Year 8 WWI letters
I asked my Year 8s to read my great grandad's diary from WWI and write a letter to his children explaining what he got up to. These are very brilliant letters from Megan, Harry, Megan, Grace, Taylor, Regan and Lauren that have used his diary entries especially well. They should all be really proud of themselves!

Revision ideas
Year 7 were asking me for ideas for successful revision today. Here are the suggestions I usually give GCSE and A level classes, but it works for all of you!
Some revision ideas:
- make flash cards of dates, key people, words etc ( make your own)
- make colourful mind maps (make your own here or here)
- storyboard an event, e.g. Jenner's discovery of vaccination
- make a concept map for an event showing who, what, when, where and why
- write an A-Z of the topic
- write a story from the point of view of an inanimate object, e.g. the political deal from the point of view of Hindenburg's pen
- record your notes and put them on your iPod/phone (I usually use this one)
- create songs/mnemonics to remember key facts (get some inspiration here)
- teach a bit of the topic to someone who knows nothing about it, get them to take notes so you can see what you forgot to include
- write a quiz/make a game to play (make your own)
- get the big marker pens out and make posters to stick around your room
- prepare a presentation on your topic
- type up a summary of your notes
- write the story out, cut it up and put it back together
- skim read the source and summarise it in a few sentences, summarise that until you get one word

- write key words from the story on post-its, stick them to things in the room, walk around the room telling yourself the story until you can imagine the walk and tell the story in your head
- make an activity/write a story for teaching the topic to the lower school

WWI
Some of you may have wandered past this and seen a WWI soldier on the wall in Sandringham. This is my great grandad who served with the Norfolk Regiment at Gallipoli and the Royal Flying Corps in the Middle East. He left behind a diary from 1918 and hundreds of photographs, which are on the wall outside S10.
