Create a visual art journal which reflects aspects of your own life and personality in a small A5 sketchbook or altered book. How? Use a combination of drawings, paintings and text/words to illustrate the suggested themes using a range of materials, techniques and processes. Why? To develop and refine your observation drawing skills by looking more closely at things around you that you see every day, and to explore skills in creating drawings from imagination. Sketchbook and Journal ideas To begin with you will need a sketchbook. You would have made one in the taster session, but if you are using a ready made sketchbook, try to use one that is no bigger than A5 in size to create your journal as this is a good size. It’s also just as easy to make your own - look at some of these examples for ideas. Just use whatever you have available at home. Check out the links and look on YouTube for ideas linked to handmade artist sketchbooks. You can use an old, damaged or unwanted paper or hardback book and draw on top of the Cardboard cov er folded in half pages and with a range of papers inside. words Bound together by wrapping some string or an elastic band around the middle. Create an accordion or concertina journal by folding and gluing paper into a long strip. https://www.accessart.org.uk/sketchbooks-an-online-course-for-children-families-parents- teachers/?fbclid=IwAR0eXgOhXUnmJdtsLP-0- SaSrYINphDO0pQP2KlcHuOGrEHLQMQpDJc2IYk Email Mr Cooper [email protected] for further guidance with this project. 6 Business Studies Helpful Books for Business Studies Business Studies for Dummies by Richard Pettinger The Business Book by Dorling Kindersley Secrets of Success from the Story of Bill Gates by Lyton Chandomba YouTube Channel for theory knowledge https://www.youtube.com/user/crashcourse On crash course there are multiple videos aimed at Business Studies.

It will also be important for you to understand different genres of theatre. I have attached a link which has information on a number of plays that you can look at to prepare you for your studies, it will rely on you to document and blog your thoughts on different plays and has the opportunity for you to get creative at home by considering writing material. A main focus of this site is the AQA set texts Antigone and Metamorphosis. https://sway.office.com/qok3HXlapZYSaz39?ref=Twitter&loc=play 9 French: Go back to basics, particularly for grammar and make sure that you extend your knowledge of verb conjugation in present, past and future tenses. Use the following weblink to help revise verbs: http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/present.htm For listening practice go to: https://french.kwiziq.com/learn/listening This is a brilliant website as the listening exercises are grouped according to level – starts basic so builds up. Ideal for strengthening your skills. The transcripts are there as well so you can follow the spoken material on-screen. Definitely the go- to website for plugging the gap between GCSE and higher language study. Go to https://www.france24.com/fr/ Watch the news – this is tough, but the more you do it, the more you get used to the intonation/ idiomatic expressions in French media. Re-read your AQA exam guides, particularly the reading exercises to re- familiarise yourself with the vocabulary for different topics. Finally – look at AS papers on the AQA website and see how much you can work out at this stage. History Modern History Any research on the Tudors, particularly Henry VII and Elizabeth I. Research on the Cold War. There are some great authors on both the Tudors the Cold War. John Guy and Geoffrey Elton are great authors to read. Crockatt 's The Fifty Year War is really good. There are also great documentaries on YouTube for both topics. 10 History Ancient History: Books: Richard Miles - Ancient Worlds: The Search for the Origins of Western Civilization Documentary: Mary Beard: Ultimate Rome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL_acQHNs-o Online museum / twitter: @britishmuseum I ndependent Research task: Romulus and Remus Roman Republic The Roman Senate Consuls Roman Tribunes and the 'veto' Lucius Cornelius Sulla and the proscriptions Marcus Tullius Cicero and the Catilinarian Conspiracy of 63 BC The assassination of Julius Caesar - why was he murdered?

RE https://sites.google.com/site/millfieldreligiousstudies/home This is a link to Mr Hodgkinson’s website and has many activities for Year 11s moving in to Year 12 11 Geography Preparing for A Level Geography or want to just develop your Geography further? Hoping to study Geography at A Level? Or maybe you are simply interested in taking some time to further your understanding of the geography you have studied at GCSE? To be a great geographer you need to develop the ability to think synoptically, being able to see the greater overview and how everything begins to link together. Geography is not just about studying people and landscapes; it is also the relationships that exist between people and their environment. At GCSE you have covered a lot of the foundations of the underpinning concepts; physical processes and how they have shaped the landscape and the key human processes that shape our society.
