Countdown! The KS3 Mock Week
These posters have been popping up around the department for the last week or so...
In a week Y7&8 will be tested on what they have learnt throughout the year. One question that has been echoing down the corridor is: "...but sir we are not taking Geography next year so why do we need a test?" This may well be true for a number of Y8s, however the Humanities department believes that having a summer mock week will prepare you to perform better when the real exam week starts in Y11.
With recent changes to the GCSE (or potentially the I-level) more pressure will be placed on you to achieve the best result with only one chance. Therefore the mock week is here to give you the opportunity to practise the art of revision and time management. These tests are not all about your ability in a certain subject, but also about how you can cope with a number of subjects demanding deadlines all at once.
Hopefully over the course of this week you will have created a revision timetable and learnt about all the different methods and techniques available to your personal learning style. Below is an example of a 'learning poster,' produced by Beth Miller Y8 who is certainly managing her commitments well.
Good Luck

3D Contour Lines with Y7
As a department we have decided to use this webspace as a site to not only keep you up to date with recent geography news and relay messages about homework deadlines etc, but to also highlight the excellent examples of learning happening all around school.
One example is a recent Y7 homework project. The brief was to create a 3D map using the various methods of showing relief on a map, and below are some of the superb examples in this week.
Well done all!
