So if you didn't know already I did a GYG blog last year, I am going to continue it this year and I have entered the competition this time! If you don't want to read lots of last year's blog then in short what happened is it was around February when I started and I was thinking about my options then. I did a blog for the end of year exams too which went great and I am in a good position in the year. Basicially, I started from the bottom sets and worked my way up and doing these blogs helped me motivate myself and also reading others did too.

If you're new the blogs go like this. I do updates every Monday and Friday during term time and holidays depends on what's going on. So if I have exams after this half-term for example I would maybe do a blog everyday, the least...every other day.

So I hope you enjoy this blog! :smile:

Update 25/01/16

So today, like every Monday, was quite boring. It was also a bit uneventful but I do have some news.

•

I have a test this week for Physical Geography, I will probably revise tomorrow for it. I pretty much know how to answer the questions I just got to know case studies and facts and etc.

•

Biology we just went through some worksheets and the teacher told us everyone achieved their target grade or better in that test which is really good for the set.

•

English was quite boring, we just made more notes on Jekyll and Hyde.

•

My Physics teacher was on duty at the gates today and I asked him how well I did, he said compared to the rest of the class, not too bad, but others did a lot better than me. I think I got a B - I don't think I got an A because I thought some questions were pretty hard and it really knocked my confidence for the rest of the test.

You will find out on Friday what happened. You might also find out what I got in Chemistry, that is if my Chemistry teacher actually marks it... he's quite unpredictable.

Update 29/01/16

I am in London right now so it isn't set up like before. This week hasn't been too bad:

•

We have a Maths test on the 9th February which is only on two chapters.

•

I haven't got my results for Chemistry yet, I am assuming we will get it next week Friday.

That's pretty much it. All I got to say is... London is crazy busy, way more busy than Birmingham! :biggrin:

I love it!

We're doing the maths challenge if our teacher remembers to find out what time it is (which is relatively doubtful considering most the class got forced to do it and don't want to do it so won't remind him)

I don't want to do it either! Lol. My teacher knows the time and told us so I can't miss it unlike you so that sucks. I might need to revise for that too, I don't want to do terrible if I have to do it so... might aswell.

Our teacher is a bit funny and he managed to delete all emails on it before the school had paid so they signed us all up for it. tbh I'd have probably signed up to it if it wasn't for the fact it's over a meeting I really shouldn't miss and now I have to :frown:

Our teacher would have completely forgotten if it wasn't for the fact we did a revision session with set 2 and one of them reminded him (set 2 chose to do it to get out of lessons).
Last year I got 2nd best in the school despite being the lowest year group doing it (and the top person was a year 9 too). 5 got into the next round (4 boys and 1 girl- 2 from year 9 and 3 from year 10). tbf the year 11s deliberately flunked it as it was over their last English coursework lesson and the teacher said they had to turn up so they turned up and had an hour sleeping or drawing lol. Our teacher said that as long as we solved one question we could sleep for the rest (he thinks it's a waste of time :s-smilie:
