Original post by hannahrobinsxn
Today, I went back to school - yey.
Got my year ten exam timetable and revision lists.
Tonight I began revising.
I have begun with 'Biology-Plant Biology' - have a test on that next week also.
Managed to revise:
-Gas exchange.
-How leaves are adapted to gas exchange.
-Structure of flower and functions.
-Pollination.

(I made 20 flashcards.)

Also reviewed work for three of my friends, which helped improve my skills in regards to proofreading. It took way longer than expected. I am happy to review work for anyone (if they would like me to!)


Well done you've done a lot :biggrin:

I didn't managed to do that much today because I had to stay in school to finish my coursework.
I've done:-
P3 and B4- looked at common mistakes and read the specification for B3
Maths- cones and spheres, negative enlargement
French listening past paper- 27/40 which is disappointing. Looked at mistakes
A Christmas carol stave 1 revised in the morning
ICT- review on impact on organisations and home entertainment


well done also - and don't worry about the French paper, just learn from it :biggrin:

Well done :smile: and very well done on the mock :biggrin:
Hey guys,

I just got that sample photo of the one where you all stand in rows that ascend. The end of year 11 photo. However, everyone looks weird in the sample given. It's from the photography company. Everyone's mouth is open and some people have their eyes closed. I look ok but not my best and I know I looked better in the other photo that they had taken. The sample photo states that:

'The Proof is only a guide.'

Does this mean that this is only for reference and is not the one they are going to provide after purchase ? It would make sense since everyone would just expand the sample and not bother to purchase the one from the company.



By the way, my revision in going great. I just haven't updated you guys because I've been so busy due to rehearsals for my Drama exam. It's next week. I've been coming in at around 7 because of that.

Hey again - long time no speak :smile:

I think the thing it states is probably an attempt to stop people expanding the sample, so that they actually order. And I hope everything is going well with revision and rehearsals - good luck for it next week and let us know how you get on :biggrin:

If you have time after you've done your drama next week you could always update us with what you've been up to, if you like :smile:

Once again good luck :smile:

(I had my photo taken at the start of Year 11 - strange)

So the sample is one of many shots that they take and is not the exact one that will be provided ?

Yes, I will definitely update you guys after the exam.

Thanks. I wish you guys the best of luck as well.

More than likely yes, but there is no guarantee if they are all like the sample with eyes closed/mouths open etc

If I were you I'd try ringing the company or checking with the school :smile:

I'll just wait for them to frame the photo on the wall and then I'll know what I'll get when I purchase it. Thanks.
