For those of you who couldn't make it to our enrichment session last Thursday, just to let you know that we consolidated the work done so far by working in pairs to summarise each of the topics. I will put a link on the blog sometime this week so that you can download the notes that we made.

The work set as homework was to produce a timeline to show the history of evolution, including the life of Charles Darwin and details of his theory of evolution. Please make every effort to do this before our next session on Wednesday (12th December), as our work during the session will assume that you have a detailed knowledge of this so that we can use our time to discuss more higher level ideas relating to evolution.

I know that things are stressful at the moment with your mock exams having started and coursework being due in, but being part of this AS course is something fantastic that you are doing and it really is worth making the commitment. I would like to see you all focusing on achieving the best you possibly can, rather than taking part a bit half-heartedly and putting it at the bottom of your list of priorities. Just think ahead to Thursday, 14th August 2008 when you will receive your result and how amazing you'll feel to have achieved a proper AS qualification a year earlier than anyone else in Year 11 at Cavendish (and probably most other people your age in the country!).

See you on Wednesday.

Does anyone have any really good tips for answering exam questions?
I always seem to go blank.
