During the Easter Holidays

During the holidays I suggest that students try and get three revision sessions done each day. Each session should be based around the idea of "Prepare It!", "Learn It!" and "Test It!" and is likely to last around one and a half hours. There is guidance on how to plan these sessions in the revision planner which all students have been given and which can be downloaded in the post below.

What students should be doing this week (w/b March 26th)

This week students should be getting any outstanding work out of the way ready to have a really run at revision over the Easter Holidays. They should use their planners to create a timetable of around three sessions per day during the hliday, using the "Prepare It", "Learn It", "Test It" approach. Any student who wants additional help or guidance in using this method can see Mr Taylor in his office next to TC1.
