STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE LEARNING IN YEAR 8

Art & Design

What can you do to improve your work and develop your understanding in this subject?

Come to all your lessons fully prepared. This means with the right equipment (a 2B drawing pencil, a sharpener – erasers are not to be encouraged), your Art & Design homework as appropriate.

Please look after the Art & Design studio, as well as the equipment you are trusted to use and take a real pride in framed work & exhibits throughout the school. It is essential that we can showcase your magnificent work to visitors and your friends & peers to enhance the learning environment and our school in the best ways possible.

Look after your Art & Design work - take a real pride in it, spend time on it and enjoy it. Think about the overall quality and effect of your work. Do not lose it. Do not spill anything over it.

Pay attention to the presentation of your work. Most of your work other than the main pieces you do in lessons should either be done directly into your Art & Design book, or always be glued in later. Do not fold A4 sheets to stick them in, unless Mr Bradley asks you to do this. They are usually the same size as the pages. When you have printed work out, if the colour quality is poor, send it to your email account and reprint it in before attending your Art & Design lesson. Do not label and name unnecessarily or so big the writing interferes with the image you have produced; always on the back of the work please. Don’t leave pages blank unless told to do so. Keep the cover as neat as you can by handling your book carefully and ensuring everything is stuck down beautifully.

When you reach the end of your Art & Design book, ask Mr Bradley for a new one and then fix this inside the back cover of your existing one and carry on. Your Art book should run from Year 7 to the end of Year 9.

Use prior learning to support your progress and development of your work/ ideas. If you have used a medium before, use any return to it as an opportunity to develop your skills further. Try to enjoy what you do and take a real pride in all your Artwork e.g. if you have drawn too heavily with a pencil before, where tonal value is not varied or convincing, try to work lighter and consider your mark making more. Draw from real life sources when appropriate to enhance your drawing capabilities. Gradual, quality and control will help you achieve the best outcome possible.

Always check your homework or email Mr Bradley if you need further explanation or clarification. If you need any further help, make sure you speak to Mr Bradley before the next lesson.

Refer regularly to the level descriptors in the front of your book.

Try your best at all time; take pride in producing beautiful work.

Design & Technology

What should you do to improve your work in this subject?

Show evidence of researching from several different sources and show evidence of your research in your design ideas e.g. colour, pattern, texture, line, form and function.

Produce a specification which includes five measurable points and all other points are relevant to the design task.

Produce a variety of creative and original design ideas which are fully annotated which relate directly to the design specification. Show that your design ideas are realistic by testing and modelling them in a variety of materials.

Plan ahead for your practical work, working as independently as possible and following all necessary health and safety procedures. To achieve the best level, you must show that you understand quality control procedures and use them at important points in your practical work. Make sure you use appropriate technical language when listing what materials, tools and equipment to use for the task. Make sure you are always organised and know what you are supposed to be doing. Set yourself achievable targets for each lesson.

Always make sure your practical work is fully functional, finished, accurate and precise. You should demonstrate as many practical skills as you can, and make sure your products have a high quality finish and appearance.

Evaluate and test your product in the environment in which it will be used and document appropriate comments. Identified a number of key weaknesses and suggested improvements. Ask the opinions of others, record them and take action on potential modifications.

Use knowledge from relevant magazine articles and TV programmes to help you choose suitable materials and understand how materials can be combined together successfully.

Drama

What can you do to improve your work in this subject?

Come to all your lessons fully prepared. This includes bringing:

a) Your Drama book b) Your plannerc) Any props that you might need for your performance or rehearsals. Be

aware that no fake weapons may be used in Drama or on the school site!

Be aware of the Drama level criteria that have been uploaded to the OneDrive class group. The criteria explain what you will have to do in order to reach your next Drama level.

Be aware that Spontaneous Improvisation is not enough. You will need to apply the explorative strategies to your rehearsal sessions and you would have to experiment with practitioners and different performance techniques in order to gain a better Drama level.

Apply the skills that you have learnt to all of your performances.

Make sure you do at least two evaluations of another student’s performance during the year. This will not only enhance your knowledge of the level descriptors, it will also make you aware of improvements you can make to your own acting, in order to improve your own Drama level.

Use rehearsal time effectively and productively.

Do additional research on theatre practitioners.

Read 4 additional plays. Good examples are “Blue Remembered Hills”, “Hard to Swallow”, “Snake in the Grass” and “Teechers”.

Start to learn the names of stage lights.

Writing

Aim to produce writing that is fluent, which engages and sustains the reader’s interest.

Adapt the style of your writing to suit different forms and choose appropriate language for each task.

Be able to experiment with a range of sentence structures and add a wider variety of vocabulary to create effects.

