Veema Education, a UK based educational consultancy firm (www.veema.co.uk), is working with us to offer a student masterclass designed specifically for Year 3 students, entitled ‘Kick-Start Study Skills’ and Years 5-7 students, entitled 'Masterclass 2017: Revise to Maximise'

What does this masterclass involve?
 
For our Year 3 the Kick Start Revision skills offers them: 

• Effective strategies for processing information — including memory games that help build brainpower.
• Reflecting with students on how they currently study — what works for them and why and how we could improve the way they approach independent study time.
• What revision methods do not work and why they are not effective.
• Growth mindset — the importance of students developing a growth mindset attitude towards learning.
• Activities include areas such as: personal, learning and thinking skills, independent enquirers,team workers,creative thinkers,self managers,reflective learners,effective participators etc.

As for our Years 5 to 7 

This Masterclass is a good way to kick-start a student’s revision for the GCE examinations. It teaches useful memory skills and methods for processing information to make revision simpler and also helps students learn how the human mind works and how we process information. Students will be encouraged to set themselves realistic goals for studying for exams and to map out effective revision plans. The skills learned in this session are designed to improve exam performance, raise confidence levels and enable students to approach revision in a positive manner.
