Today our focus was on what to study for the upcoming September exams, examination technique and then a recap of skills with a quick amazing race.
HERE is the powerpoint we went through in class today which sets out what parts of each standard will be covered. Remember, because we are giving you this information the expectation is that you attempt these exams to your very best abilities!
Your task for tonight was to practice drawing your map of India FIVE times. Repetition is key to learning map outlines so follow these 4 simple steps.
STEP ONE: Take a minute to really look at the shape and the location of areas/cities
STEP TWO: Turn your book over and draw as much as you can remember
STEP THREE: Compare your drawing with your book to see what you have missed
STEP FOUR: Repeat steps 1-3 until you are at one with the map.
Your task for this weekend is to get your plastic bag of stationary items all sorted and arranged.
Key items include:
- 3 blue or black pens
- 4 colouring pencils (red, yellow, blue, green - brown is optional)
- Calculator
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Eraser
- String
- Pencil sharpener
- Highlighter
Time to start getting organised, stationery cat is. Only one revision session left next week which is on Tuesday lunchtime and is a Q and A session on skills.
Happy map drawing!
