Year 10 involves a lot of hormones. You're growing a lot this year. Maybe Lewis from your Maths class fancies you. Maybe you're not friends with Louise any more because she blanked you on Snapchat. Who knows? :iiam:

However, at some point you are going to need to remember and recall the things you have learnt this year. That time will come in the summer of 2026 in an exam hall on a warm afternoon, but from now: things start to count. :afraid:

How can you best make use of your time?
- Attendance. Not feeling too well? Have 2 paracetamol and come into school anyway. Avoid the curry at lunch and you'll be fine. You'll be sorry if your exercise books are missing bits of information when you come to reading them back for revision next year.

- Keep everything. Don't throw away any worksheets, booklets, textbook photocopies, exercise books. Keep it all and keep it tidy. This year is about getting some knowledge - including in physical form.

- Have fun. Despite all the scary words in this post this is still not the big crunch time yet. Stay relaxed, get into yoga, go swimming, spent time with your friends (always wear protection).

- Keep calm. Now is not the time to have a massive row with a teacher for confiscating your phone or your earrings (boys). Now is the time to show your maturity, breathe a little and rise above the situation. You're better than that.

Give it some beans everyone. :happy2:

I always hated English. I didn't do any of the same options as you all the way to the exams (I took Spanish but then dropped it for personal reasons). I have now got back into learning Spanish though!

I did German and Spanish, but dropped Spanish midway through Year 11. I didn't do PE for GCSE so didn't have to do a sport outside of school (which is a good job because I am terrible at sport). I had mandatory PE which was just doing whatever exercise was on offer in that particular lesson.

I didn't get a choice about doing German technically, although it was treated like an options subject. I had to pick between geography and history, and I picked geography. I also did music which was my favourite subject. My school made me do RS as a compulsory subject though as well.
