Instructions for using your Knowledge OrganiserEvery school day you should be studying at least 1 section of your Knowledge Organiser (KO) for homework.

The timetable on the next page tells you which subjects you should be studying on which days (it doesn’t matter if you have that subject on that day or not, you should follow the timetable).

You are to use your exercise book to show the work you have done. Each evening you should start a new page and put the date clearly at the top.

You need to bring your KO and exercise book with you EVERYDAY to the academy.

Your parents should tick off your homework every evening using the grid in your KO on page 4. Parents should also sign off your reading using the reading log on page 5, this will be checked in your library lesson.

Your KO and exercise book will be checked regularly in form time, failure to show homework for ALL FIVE days of the week will result in an after school detention that day.

You will also be tested in your lessons on knowledge from the organisers.

PresentationYou should take pride in how you present your work, each page should be clearly dated at the top left hand side with Subject 1 written in the middle. Half way down the page a line should divide it in two with Subject 2 written above the dividing line. Each half of the page should be neatly filled with evidence of self-testing. There should be an appropriate amount of work.Failure to show pride in your presentation or wasting space on your page with large writing or starting a number of lines down will result in a negative point.

• Ask someone to write questions for you

• Write your own challenging questions and then leave it overnight to answer them the next day

• Create mindmaps• Create flashcards• Put the key words into new sentences • Look, cover, write and check• Mnemonics• Draw a comic strip of a timeline

• Use the ‘clock’ template to divide the information into smaller sections. Then test yourself on different sections

• Give yourself spelling tests• Definition tests• Draw diagrams of processes• Draw images and annotate/label

them with extra information• Do further research on the topic• Create fact files• Create flowcharts

Self-testingYou can use your KOs and book in a number of different ways but you should not just copy from the Knowledge Organiser into your book. Use the ‘How to self-test with the Knowledge Organiser’ booklet you were given to help you. It can also be found here:http://www.bluecoatwollaton.co.uk/learning/knowledge-organisers/

Below are some possible tasks you could do in your workbooks

MathematicsA. Translation If we translate an

object, we move it up or down and from side to side.When we translate an object, every vertex (corner) must be moved in the same way as demonstrated in the diagram.The shape moves 3 down and 4 to the right.

B. Reflection The object is reflected over the mirror line. The reflected shape is the same size as the original.Every vertex (corner) must be the same distance away from the mirror line as demonstrated in the diagram. Shape A has been translated over the line y = 1.

The object is rotated around a centre of rotation.We can rotate a shapes 90°, 180° or 270° clockwise or anticlockwise.In the diagram, the shape has been rotated 90 around the centre of rotation (0,0).

C. Rotation

D. Enlargement E. The Cartesain Grid F. Equations of Lines

Enlargement changes the size of the shape.Scale factor describes the size of the enlargement. Each length of the image above is twice the size of the original. The length scale factor is 2. The area is four times as large. The area scale factor is 4.

The point (0,0) is called the origin.The horizontal axis is the x-axis.The vertical axis is the y-axisCoordinates are written as two numbers separated by a comma. For example, (2, 3):the first number refers to the x coordinate.The second number refers to the y coordinate.

The horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis.Each point on the line has the same y value.Therefore the equation is written in the form y = □.

The vertical line is parallel to the y-axis.Each point on the line has the same x value.Therefore the equation is written in the form x = □.

Science Body systems

Diet component Why is it needed? Examples of foods containing

Carbohydrates To provide energy Rice, pasta, potatoes

Fats To provide energy and insulation

Oil, butter, nuts

Proteins Growth and repair Fish, meat, dairy

Fibre Help keep food moving through the gut

Cereal, vegetables, wholegrain

Vitamins and minerals

Maintain health Fruit and vegetables

Water Healthy cells and body

Fruit juice, milk, water

A. Components of a healthy diet B. Digestive system C. EnzymesEnzymes are chemicals that break down the large pieces of food (polymers) into smaller pieces (monomers) during digestion. This is so they are small enough to travel in our blood to go to the places in our body they are needed.

D. Circulatory system

This is the route blood takes around the body. It is pumped from the heart into arteries, delivered to the cells, and returned to the heart in veins. It then travels to the lungs to refill with oxygen, before travelling around the body again.

E. Respiration

Respiration is the process in which sugars (glucose) from food we eat and oxygen we breathe in react together to make energy. Glucose and oxygen travel to the cells in the blood. Once there they go to a part of the cell called a mitochondria.Respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Tom Hill Fish Sculpture Continuous Line Drawing Collaged Fish Working with Wire

Tom Hill is a self-taught sculptor who for the last 10 years has been working with recycled horseshoes to create lifesize animal sculptures. Tom utilises a gas forge, anvil and hammer as well as various welding techniques to heat and shape the horseshoes to create his sculptures.

Tom specializes in equine sculpture but has also created a wide range of sculptures such as hedgehogs, squirrels, ducks, herons, swans, pigs, hares, badgers, different breeds of dogs, lions, cheetahs, stags, camels, horses and elephants, all of which are life size.

To date much of Tom’s work has been sold internationally with pieces going as far as America and Canada.

Grotesques; Since at least the 18th century, grotesque has come to be used as a general adjective for the strange, fantastic, ugly, incongruous, unpleasant, or disgusting. It is often used to describe weird shapes and distorted forms such as Halloween masks. In art, performance, and literature, however, grotesque may also refer to something that simultaneously invokes in an audience a feeling of uncomfortable bizarreness as well as sympathetic pity. A grotesque character is someone who invokes both empathy and disgust. Characters such as Gollum from Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” or Quasimodo from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” are examples.

V, V7 &VII (normally used as VIIb). All 3 chords contain note 7; the leading note -so called as it wants to lead back/rise up to the upper tonic and tonic group of chords

Subdominant Group

IV, II & II7. Again these chords have a close relationship with each other
