Hints and tips that will help you to be successful in Mathematics

(Numeracy) and Mathematics
Learn your tables! If you know they are a weak area, make this
the summer you really crack them! There are plenty of free Apps
out there to help you!
Make sure you have all your equipment for every maths lesson
Learn all the formulae you encounter
As you move from topic to topic, keep going back and practise
previous topics keep it all fresh!
Always attempt all your homework if you fall behind, it is
very difficult to catch up. Also, it helps your teacher to see where
you have gone wrong, and help put you back on track
Be proactive in your learning if you need extra help...ask!
Revise thoroughly for all tests this will help everything stay
fresh in your mind, and will give you a true indicator of areas you
need to work harder at.
When you are revising make sure you
1. Look at, and work through all the examples youve done in
class.
2. Try class-work and homework exercises again.
3. Make up a mini-test for yourself where you have mixed up
the topics.
4. Get someone to test you on your formulae
Science
What will I need?
You will need to bring a pen, pencil and ruler to every lesson. You will
also need a scientific calculator (the one you use for Maths will be
fine) and this should also be brought to every lesson. Some
highlighters and colour pencils would also be useful to help
emphasise key points in your notes.
Key Words
There are some key words that you will need to be familiar with
when you start your GCSE course in Science. Try to spend some
time going through the words to make sure you understand what
they mean. The examination vocabulary will be relevant to all your
subjects not just Science.
Reviewing the basics
As part of your preparation you could look at the BBC Bitesize
website for Key Stage 3 and work through some of the units to revise
the basic ideas you will need as you start the course.

Researching what you will be studying
The examination syllabus lists all the topics you will be studying
and give you an outline of the key ideas you need to learn. You could
spend some time looking at the different units to see what is ahead.
The syllabus you need to look at will depend on which Science
option you have chosen:BTEC Science- Edexcel Principles of Applied science

The BBC Bitesize website has an excellent English section:
English Language:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/english/
Look at the KS3 section, this will be a great reminder of what you
should already have mastered! Mrs. Salmon recommends the writing
section.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/english/
English Literature:
If you want to do some research on the texts you will study for GCSE,
the vast majority of classes will be studying Of Mice and Men,
Heroes and An Inspector Calls.
English Continued...
You will need to spend some time researching some of the titles
provided in order to decide which texts to read over the summer.
This will help you engage with the subject and help develop your
research skills. Reading quality novels will also help improve your
expression and your understanding of more complex texts. Aim to
read at least two of the novels suggested.
In addition to this, you should be regularly reading the newspaper.
The English department recommend a quality broadsheet (along
with weekend supplements) but tabloids are better than nothing.
You can also collect cuttings of articles that interest you. These
may provide material for discussion when you begin your GCSE
studies in September.
English Cont......
Though stories are as old as human life itself, the novel, as we know it today,
became established in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.

more recently published novels.

topics of interest are standards in care homes and education 0-8 the early years.
All pupils need to attend a compulsory placement at a nursery within the local
area. Pupils are encouraged to contact their primary school during the summer

result.
To help get a feel for the subject consider some or all of the following:
Accompany a child under 5 to various activities over the summer holidays, to
begin to understand the demands on a carer, to occupy a child or children
under 5. The mum will appreciate the extra help too! Keep a notebook/ diary

important if you are to be successful in your study of History.
Never fall behind with your work. If you miss lessons for any
reason, you must copy up immediately and in the correct
chronological order.

make revision for your final exams much easier as you will have
already revised the relevant course content several times
before.
Learn the correct technique for answering the different styles of
question.
Be prepared to support your arguments with specific, factual
evidence.
Read around the topics studied in class to improve your
understanding.

below along with their titles.

Equipment:
All of your work will be completed in exercise books. You will be
issued with a new exercise book in September. For each lesson,
we expect you to bring:
A fully stocked pencil-case (pen / red pen for underlining / pencil
/ 30cm ruler / glue stick / compass / protractor).
A set of colouring pencils (for diagrams and graphs).
Your planner (for recording homework as well as consulting the
world map at the back of your planner).
GCSE Geography
What can I do over the summer?

Buy a copy of the WJEC Core textbook (as this will be the first
textbook you will use in lessons).
The first topic you study will be Living in an Active Zone
Volcanoes and Earthquakes. Keep an eye out for any news
stories that relate to earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that
happen. Why not cut out these news stories from newspapers as
you come across them?
Revisit your Year 8 booklet on Volcanoes and Earthquakes so that
you can hit the ground running with the basics of Plate Tectonics
(e.g. the types of plate margins / the parts of a volcano / the
formation of earthquakes / volcanoes). This will save you, and
your Geography teacher, time in the long run.
Visit the Geography section of the school website. There is a host
of relevant information on here for you to look over. Get ahead
over the long summer break!
Download some geographical apps (if you have an iPad / iPod /
iPhone) and try to improve your general geographical knowledge
e.g. where places are / basic geographical information There are
lots of good geographical games out there find them!
GCSE Media Studies

Research task Pupils must research the following terms in relation
to Media Studies:
Stereotypes

Demographic
Genre
Genre conventions
Hybrids
