Hi ,

I hope you are well!

It only seems like yesterday that it was September and everyone was settling into new schedules and classes. Yet already, many in our community are already in the midst of mocks or can see them just around the corner. 

It is a nerve-racking time for students as they try to get in the habit of reviewing their course materials to prepare for exams. So today, I wanted to give you some suggestions on how the PE Classroom Resource Packages can be used for revision!

These ideas can be used during lessons but can also be adapted by individual pupils at home.

1.     Reviewing work booklets

Spending a bit of time reviewing work booklets is a simple, but incredibly useful exercise. It may have been well over a year since students have thought about some topics, so before being able to complete revision activities and exam questions, they need to recap each topic.

The work booklets (+ slideshows) are designed to cover the essential information pupils will need to know in exams, so it is a great place to start. Pupils then can spend 15 minutes creating a spider diagram covering the topic in as much detail as possible.

2.     Cheat sheets

As part of the resource package you have a cheat sheets – one completed and one with gaps – for each topic. In pairs, pupils must study the completed cheat sheet for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, they must complete the cheat sheet with gaps.

If you need to download work booklets or cheat sheets, you can find them all on the course page.

3.     Key words

Pupils are given a topic and are allocated 10 minutes to revise their booklets and cheat sheets. During this 10 minute, they can write down 5 key words for the topic. After the 10 minutes are up, they should explain this topic to a partner in as much detail as they can.

I hope these suggestions help you and your pupils now and later in the year. As always, please get in touch with us with any feedback and suggestions.

Thanks for your support and enjoy the rest of the week!
