Independent Learning Pack
Advent Term
- 1 -
This booklet contains the activities you will be expected to complete in
your own time, from now until the end of the Advent term (Sept to
Dec). Most of your homework will come from this pack; however, on
occasions it maybe necessary for your teacher to give you additional
tasks in preparation for the next lesson.
The following information explains why it is important that you
complete these tasks and stick to the deadlines your teachers set.
Why do I have to do these tasks?
Independent Learning is an important part of your education as it helps to
prepare you for the coursework you will have to complete as you move
through the college. All the activities are closely linked to this term’s
assessments and will test your knowledge of the work you have covered and
help you to revise for the assessments.
What happens if I forget?
You will be given a break or dinner time detention.
If you still fail to do your homework, or you don’t attend the detention,
you will be given a 3p.m. curriculum detention with Mrs. Carney.
Pupils who frequently forget homework will be referred to their
Head of House and given a whole school detention at 3p.m.
To help you remember, always record your homework in your student planner
e.g. write E1 for English Task 1.
Finally, remember that your teachers are there to help, so if you are
unsure please ask; they will only be too willing to help. Good luck!
Remember that all of the tasks in this pack are included on the
College website: www.cuthies.co.uk or go to www.stcuthberts.com

E2: to read the following poem and then answer the questions that
follow S i e g f r i e d S a s s o o n : T h e D e a t h - B e d
He drowsed and was aware of silence heaped
Round him, unshaken as the steadfast walls;
Aqueous like floating rays of amber light,
Soaring and quivering in the wings of sleep. Silence and safety; and his mortal shore
Lipped by the inward, moonless waves of death.
Someone was holding water to his mouth.
He swallowed, unresisting; moaned and dropped Through crimson gloom to darkness; and forgot
The opiate throb and ache that was his wound.
Water-calm, sliding green above the weir.
Water-a sky-lit alley for his boat, Bird- voiced, and bordered with reflected flowers
And shaken hues of summer; drifting down,
He dipped contented oars, and sighed, and slept.
Night, with a gust of wind, was in the ward,
Blowing the curtain to a glimmering curve. Night. He was blind; he could not see the stars
Glinting among the wraiths of wandering cloud;
Queer blots of colour, purple, scarlet, green,
Flickered and faded in his drowning eyes.
Rain-he could hear it rustling through the dark;
Fragrance and passionless music woven as one;
Warm rain on drooping roses; pattering showers
That soak the woods; not the harsh rain that sweeps Behind the thunder, but a trickling peace,
Gently and slowly washing life away.
He stirred, shifting his body; then the pain
Leapt like a prowling beast, and gripped and tore His groping dreams with grinding claws and fangs.
But someone was beside him; soon he lay
Shuddering because that evil thing had passed.
And death, who'd stepped toward him, paused and stared.
Light many lamps and gather round his bed. Lend him your eyes, warm blood, and will to live.
Speak to him; rouse him; you may save him yet.
He's young; he hated War; how should he die
When cruel old campaigners win safe through?
But death replied: 'I choose him.' So he went,
And there was silence in the summer night;
Silence and safety; and the veils of sleep.
Then, far away, the thudding of the gun.
1. Pick out your favourite image.
2. Write a short PEE chain
paragraph saying explaining what
it means or suggests. Explain

Consonants - to double or not to double?
If the base word has:
one syllable
one short vowel
(the short vowels are ham, bed, lip, rot, gun)
one consonant at the end
you double the final consonant when you add a vowel suffix
Now make new words by adding suffixes to the following base
words.
The first one has been done for you.
hot + est hottest fat + ish
grin + ed
stop + ing
pot + er
gun +ed
sun + y
wrap + ing
spot + y
step + ed
run + ing
spot + ed
can + ed
bat + ing
fit + ing
net + ing
Here are some sentences. Cross out the incorrect word.

