Year 10 Remote Learning

Further instructions for Year 10 Biology – June and July

Resources put together by Mr Noble – contact him if you have issues with file compatibility etc.

This term we have not put the textbook pages on Moodle as some people found that confusing,

In the support materials column we have put the page numbers – you can access this at www.kerboodle.com. Your log in and password are your first initial + last name (e.g.Joe Bloggs = jbloggs) and the code is ob2. Contact your teacher if you can’t log in with those details and they can reset your password/check your details (for example if Joe had a younger brother James, James Bloggs would be jbloggs1). You can zoom in/out of the pages and there is also a built in cover overlay if that helps.

We have also put links to free science lessons videos as these give clear and concise summaries. As the words are on the screen, it will help you link the spellings with the pronunciation.

March – May

We are beginning lessons on Topic 4 – Bioenergetics (photosynthesis and respiration)

• Photosynthesis

Submission of Work

• Submission of work for the English Department: Year 10 English Language (PDF)
• How to submit work – English Department email addresses (PDF)

Year 10 English Language

As you know, you will be required to work remotely for the foreseeable future.  The English department would like you to access the school Moodle English Language folder for detailed information about tasks that you should complete over the coming weeks.

In the Year 10 Language folder there will be dated sub-folders that contain tasks and activities for you to complete.  These will be updated approximately every fortnight to enable you to work through tasks at the rate we would normally expect for your age and ability.

The English department will require you to:

1. Fully prepare for your Spoken Language Endorsement

As you know, there is a compulsory Spoken Language assessment as part of your English Language course. For this, you need to prepare a speech about a topic that interests you and also prepare to be able to answer questions that a small audience might ask you. Your speech must be sensitive to all listeners and be appropriate for a school setting.

Possible topics:

• Celebrity culture makes us feel worse about ourselves.
• Charity should be compulsory.
• Climate change is inevitable.
• Football fails to live up to its promise for good.
• Information and ideas should be free for all; we should abolish all intellectual property rights.
• Life is harder today for teenagers than it was for their parents.
• Practical life skills like cookery should be on the curriculum and not English Literature.
• School children should not be encouraged to play contact sports.
• UK government should pay reparations to countries that suffered from the slave trade.
• Vegetarianism should be compulsory.
• We all have the right to erase our own digital footprints.
• We need incentives to behave well – not penalties for behaving badly.

Task:

• You are advised to use a QUESTION to start your speech – e.g. Do footballers get paid too much? Should everyone be vegetarian?
• There is guidance on the presentation below:

https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/GCSE/English%20Language/2015/teaching-and-learning-materials/Spoken-Language-endorsement-guidance.pdf

• Please the following two weeks to research and construct a speech on your chosen topic. It should be lively and entertaining and really express your views. You can create a PowerPoint to accompany your speech with effective images.
• Write key ideas from your speech on cue cards to avoid looking down too much. Try and learn it by heart.

Further activities and tasks/resources will be uploaded onto Moodle once you have had the appropriate amount of time to complete this activity.

Submission of Work

• Submission of work for the English Department: Year 10 English Literature (PDF)
• How to submit work – English Department email addresses (PDF)

Year 10 English Literature

As you know, you will be required to work remotely for the foreseeable future. The English department would like you to access the school Moodle English Literature folder for detailed information about tasks that you should complete over the coming weeks.

In the Year 10 English Literature folder there will be dated sub-folders that contain tasks and activities. These will be updated approximately every fortnight to enable you to work through tasks at the rate we would normally expect for your age and ability.

Primarily, the English department would like you to read the novel Animal Farm at home.

This is one of your key exam texts and is worth 25% of your GCSE.

You should aim to read a chapter a week and work through the set tasks in the appropriate folder on Moodle.

In the exam you (generally) have a choice between a key theme and a character.

