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, no

matter which tasks you do you should always check and

correct your work in a different coloured pen.

Out of the night that covers me Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may beFor my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance,I have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeonings of chanceMy head is bloody, but unbow’d.

Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the yearsFinds, and shall find me, unafraid.

Methods are: - written step by step; - include the equipment; - the amount/volume of any substance; - timings; - the number of repeats. Below is an example method for using a microscope to look at cells from your cheek.

1. Take 1 cotton bud.2. Place the cotton bud inside your mouth

and gently rub the inside of your cheek for 20 seconds.

3. Take a microscope slide, holding it on the edge and gently rub the cotton bud over the centre of the slide.

Science Particles

A.Key word

Definition

Particle Everything is made up of these.

Solid Substance in a firm, stable shape

Liquid Substance that can flow

Gas Substance that expands to fill the space it’s in

Mass The amount of matter in a substance

Volume The amount of space that a substance takes up

Density The mass in a particular volume

Diffusion Liquid and gas particles spreading out

Pressure The force of an object pushing against something else

D. Gas pressure

Whenever a particle hits the side of the container it is in, there is pressure. If the container is large, and there are few particles, the pressure will be low. If the container is much smaller, but there are the same amount of particles as before, the pressure will increase.If there is too much pressure pushing from the inside of a container, it will explode.

C. States of matter

B. Apparatus

E. Important formulaDensity (g/cm3)= mass (g) / volume (cm3) E.g. Mass = 10g, volume = 5cm3, density = 10/5 = 2g/cm3

Pressure (N/m2) = Force (N) / area (m2)E.g. Force = 50N, area = 2 m2, pressure = 50/2 = 25N/m2

Volume (cm3) = Length (cm) x Height (cm) x width (cm)E.g. Length = 5cm, height = 5cm, width = 5cm, volume = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125cm3

B. The BibleInterpretInterpretation

To bring out the meaning

Authority The power or right to give orders, make decisions and enforce obedience

Testament Agreement

Gospel Literally “Good news” . book about the life and teaching of Jesus

C. Holy Communion• Holy Communion, which is also called the Eucharist, Mass, the Lord’s Supper or the Divine Liturgy, is accepted by almost all Christians.• It is a re-enactment of the Last Supper, the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples (followers) before his arrest, and crucifixion. At the

meal Jesus ate bread and wine and instructed his disciples to do the same in memory of him.“And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for

you.” Luke 20:21-22.• The people taking part drink a sip of wine (or grape juice) and eat a tiny piece of some form of bread, both of which have been consecrated (made holy by the priest. vicar saying a prayer).• Different churches have different ways of doing this, and different ways of understanding what it means, and what spiritual events are happening at the time, but they all do it as a reminder that Jesus sacrificed his life for mankind.

E. The BibleAll Christians believe the Bible• Is the Word of God• Has authority• Inspires them – helps them live their lives as Christians“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” 2 Timothy 3:16

Christians differ on how they understand this should be interpreted.How different Christians interpret the BibleFundamentalist: If it is one of the Gospels, then it must have happened exactly as it says. Jesus has the power to heal, which is a sign that he was the Son of God.Liberal: Jesus might have had powers, but that is not what is important. The inner meaning of the story is what

D. The Nature of God Christians believe God is:Omnipotent All-powerful “I am the Lord, the God of mankind, nothing is too

hard for me” Jeremiah 32:27Omnibenevolent All-loving ”The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slower to

anger and abounding in love” Psalm 103Omniscient All-knowing “For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees

everything under the heavens” Job 28:24Omnipresent Ever-present “If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my

Shape A two-dimensional enclosed space built with line Mark- making The different lines, patterns, and textures we create in an artwork using any media.

