Revision Tip of the Week

Turn off your social network sites- If you are half concentrating on your revision and half concentrating on what someone is saying on Facebook or Twitter, then your progress is not going to be very good. Turn off your phone, close your internet browser (unless you're using it for revision) and pay attention to your work. You could try doing an hour of study and then rewarding yourself for 10 minutes by turning your phone back on. Give it a go, see how you get on.

Don't forget about the great prizes on offer for those who complete, including the chance to win an overnight theatre trip to London.

Good luck everyone!

Revision Tip of the Week

Get Organised- Make sure you have organised your revision so that you avoid any last minute panic. Use a revision timetable, plan which work has priority, find out when, where and at what time your exams are. Leave wiggle room, so that if your priorities change it won't affect your planning too much. Making sure you're organsied will (hopefully!) make revision and exam time a little easier to take.

World Book Night Winners

Thank you to all who took part in our World Book Night event. It went really well and we hope it has encouraged some of you to do some more reading for pleasure.
