and on my report , my grade is an M and I thought I’d get an S+.

As revision for at home , recently we have been set work on an app called ‘Educake’.

Once me and two of my friends went to dissection club and we cut a sheep's brain and it was very mushy and disgusting. It also smelt bad. We had many different tools to use and we could also see the different parts of the brain .

In english , we have been reading and doing work based on a book called ‘The Girl of Ink Stars’ and we always get starter tasks to help us recap about what we did last lesson. On my first formative , it was quite easy as we did revision the lesson before which was very similar to the test. Also we had a second formative and it was the same as the first formative and in that we had to write about three different quotes from an extract using our ‘What , How and Why’ techniques. With my second / most recent formative , it was similar to the first formative essay but with different quotes to talk about from 3 quotes picked from chapters further in the book and like we did in the last essay , we had to use our ‘What , How and Why’ writing frames to show how the main character is presented in this quote and to explain what the moral the writer is trying to explain when they added this in the book.

Before August i didn’t know how to...

Use writers techniques.

Add my ‘What , How and Why’ writing frames to back up my opinions.

Explain what techniques have been used in an extract / quote.

Analyze how characters are presented in a text.

Contain Pathos , Logos , Ethos and DAFOREST in speeches.

and…

Analyze what techniques people have used in their speeches , diary entries and books.

In Maths , we have been learning about algebra , HCF (highest common factor) , LCM (lowest common multiple) , prime numbers , prime decomposition , BIDMAS / order of operation , negative number which have been appearing in other topics too , pi , expanding brackets , angles in triangles , squares and circles , in parallel lines and laws of indices. I think I missed a few topics but overall , most of the topics have been going well but some have been a bit tricky so I practice them at home. On my first test , I found it easy but the last few questions were hard. My score wasn’t bad considering it included some things we have learnt yet. After the test my teacher gave each student in my class resources and a sheet listing the topics we got wrong and right so we know what our strengths a weaknesses are. In my most recent exam , it was easy with the first few questions , easy but more work to do in the middle of the exam , and the end was hard questions with lots of marks. With 58 marks to try and achieve , I dont think 60 minutes was enough time and quite a few of my friends and classmates could agree.

Before August i didn’t know how to…

Apply negative numbers in different topics as well as divide , multiply , subtract and add negative and negative numbers or with negative number and positive numbers.

Preform HCF and LCM.

Preform algebra in depth.

Find angles , areas , perimeters and the circumference of circles.

Find angles of triangles , rectangles , squares and parallel lines in depth.

Apply pi in my work.

Work with expanding brackets.

Work with order of operation / BIDMAS in depth.

Preform prime decomposition with or without it being in index form.

and…

Divide , Multiply , Subtract and Add simple sums with laws of indices.

As homework , my teacher sets homework on a website called ‘Sparx’. I always have my homework done on time as it is due weekly. On every question , there is a video to help us and teaches us the technique for that question if we ever get stuck. I find this website very useful and although their are quite a lot of questions because 2 weeks ago it took me around 1 and 1/2 - 2 hours to finish it but I did find it hard that time , it helps us recap on what we did in class. It does bookwork checks to make sure we that are writing the questions down. The more often we get the bookwork checks wrong , the more frequently the checks will come up and this goes as the opposite the more we pass the checks. He also sets revision on a site called ‘MathsWatch’.

My current grade is an S+ which was what I was expecting or an M.

I could improve my grade to an M by participating more in class.Sometimes the techniques get to my head a bit slower than others which is a disadvantage.

my class was preforming a practical where we had to find out when the water became fully saturated and could no longer dissolve anymore salt. So the practical went smoothly , we had to follow some steps. One of them being that we had to pour an equal amount of salt after every time the round of salt we poured before had dissolved. My group wasn’t sure on how to measure how much salt goes in the water so I had to demonstrate to them how to accurately measure. The leadership skills I showed was…

In History , I have been learning about…

What is History?

Sources (Primary + Secondary)

Chronology / Timelines

(Ancient) Civilizations

The Tollund Man

and…

The Roman Army

As this is my first year of doing History , I only knew about these topics briefly and not in-depth during the beginning of August. For homework , at the start of the year we never really got homework but towards the end of this term , we got more and our task was to finish off any of the incomplete work in lessons. My grade this term was an S and my ATL is 1. Even though I thought I’d get an S+ , S+ can still be my target for next term. To improve my score , I can participate more in class and upgrade the presentation of my work. As a test , my teacher wanted me to write an essay on The Tollund Man with us speaking as a police officer trying to explain what happened , why he died , who killed him and when did he die using evidence from sources to back our statements up. We also had a writing support to help us.

In Geography , I have been learning about…

4 figure grid refrences

6 figure grid refrences

and…

Map Skills

We haven’t done much as I only have geography once every week and have history times in a week.

In August , I never knew how to find a place/places on a map using 4 and 6 figure grid references. My class has only ever been assigned homework once which was to design our book so all my homework has been completed. My grade is an S+ and I’m hoping to bump it up to an M or keep my S+. My ATL is 1 so I would love that to stay. I recently had my test which went surprisingly well as it was announced the lesson we had it and I wasn’t confident about it beforehand. My score for the online test is 20/22 and on my written score I got 7/8 therefore my overall score was 27/30. I know where I went wrong and what I need to have a read over.

Since August in Languages , I have been learning about…

Sports

General Things

Subjects / Lessons

Weather

Food

and

Days of the Week

My scores for my tests weren’t that good so I won’t say them but my grade on my report was an S+ for both French and Spanish along with an ALT 2. To go from an S+ to an M next term I think I need to get better scores on my test and to get my ATL to a 1 , I need to participate more in class because I don’t think I have been doing so.

I currently have 36 positives. I am supposed to have 38 but my induction day ones didn’t count as points that i can spend on the class charts school. I have 0 negatives and am hoping to keep it that way. My attendance is 100% as of my report but I missed a day after the 17th of November therefore it doesn’t show on my Term 1 report but it might show on my Term 2 report. My goal is to achieve 50-60 by the end of Term 2.
