Revision for CA1

Pupils of 6D,

Please make sure that you are consistently revising for the upcoming exams. It is pointless if you are intending to burn the midnight oil.

Always plan ahead. Last minute work will not help.

I remember this saying that helps me even now... "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

Hence, revise your work consistently. For Mathematics, always go through the sums that you got wrong, with the help of corrections.

Pupils, if you have any suggestions on how to revise effectively, please post your comments here.

Thank you and have a great day!

Yummy treat

I hope you enjoyed the chocolate treat. Please make sure you learnt something from today's lesson. You must attempt to use the "5 senses" when writing your compositions.
It may seem difficult right now, but with effort and practice, you can certainly do it.

Make sure you do your homework and revise consistently. Do remember to take your breaks too! :)
