The Current Year 11 Chat Thread (2019-2020)

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a job when you're 15???

omg that's what I'm trying to do!! people are saying dog walking but everyone I know walks their own dog!
tell me if you find anywhere?

It's possible (you need a work permit and can only work 12 hours a week i think). I know whsmith and boots hire 15 year olds

hiya I'm taking: obviously all the core subjects but my choices are triple science, geography, French, Arabic, music, re, further maths and statistics I'm predicted all 8s I want to get all 9s or as close to as possible ive gotten an a* already in Arabic I want to go to 6th form to study biology chemistry maths and further maths so I can go to medical school I'm so scared for year 11 it's actually ridiculous At the start of year 10 i was pretty relaxed until Christmas when i actually realised how scary GCSEs actually are then i turned into the nervous wreck that i am today I love gymnastics, horse riding, music, reading, netball my fave subject is Biology and Chemistry (not physics, that subject can just go and die) I hate English I revise different ways for different subjects but mainly auditory

good luck! we do such similar subjects...(english is the bane of my existence... it takes years to revise)

ughhhhh I can't express how much I hate the subject! All the essay plans and annotations plus the context we need to remember The poems are what I struggle the most in

i can help you with that (which poems do you do?).
i just hate the work, so much effort and your work is still never perfect

Dulce et Decorum Est (Wilfred Owen)
The Soldier (Rupert Brooke)
Mametz Wood (Owen Sheers)
A Wife in London (Thomas Hardy)
The Manhunt (Simon Armitage) She Walks in Beauty (Lord Byron)
Valentine (Carol Ann Duffy)
Sonnet 43 (Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
Cozy Apologia (Rita Dove) Death of a Naturalist (Seamus Heaney)
To Autumn (John Keats)
Excerpt from The Prelude (William Wordsworth)
Hawk Roosting (Ted Hughes)

London (William Blake)
Afternoons (Philip Larkin)
Living Space (Imtiaz Dharker)
As Imperceptibly as Grief (Emily Dickinson)
Ozymandias (Percy Bysshe Shelley) and as a perfectionist its horrible

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a job when you're 15???

i’ve got a job in the kitchen in a local restaurant. tbh you really just have to put yourself out there, the worst they can do is say no and your life is no different! even if places don’t say they’re hiring, go in and ask! it shows initiative and pro-activeness already! gl with the job hunt!
