so now that us year 11s don't have any exams to prepare for, what are your plans?
my school has totally stopped for year 11s and we just went in for a final assembly this morning. i don't think my teachers are setting work either as there isn't any point. is that similar to other schools?
we seem to have an extra 3 months now, so whats a good way to spend our time in isolation?
personally, i think i'm just going to prepare for A levels, read, and spend a lot of time doing art. i never really have the time to create my own pieces as they're usually for school so i'm excited to have so much time to explore!
next year i will be doing art, latin, classical civilizations and GPR (the Cambridge Pre-U). my Latin teacher is amazing and said she will give us a list of first year vocab for us to have a look at, so i will definitely get a head start and learn some of that while keeping up my prose translation. for classical civ, i already have many classical texts (from ovid, virgil, homer etc) so im planning to try and get through them. and then i'll obviously keep up art
on the side, i am quite interested in doing some extra learning and online courses. does anyone know a good site for this? i know there is a lot of free courses on OpenLearn, but i'm just wondering if there is a way to get any full qualifications in this time.
also, i know next year i want to begin Gold Arts Award as my school offers it and i have already completed Explore, Bronze and Silver. i could possibly start writing that! i could possibly start researching for GPR too.
also as a bit of fun (or just me being incredibly bored) my teacher gave us some Ancient Greek GCSE books, so i might have a look at that!! ive never done it before but i would like to try as i want to do a classics degree at uni
how about you guys? how are you spending this time and how is your school reacting?
