GHS Connect #29 Tuesday 9 May
Mia's notes
Welcome back after another long weekend. I hope that everyone had a lovely time.
Thank you very much to everyone for your exceptionally hard work in this final push as we move towards exam season. It can be a stressful time for everyone, staff and students alike, but as I said in last week’s Connect, the important thing to focus on at this time is drilling the key concepts that will be most beneficial to students. Information overload should be avoided at this stage. They can’t now know it all, if they don’t already, but they can hone what they do know along with a few other new nuggets for bonus marks!
This week, I also wanted to draw everyone’s attention to some KS3 reminders that Amandeep Phull has been working on:
- Year 7- ‘3 B4 ME’. This is an excellent way to encourage students to do three things before they ask you for help.
- Equipment - please remind students about their equipment. With lots of end of year assessments taking place, it is vital they are organised.
- Showmyhomework- please upload all the information students need to access their homework. If you could spend a few minutes in your lessons getting them started, they are more likely to complete it. This gives them an opportunity to ask any questions.
KS3 Study Space - this runs Monday to Thursday from 3:10-4:00pm CG13
Have a lovely week,
Mia
