Got my permanent badge today and now i can use it to scan in to parts of Sixth Form that lower school can't access. They didn't have the scanners active before today.

That’s good although annoying that it took so long

Hopefully you get the ipads soon then since you can't access school wifi from your laptop :sadnod:

Oh cool :woohoo:
Sorry. I forgot yesterday evening. I won't post on my GYG on Saturday Evening normally.
What I did Yesterday
Lesson 1-Geography-Learnt more about systems in Physical Geography.
Lesson 2-Study-Got badge and read part of History additional reading for homework.
Lesson 3-History-Learnt about Italy, it's problems and political system in the Late 1800s (I need an late 1800s Italian name for a Northern Italian (Male) industrial worker so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated for homework to prepare for a speech in class next lesson.) Local MP visited school and apparently (From somebody in my History class that does Politics) didn't answer questions clearly.

I did nothing yesterday evening and have done nothing today.

I need an late 1800s Italian name for a Northern Italian (Male) industrial worker so I can do my homework during study. I have decided not to go on the Iceland trip for the following reasons.

1.

Expensive-Will use money for Blackpool Pleasure Beach trip next month instead. £959 with £250 Deposit is expensive.

2.

I've never been abroad. Parents and I agree first experience abroad should be as a family.

3.

Independence. Still need help with some tasks like Brushing Teeth and Bathing.

I wanted to go but these reasons means that it's best not to go. However it might mean I do no fieldwork (with school).:bawling:

You could always do some volunteering to do fieldwork or something like that 🙂

I'll do fieldwork as you have to do independent fieldwork as part of your Geography NEA. I'm probably going to do a Human Geography NEA as collecting research is easier and I find human (Slightly) more interesting. My Physical Geography teacher said BTW, that what we did in class last week was the most difficult knowledge in the A-Level.

Cool! Was it hard? The NEA sounds fun

Not that hard. A little bit confusing but OK. It was about Positive Feedback, Negative Feedback and Dynamic Equilibrium.
What I did Today
Morning-Badge had bug so had to get Yr13 to scan me in (So embarrassing.:blushing:)
Lesson 1-Study-Did Italy Homework for History. Decided on name Vincenzo and wrote speech.
Lesson 2-Sociology-Did about Sociological Theories, Society over time and Diversity and Inclusion. Homework set for Monday next week to continue research started in lesson.
Lunch-Badge fixed
Lesson 3-Study-Finished and printed Italy Homework for History. Revised everything covered in all lessons so far.
Evening-Did Human Geography homework (I forgot about).
Also heard one of my teachers from GCSE shout at a YR12 sixth former that her 7 wasn't good enough and how she should've got an 8.
