Today I did some flashcards in the morning and also completed the second section of my MOOC. I still need to do the bio wider reading so I’ll do that now(ish…) . Update: I finished it although i did skim read a few paragraphs in one article as they weren’t very relevant to my interests and didn’t contribute much to the content we’re looking at in my opinion!
Ive got a free tomorrow and hopefully I can do my flashcards during that. I also have my first enrichment session!
Homework still to do:

Type up flashcards

Today I did some reading enrichment (basically just a lesson chilling this week which was nice) then I also had Biology in which we did microscopy- I was very proud of myself for participating in the practical 🙂

What i did today:

Made flashcards from last weeks class notes on proteins

Finally finished all my flashcards from my summer notes!!!

Started making notecards from last weeks Biology notes


Homework to do:

Biology Seneca

Finish class notes on types of microscope

Wider reading

Exam booklet (being given it tomorrow)

The portfolio task (also being set that tomorrow)

Finish doing notecards from last weeks class notes

Type up flashcards for my microscopes notes (once I’ve done them!)


Tomorrow Ive got Biology (doing another practical) then Physics (with a new teacher eek) and also I’ve got nature and eco club at lunch which will hopefully be fun. Praying for good weather. In the afternoon I’ve got a free so I’ll hopefully do my microscope notes then or the Seneca- mood dependant i guess! And after school Im mentoring/tutoring a younger student 🙂

A lot of things to do😭 best of luck xx

Today I had a practical in Bio which went very well 🙂 also had my first lesson with my new physics teacher- hes very passionate about his subject which is great! Sadly, nature and eco club got cancelled but i did end up going to the nature area anyway instead of working during my study lesson 🙃

What Ive done so far today:

Wrote up another notecard from last weeks class notes

Portfolio task I think in lesson (?)

What I hope to do this evening:

Microscope notes

More notecards

Flashcards

Homework still to do:

Type up bio notes into flashcards

Make some physics flashcards from todays PowerPoint

Biology Seneca

Biology wider reading

Practice questions? (We weren’t given them so that’s confusing!)

Tomorrow Ive got maths with another new teacher, in a computer science room?!? Very odd! Then Ive got a study period so I’ll hopefully do some Seneca or flashcards then. In the afternoon I have Physics and we’re starting some actual content so that’s exciting (and also scary as up till now Ive only really had Biology to worry about!)

Do you have 3 lessons of 100 minutes like me?

Yup!

Yup!
We could go to the same 6th Form as 3 lessons of 100 minutes is quite unusual.

Forget this as you went to 6th Form 5 days after me.

Would be funny though lol

ARRGGGHHHHH!!!! I have too much work to do 😵
My maths teacher who i had today is really nice though 🙂
Last night I did:

Microscope notes

Another notecard

Today I did:

Biology Seneca

All my Isaac physics work

Catch up on physics notes and flashcards

Caught up on flashcards

Still to do homework wise:

Biology practice questions

Biology portfolio task (sadly there was a different one)

Biology wider reading

Revision stuff I wanna do:

Make biology flashcards from Monday’s notes

Read ahead on some of the stuff I haven’t done in maths

Do some maths practice questions on simultaneous equations

I have physics tomorrow morning and then 2 study lesson which I will hopefully work during

Recently looked into GYGs and have decided to start one for the start of year 12. Welcome I guess!
I’m starting sixth form in about 2 weeks and taking Maths, Physics, Biology and an EPQ with the aim of studying something in ecology or zoology at uni. Im quite excited to start my subjects but also uncertain about starting sixth form!
I obviously just got my GCSE results (9999998886A) which I am very happy with!
Over the Summer Ive been mostly: going to nature reserves, trying different art techniques, building a website, working on my speed cubing, listening to a lot of music, doing my school’s set transition work (finished this yesterday) and preparing for my a levels with some CGP books.
I hope to stick with this and hopefully post at least once or twice a week with some goals for stuff I’ll be trying to do in the week to hold myself to account and maybe update on how I’m finding sixth form.
Happy to respond to any comments if anyone wants to interact :smile:

ecology/zoology sound super cool
Good Luck💜💙💜

Feeling a bit more confident about my workload now!
We started some actual content in physics (charge and current) which was nice and I liked how much freedom we were given in the practical part of the lesson when messing about with circuits 🙂
Today I did:

My maths baseline test (I did it during a study lesson instead of in class and it took me much less than the time limit which is a tiny bit worrying)

I typed up all the notes into flashcards from my morning physics lesson

Did all my flashcards for the day!

What Im aiming to do this evening:

Some of my biology homework (probably the wider reading and some of one of the booklets)

Read ahead on maths

Do some practice questions for maths

I will probably update later with all the stuff I still need to do as im unsure about what ill actually get done lol and im finding using this really helpful to keep track of what i should be doing in frees!
Tomorrow I’ve got another Physics lesson on the foundation stuff (a bit annoying as my other physics teacher has started proper content) Plus a maths lesson with a free for my third lesson (Ill hopefully do some biology work then!)

Call them "Study Periods" as it makes you do more work.

Haha, I’ll have to try that!
annoyingly I just realised that Ive left my Biology folder (containing all my homework!) at school earlier 😭

Nooo - that's why I'm a bit aprehensive about using my locker because I'm scared I'll leave smth important in there
