Unfortunately I still have the same form teacher I was expecting this but was hoping not to. So now I have to put up with a teacher who shouts for no reason, is late 4 days out of 5, is patronising and treats us like 6 year olds for another year.
•
My new history teacher seems to be good. We're starting our controlled assessment but she actually spent the time going round looking at our summer homework etc. which even our previous teacher (who was amazing) kept forgetting.
•
In electronics we're getting close to doing our practical controlled assessment rather than the theory Parts ordered have arrived, so we just have to complete the design phase before we can do the circuit boards
•
Started P3 in Physics, not terribly interesting but it's good to get started on it.
•
In computing we now have the deadline of 30/9/16 for the traditional scenario. It's not long, but hopefully with some after school sessions I should be able to do it. I got 33/63 (C) when he marked it with the 36 marker barely started so I should be able to pull that up to the 54 minimum I need for an A* (Actually, now I've written that I'm quite worried I won't be able to...)
•
In English we have started reading blood brothers. It seems quite good, although I'm remembering how much I hate reading books in English... all the stopping and starting. We haven't even got past the end of the first page yet!
•
For business our new teacher seems ok. One bad thing is that the hand over from our last teacher doesn't seem to be very smooth. He has no clue where we're supposed to be, or that he's supposed to be marking and giving us feedback for our controlled assessment next week! Unfortunately that could make my grade suffer quite a bit, as there were certain bits I wasn't sure on, so I was relying on the feedback to know if they were ok or not.
•
We started our biology ISA finally! Did the first part of the CRN today then we'll finish them on Monday. Sooo glad we have the HOD!
•
In maths we got our PIXL papers back. I'm not going to post my scores until the grade boundaries come through though as I don't have any type of standardisation for my scores which means I'm not sure if I'm happy or not with them tbh. One of them is definitely lower than I would like, but I'm really happy with another one
•
In chemistry we have started C3. The periodic table is the first topic so we're doing presentations on them, then I assume we'll love onto hard and soft water (oh that sounds really interesting...not)
•
We had our first enrichment on Friday. My enrichment is current affairs politics and we were discussing the Grammar school debate (and our teacher was telling us about his experience lol). Some of the class definitely don't want to be there!
•
In chemistry we did our presentations and got an A lol, it was a bit silly really because everyone was presenting using the same information so there wasn't really any point sitting there listening to the same thing being said over and over again but oh well lol
•
We got past the first page in English! lol
•
We were promised our English PIXL results by today but PIXL haven't sent them yet so we couldn't have them
•
Our last English lesson of the week is now going to be poetry. We also got our assessments back. I was really happy about my 16/30 (I knew it was awful because it took me 3 hours to write one paragraph of one page...). A third of our class got less than 10 though, so we have to redo it lol (though actually in 45 minutes this time
•
We had cover for biology and were set work to start B3...Osmosis. Certainly made me realise how much I didn't understand diffusion last year...
•
More work on lenses in physics. Wasn't very exciting but oh well
•
We've been banned from practise questions in maths...sort of contradicts the sheet full of practise rational expressions he set us last Monday...
•
Started our controlled assessment for business. Hopefully I'm on track to finish it (44 minutes in out of 120 and have written 1.3k/3k words)
