Good Morning Year 11


Don't forget its not too late to buy your...

Ted Talks - Do Schools kill Creativity by Ken Robinson

Academic Mentoring

Morning Year 11


this is a page I wrote for you




Inside the mind of a master procrastinator




Why stuff in school and your results this year matter




Shift happens and why you need to keep up?


With not many weeks to go to the mock exams just remember that this is your trial run and that you have another chance to POLISH what you do this time around so don't leave it too late or you will leave yourself too much to do for the REAL BIG EVENT next summer and some could argue that if you haven't sorted yourself out already it might or could be too late if you don't do so in the next few weeks.


Happy Friday

Thought for the day - My favourite this week by The Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis

This really is a very short daily thought provoker.  Not every day is as good as the last but some are gobsmackingly brilliant if you can take 3-4 minutes to listen to them here

Thought for the week - Harvest Festival Sunday this weekend
Saint Francis of Assisi is most associated with a harvest festival.  It was claimed that he saw things that other people didn't and saw the world with an uncluttered clarity not at the centre but as part of the whole picture. He realised that everything was connected and everything was in relationship. Perhaps we should continue to challenge our materialism and wastefulness.  Some still live on this planet and eat themselves to death whilst others starve! Hoping for global justice is meaningless unless we are prepared to embrace the sacrifices to our lifestyle. If only we were to listen to make it possible.  We have to be part of the answer to all our own prayers. The simple truth is that the world won't change unless we ourselves are changed. If only we were to listen and let ourselves be changed what a world, what a harvest that would be.  

Digital Pencil Case - Headspace - making mindfulness and meditation easy