Be able to organise ideas into correctly structured, developed paragraphs creating a cohesive text.

Reading - Aim to:

Identify different layers of meaning and comment on their significance and effect.

Give a personal response to literary texts, referring to and analysing aspects of language, structure and themes to justify your views.

Make connections between texts from different times and cultures and link them to your own experiences.

Summarise a range of information from different sources. Read a range of fictional genres and a range of different types of texts.

In Maths it is vital to apply your learning to actual problem solving. You can use www.mymaths.co.uk and BBC bitesize to do this.

Ensure you have the right equipment in every Maths lesson including a calculator.

Consolidate Level 5 and 6 topics and move on to Level 7. Suggestions are given in the diagrams below, and can be found on both mymaths and bitesize.

Additional Enrichment Ideas

Things to do:

Learn to programme a computer. An easy programming language to learn is MSWLogo. Type “MSWLogo” into Google and follow the links to download the software.

Google “Dog’s Mead” to find a really challenging cross-number puzzle. You can find lots of good and interesting puzzles simply by Googling

“Mathematical Puzzles”. Try never to look at the answer of a problem until you think you have solved it. To become a better mathematician, you need to enjoy being stuck, wrestling with a problem with hours and even days before making a breakthrough. Once you have succeeded at doing this the first few times you will really start to enjoy the process. You will also start to build up the experience of certain tricks to solve problems.

Example:A piece of string is wrapped exactly four times around a cylindrical column as shown in the illustration on the right. If the column is 60cm high and has circumference of 20cm, how long is the piece of string?

Music

What can you do to improve your work in this subject?

Come to all your lessons fully prepared. This means with the right equipment (pen, pencil, occasionally with a musical instrument), your Music book and your homework as appropriate.

When doing a Listening activity, it is essential that you do not talk while music is being played. To do so would be to disrupt your own listening experience and that of those around you.

Try to use appropriate vocabulary where possible: if you don’t know technical words like crescendo or staccato, it is quite alright to use your own words, like getting louder or short and detached.

When working on a Composition or Performance in groups, remember the importance of working together in a co-operative manner and of trying to work independently and being self- motivated.

Those who learn an instrument: it is very important to practise regularly between lessons (better little and often than leaving to the night before the lesson and doing two hours).

Always check your homework on the OneDrive class group if you need further explanation or clarification. If you need any additional help, make sure you speak to your teacher before the next lesson.

Refer regularly to the level descriptors on the Music Room wall.

Physical Education

What should you do to improve your work in this subject?

Make your best effort in every lesson, don’t give up when things are difficult or go wrong – perseverance is the key – few people are able to perform perfectly the first time.

Learn from your mistakes – PE is often about trial and error, remember the things that work well in a given situation.

Link what you learn in one activity with what you do in another, for example, the use of space is the same in football and hockey.

Remember that it’s not just about skill, just as important is the tactical appreciation – outwitting your opponent is the key.

Be creative – in Gymnastics and Dance you become the choreographer and can learn a lot from sharing good ideas and in games, think up your own strategies for attacking and defending.

Watch others who do things well and try to replicate their actions.

Be a leader, not a follower, communicate effectively at all times and be positive to get the best out of your team mates.

Stay fit and healthy – remember that there is clear scientific evidence that people who do regular exercise live longer, healthier, happier lives and are more likely to be successful in any career as a result.

Attend extra-curricular sporting activities – they are open to everyone. We try to provide for all types of people, bring your friends with you as well!

ScienceWhat should you do to improve your work in this subject?

Review your year 7 work as well as your end of year tests. Using the online textbooks, revisit areas of weakness.

Make sure that all your exercise books from last year are safely kept as you will need to review all the work for the end of Key Stage 3 assessment early in year 9.

Don’t forget to come to lessons with your exercise book, planner, pen, a sharp pencil, ruler, calculator and an eraser.

Do your homework on the night that it is set, whilst the teaching is still fresh in your mind as this will help you to ask more questions of your teacher.

Clear explanations are important in Science – improving your understanding of new ideas can be helped by writing clear explanations. Use the information in the online textbook and always answer all questions in full sentences. Make sure that your answers include key vocabulary and that your answers are explained. For numerical problems, show all your working and remember to include units.

Take all marked test papers home and review them with your parents. Review your performance in tests and homework – go to your teacher if you don’t know how to improve.

If you are already doing all the above, you may wish to read ahead. The topics to be covered during the year are: Biology: Life and Death, Drugs, Behaviour and Disease

Chemistry: Atoms, Mixtures and Compounds, Reactions of Acids, Rocks and Metal Displacement.

Physics: Light and Sound, Circuits and the Solar System.
