Argh I forgot to hand my book in - can you mark it even though it's a day late?

No

The simple answer to that question is no.

If the book is not in on the day it is due in you get zero because as you can see from the last set of announcements, I have to mark a set of books a day. That means I set aside more than 2 hours to mark a set of books. If they are there they get marked.

If they're not then you get zero.

I simply DO NOT HAVE THE TIME to mark any books that are in late.

You know this already.

So don't try to get me to mark books late. I just physically cannot do it. There are not enough hours in the day.

No book, no marks.

Year 10 books in Wednesday

I mentioned this in class on Monday. Books in tomorrow, Wednesday to mark ready for test coming Monday. Hand it in or lose the marks.

Year 10 - Test on Monday (23rd April)

Probably best make sure you understand Conduction, convection and radiation in terms of particle then...

Year 9 - Test next Thursday (26th April)

Probably best start revising now then...

Year 9 - I will be taking your books in on Thursday

Year 9 I need to mark your books before you take the test for this unit so ensure you hand your book in THIS THURSDAY. If you have started a new book recently make sure your old book comes in too.

Remember if the book does not come in you get NO MARKS.

Year 7 and Year 8 Quiz update

After the last 2 days of quizzes online on quizstar I have reset the quizzes so that you may take the quizzes again before the test to help you revise.

If you wish to take the quiz again just click the quizstar link in the side bar or above and log in as you did in class.

One reminder though..

DON'T USE THE BACK BUTTON ON THE BROWSER OR THE QUIZ BREAKS!!!!

To access the quiz you need to go to the quizstar site, http://quizstar.4teachers.org/ and log into the student area with your username and password.

Once in take the quiz entitled "Year 7 test on Energy" - Further instructions will be given to you when you log in.

There are so many revision sites in fact that I expect to see you on one and if you can't revise using computers, you will be asked to switch your computer off and revise from your books.

Good luck with the quiz and the test, which will be at the end of the week!