Proportion The size relationship between different elements E.g. height compared to width

Symmetry When one side of an object mirrors the other

Linear Using line only Pattern An arrangement of repeated or matching symbols or lines

Detail The smaller areas of your artwork Range The amount of variation between light and dark tone

Scale The size of an object (a whole) in relationship to another object (another whole)

3D Having, or appearing to have, length, depth and width

Texture How an object feels to touchAccuracy The extent to which one piece of work looks like another

Control How carefully you work with a specific media

Composition Where you place objects on the page Blending A seamless transition between two colours or tones

Media The materials you are creating your artwork with E.g. Pencil, oil pastel, paint.

Negative Space The empty or unfilled areas of a piece of artwork

Tone The lightness or darkness of something Balance The distribution of visual weights

B. Grades of PencilsPencils come in different grades. The softer the pencil the darker the tone

H= hard B= black (soft)

In art, the most useful pencils will be 2B and 4B for shadingIf your pencil has no grade, it is likely to be an HB (hard black, in the middle of the scale).

C. Making Objects Look 3DTo prevent your drawing from looking flat, a range of tonal shading is essential to make objects look 3D.Pressing harder and lighter and layering with your pencil creates different tones.As a surface goes away from you the tones usually darken.Shading straight across the surface will make an item appear flat.Use the direction of your pencil to help enhance the 2D surfaceIncluding shadows will also help objects appear 3D and separate objects from each other.

Still Image / Freeze Frame

A still image is a frozen moment on stage where the characters stay still to clearly stop the play and show the audience a moment in time.It is often used to highlight something important that has happened.

Thought-tracking

Thought-tracking helps inform an audience about a character. You see it in action when a character speaks out loud about his/her inner thoughts at a particular moment in the drama, or during a freeze frame/still-image.

Greek Chorus A company of actors who comment (by speaking or singing in unison) on the action in a classical Greek play.

Greek Messenger

A character that comes on stage and tells other characters (and the audience) about action that has happened in the play off-stage. This was often used to inform about bloody battles that couldn’t be shown on stage.

Body language

Body language is communication by movement or position, particularly facial expressions, gestures and the relative positions of characters.

Facial expressions

Music Find your Voice and Timbre

E. Wider listeningPieces of music which experiment with timbre:

Peter and the Wolf - Sergei Prokofiev. Each instrument represents a different character in the story.Carnival of Animals - Saint-Saens- The different animals are matched with an individual or family of instruments.Night on a Bare Mountain - Mussorgsky - The instruments have to conjure images of a bleak, wild place.Carmina Burana - Orff - This time it’s the voices which create timbral differences.

B. KeywordsRhythm A pattern of long / short notes

Ensemble A group of musicians

Orchestra A large ensemble of musicians which includes all four families of instruments

Strings String instruments are made from wood All string instruments make their sound by strings vibrating. Sometimes we pluck the strings with our fingers or a pick. Other times we can pull a bow across the strings to make the sound.

Woodwind The instruments in this family all used to be made of wood, which gives them their name. Today, they are made of wood, metal, plastic or some combination. They are divided into flutes and reed instruments.

Brass Brass instruments are made out of metal. The sound vibrations are created by the players lips.

Percussion Percussion instruments include any instrument that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken, or scraped. It’s not easy to be a percussionist because it takes a lot of practice to hit an instrument with the right amount of strength, in the right place and at the right time.

A. Elements of Music

Pitch How high or low a note is

Tempo The speed of the music

Texture How thick or thin a sound is

Timbre The different sounds of different instruments

Dynamics How loud or quiet music is

C. The 6 R’s

Reduce is it possible to reduce the amount of materials used? This will help to protect valuable resources.

Rethink is there a better way to solve this problem that is less damaging to the environment?

Refuse this means not accepting things that are not the best option for the environment. For example, is the packaging really needed?

Recycle could recycled materials be used, or is the product made from materials that are easy to recycle?

Reuse could the product have another use? Could its parts be used in other products? Is this information clearly communicated on the product? This will extend its life.

Repair is the product easy to repair? This will extend its life.
