The Current Year 10 Thread Mark l (2019-2020)

:crown: :blow:

2004-2005 babies woooo! Hi, and welcome to the Year 10 thread! We are finally starting GCSE, join the others who are too! You can us this thread to discuss with other Year 10 what you’re doing and other things. Props to @Starlight15 for creating the Year 9 thread. Feel free to share any useful study threads, revision material or just post how you are feeling!
:hello:This is the thread to post anything to do with your Year 10 life, so feel free to moan, panic, or scream into your computer to your heart's desire. The important thing is, we're in this boat together, so this is the place to post that question you were too afraid to ask a bunch of strangers about or to vent at when something is getting you down, and maybe have some fun along the way!

-Notices: If you have anything to share, PM @ClubNeon and I can add it here for you.

RS is compulsory for us too, but we started in Year 9. Problem is we were told that what we were learning in Yr9 was important at the end of it, sooo let’s aim for 4 in RS. The past year we just messed around, no learning. I don’t care for it, only a 2 or three hours wasted a week - a free period to cool down, at least that’s how the entire year sees it.

I'm genuinely glad that somebody may eventually help me through my physics struggles and I can help them with the subject I enjoy. :yep:
Although don't ask me anything about marriage lol, that's my weakest spot. I had to do a speaking exam on it, and my goodness what an embarrassement. :blushing:
