Learning To Be More Confident In My Ability : Year 10 GYG

Quick question - are you a Yorkshire baby? And Junior Doctors sounds like something I'd love to watch!

i’m not from yorkshire myself but my family is - why did you ask?

yeah it’s great! i love it! good luck for your test, try not to procrastinate *hehe*

Were you visiting family? Millie's cookies and Pandora remind me of White Rose shopping centre

haven’t done any studying today!
i have probably won’t until i’m back at school on monday now, but i was happy at how much i was able to do tomorrow since i have nothing set as homework or revision

let me know how you’re all getting on!

i look forward to hearing from you; anya

Hope you had a nice day! For half of the day i've been trying to make a stop motion vid to promote my stem project....taking me ages yelp😂😂😂😂😂😂

yikes! what is your stem project about?
i hope you get it done soon 😊
they had a stem club at my school in years 7-9 which i never joined but i feel like if they started it again i might want to join... hmm idk?

My stem project is about dissipated energy because i've been intrigued by physics so im doing my project on that(lol). And thank you! I also hope i finish this stop motion soon....its driving me nuts!😂
How was your day?xxx

Wow, there are so many great GYG blogs this year, and this is definitely one i'll be checking up on throughout the year! I love how this is about becoming more confident in your ability rather than obsessing over grade 9s (although your targets are very impressive!!), and that's such a healthy mindset to have- especially in year 10. Good luck this year, and also in 2019!

Also happy belated birthday! I hope you had a good day!

Hello! Welcome!

wow, I’ve only been on the student room a few days now but i’ve decided to take a plunge and start a GYG... year 10 is a tough year - no, not as tough as the years that follow - but it’s still tough. already, less than a few weeks into my gcse courses i’m struggling with motivation. i’m hoping this GYG will help me to connect with other like-minded people and you can follow my journey of growing confidence and motivation to study and achieve the best i can!

the gcses i have taken and the grades i want are:


i’m not 100% sure what i want to do when i’m older but at the moment i’m thinking either Medicine or Sports Science! it really depends on the grades i get and the opportunities i have etc.
i’m not 100% on my a-levels either, luckily i’ve got some time to think but it’s probably between chemistry, biology, maths, physics, pe, spanish (i know i can’t take all of these!!!! they’re just what i’ve whittled it down to)

so... i hope you enjoy this! it’s half term right now and i’ve got limited homework and a very busy week (it’s my 15th birthday very soon!!) but please connect with me on this GYG, i’m excited for what’s to come; anya

Hey! I'm in the same year as you, i have similar target grades too! looking forward to this chat being active I've been pretty productive today, but thats just making up for the fact i've done almost nothing this half term haha

Nice blog there!

monday 30th october

productive day at school today! got some test results back too

ENGLISH
first lesson was english and we got our english language paper 1 mocks back! (AQA) I was managed to do a lot better than I expected to...
here's a breakdown of the results :


MATHS
ahhh i hate maths, but no work today as we got our first termly tests back!

RE
my teacher is really old and subsequently teaches a bit old fashioned...
my school is catholic so RE is a core subject (woooooooo)
but we have gr8 banter in this class and today was funny apart from my awful cold!
we were doing catholic beliefs about salvation and grace so had a bit of a class discussion and did some mindmaps but nothing more...

we have our unit 1 test soon on beliefs and teachings so i need to start revising!!! eeeeek...

BIOLOGY
my teacher started off ranting at us for not completing checklists and revising but lol no (we have no tests to revise for just yet, let me revise when i actually have a test!) i'm top set triple so the lesson is at a really fast pace, didn't get much done so i have to catch up ugh (she gives us no time)
anyways, i have some exam questions, research and mindmaps to do on heart diseases and problems! (actually like this thoooo)

SPANISH
i lovvvveeeee spanish and i'd like to pursue it to a-level, our class is tiny and so nice and the lessons are so chill! today we did more work on verbs and then wrote a piece about 'what we did in the holidays' CLASSiC looool

mad day really - pleased with tests results so far! now got to plan my revision for RE, biology & physics, catch up my biology stuff and revise for a PE test tomorrow! im not even sure if i'll be well enough because i have a cold and i've got really muffled hearing uhhhh - in year 8 i missed 3 weeks because i went deaf (hopefully this won't happen again ahah)

see y'all soon - i've got a lot to do!
adios; anya

Have you already started doing mocks because my school only does them at the end of the year (year10)?