Themes to think about:

• Leadership
• Fear
• Violence
• Control
• The importance of the Seven Commandments
• Equality

Characters to focus on:

• Snowball
• Squealer
• Boxer
• Napoleon
• The Humans

General advice for reading the text

While you are reading, highlight key ideas that link to the above themes. Also, highlight anything significant that you think tells you something about a particular character – this may be something they say, or that the writer describes, or something that a character says about another character.

Importance of CONTEXT for ‘Animal Farm’

You will also be assessed for context in this exam question. This means that you have to try and understand the reasons why Orwell used details from the Russian Revolution, and aspects of the Second World War/Cold War to influence his writing.

This would be a good area to research and there are some great context videos on YouTube:

Russian Revolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2iBW7XJ4c4

George Orwell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvXU3vzHq8E&t=201s

There is also very good information about the text and additional tasks on BBC Bitesize:

Students will find a GCSE History Year 10 folder in the history section of Moodle. Within this folder the students will find the following under the Cold War 1945-1972 section:

• All of the Cold War topic booklets
• A folder of work for each individual teacher
• Links to GCSEPod and other helpful videos
• A guide on how to answer exam questions for the Cold War topics
• Submission folders for each week’s classwork (these have a hand symbol next to them)

Each week your son/daughter will be set work by their class teacher, which needs to be submitted for checking and feedback. Students should submit their work via Moodle either through completing a word document or by taking screen shots of handwritten work and submitting them via Moodle. It is very important that your son/daughter completes the work in the order that is has been set as this is how it is set out in the topic booklet that we are following. Students should aim to complete their notes thoroughly as they will be the basis of their revision for their exams next year.

Students have now completed the Origins of the Cold War and the Development of the Cold War booklets and they will be moving onto the Transformation of the Cold War booklet soon (early June 2020). This booklet cover the key events of the Cold War during the 1960s.

In addition to the work your son or daughter has already received, the department will be providing overviews of the first two topics; Origins of the Cold War and Development of the Cold War by uploading overview PowerPoints with verbal explanations of key points.

If your son/daughter has any questions about any of the work then they can contact their teacher on the email address at the top of the Moodle page. Students can also use GCSEPod as this helps to break down the Cold War topics into short podcasts of key points/events.

2 weeks’ worth of work on Moodle:  https://www.qehs.net/moodle2/course/view.php?id=399

Revision activities covering this term’s learning.  Using external revision site eRevision.uk that students are already signed up to.

Update – There is now a Moodle course entitled Yr9/10 Help videos that has the scheme of work since lockdown, help videos for each week and some extra worksheet resources. Please email Miss Alpin at ralpin@qehs.net with any suggestions for new videos.

• All classes in Years 9–11 now have accounts on DrFrostMaths.com, GCSEPod and MyMaths.
• All classes in Years 9–11 will be set 4 hours of work by their Maths teacher per week.
• Work will be set every Monday by class teachers with a deadline 7 days later (1 week).

Year 10

• 2 x hours of MyMaths per week
• 2 x hours of DrFrost per week

Students that are well will be expected to complete the work set on MyMaths and DrFrost. 

Unless unwell, students should aim to complete around 1 hour of maths per lesson. We would suggest sitting down at a table or desk with minimum distractions to try and ensure concentration. There are many more websites out there that students may wish to use in addition to our suggestions, but we would expect that all students will be using DrFrost and MyMaths in the first instance.

Often, questions online can be challenging when completed without doing some working out and therefore we would encourage students to have their book and a calculator at hand. Students can date and title lessons accordingly and take down any notes if necessary.

How to use MyMaths

Students will be allocated tasks on MyMaths by their class teacher every Monday. To find work, click on the ‘homework’ tab at the top left of the page.

Students must remember to click ‘mark’ and ‘save’ once they have completed a task so that their answers can be seen by their class teacher.

Class teachers will provide additional feedback after the deadline has passed and students can access this feedback on the ‘feed’ tab in the top left of the screen (beneath homework). Students can also work through lessons on MyMaths by using the search bar and class teachers will direct students to specific topics if and when needed.

How to use DrFrostmaths.com – any issues contact ralpin@qehs.net

Student username: firstnamesurname@qehs.net
