Official Year 10 Chat Thread 2024-25

Hiii I haven't been revising a lot lately cuz I can't really find motivation so I just wanted to ask – how is your revision going guys and what's motivating you (or if you're not motivated we can relate) because hopefully that will help me get back on track 🙃

Hiii,
My names Zunairah I'm also in year 10

How do you pronounce your name

It's pronounced zun-er-a

The fear of failure is motivation for me. Every time I procrastinate I just think of my dream of going to Oxford of Cambridge for uni and how much of a failure I would be if I failed all my GCSEs and how horrible it would be for me. If I study now I can relax later but if I don't study now I'll regret it later on and that motivates me to study harder.

Pls can i have help on history homework!!!!!

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?
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.
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.

What's the homework about?

1) My favourite subjects are english, history, science and citizenship
2) triple science, history, citizenship, spanish
3) the big bang theory, young sheldon and georgie and mandys first marriage (i watch them sometimes though)
4) classical music mostly, but sometimes songs like "things can only get better"
5) pizza is quite nice
4)

OMG!
I did Citizenship in Yr9. I got a grade 8, so if u need help, ask

My fav subject is history.
Options are:
Im basically doing IGCSE Edexcel for most of my subjects apart from English Literature (CIE World Literature)
I dont have a fav show but I really like any marvel film (esp the latest spiderman film)
I listen basically anything but I do enjoy classical, pop and rap all the time!
I love potato salad )))

Hi I do Edexcel iGCSE too

Hey!
1) My fav subjects are History and English
2) Maths (set 1), English, Triple Science (😢), History, RS, German
3) My fav. film is Interstellar by Christopher Nolan!
4) Mostly pop/rock songs. I like Maneskin, the Neighbourhood, the Weeknd, Lana del Rey and Billie Eilish.
5) I don't have a fav food, but when I go to a restaurant I always pick Bolognese (Idk why)
I also have a question, is anybody here doing RS/RE as well? How do you find it? I am good at humanity subjects however RE feels different. It feels like all the questions are written in code and I have to decode them or something...😭😭😭