E7: to write a poem about war
Collect some effective words:
Here are some examples, but add some of your own ideas below. You may
also want to use a thesaurus to find some other examples:
floundering scars death trudge rotten boots
1. Try to use visual and aural poetic features:
Alliteration – repetition of a consonant sound (for the sound of the
bombs / guns)
Onomatopoeia – words that sound like the sound they make such as ‘buzz’
or ‘sizzle’(to reflect the sound of the battle or the soldiers)
Personification – giving objects or things human qualities (to make the
weapons / war seem more frightening)
Rhyme – sound patterning and rhythm (to reflect the sound of the war)
Simile – describing something as like or as something else (to describe
how the soldiers looked / felt / were injured etc.)
2. Write emotively about the horrors of war:
Start off with a dramatic opening line, like:
The soldiers marched, trudging like burdened men,
Bombs crashed and …
Have a go at changing the words in bold to see make it different – you
may want to try a number of versions to see which is most effective.
3. Try zooming in:
Try to remember an image from a war film, photograph or programme you
may have seen which particularly affected you. Think about all the details
you can remember and zoom in on them – remembering the smallest real
detail can help to add authenticity to your poem.

E9: to make notes about a text
Read the following letters from soldiers in the trenches. You should collect
some ideas together to prepare you for writing your own letter in class:
(1) Private H. F. Leppard of East Grinstead wrote a letter to his mother on 19th December, 1914. The letter was not censored. The soldiers at the front need more rest. While in the trenches the water is over our knees most of the time. The war is going to last some time yet, and might be another twelve months before it is over. The war has only just begun and its going to be a war of exhaustion. After the regular armies have done their work it means that all the young lads at home being trained and disciplined and will take our place in the field. The sooner people understand this, the better, it will be for the nation.
(2) Private Stanley Terry of 15 North End, East Grinstead, wrote a letter to his family in November, 1915. The letter was not censored. We have just come out of the trenches after being in for six days and up to our waists in water. While we were in the trenches one of the Germans came over to our trench for a cigarette and then back again, and he was not fired at. We and the Germans started walking about in the open between the two trenches, repairing them, and there was no firing at all. I think they are all getting fed up with it.
(3) Private James Mitchell of 7 Church Lane, East Grinstead, wrote a letter to his father on 17th October, 1914.
We started away just after dawn from our camp and I think it was about an hour later that we encountered the enemy. They were on the opposite side of the valley and as we came over the brow of the hill they opened on us with rifle fire and shrapnel from about 900 yards. We lost three officers and about 100 men killed and wounded in that half hour. I do not want any more days like that one. (this section censored) Anyway we drove the Germans back and held them there for eight days. I cannot tell you all I should like to, as it would never reach you.
English

(4) Rudolf Binding, letter (April, 1915) I have not written to you for a long time, but I have thought of you all the more as a silent creditor. But when one owes letters one suffers from them, so to speak, at the same time. It is, indeed, not so simple a matter to write from the war, really from the war; and what you read as Field Post letters in the papers usually have their origin in the lack of understanding that does not allow a man to get hold of the war, to breathe it in although he is living in the midst of it. The further I penetrate its true inwardness the more I see the hopelessness of making it comprehensive for those who only understand life in the terms of peacetime, and apply these same ideas to war in spite of themselves. They only think that they understand it. It is as if fishes living in water would have a clear conception of what living in the air is like. When one is hauled out on to dry land and dies in the air, then he will know something about it. So it is with the war. Feeling deeply about it, one becomes less able to talk about it every day. Not because one understands it less each day, but because one grasps it better. But it is a silent teacher, and he who learns becomes silent too.
(5) In the 1930s Guy Chapman wrote an account of his experiences during the First World War. I have an old platoon roll before me; three pages of names, numbers, trades, next-of-kin, religions, rifle numbers, and so forth. Faces come back out of the past to answer to these barren details, the face of this man dead, of that vanished for ever. Here and there rise memories of their habits, their nicknames, the look of one as he spoke to you, the attitude of another shivering in the night air, as he leaned over the parapet, watching with tired bloodshot eyes. Some of the faces have disappeared. did I know you? I censored your letters, casually, hurriedly avoiding your personal messages, your poignant hopes.
(6) Charles Hudson, letter to his sister (undated, 1915)
We are now 150yd from Fritz and the moon is bright, so we bend and walk quietly onto the road running diagonally across the front into the Bosche line. There is a stream the far side of this - boards have been put across it at intervals but must have fallen in - about 20yd down we can cross. We stop and listen - swish - and down we plop (for a flare lights everything up) it goes out with a hiss and over the board we trundle on hands and knees. Still.
Apparently no one has seen so we proceed to crawl through a line of "French" wire. Now for 100yd dead flat weed-land with here and there a shell hole or old webbing equipment lying in little heaps! These we avoid. This means a
English
13
slow, slow crawl head down, propelling ourselves by toes and forearm, body and legs flat on the ground, like it snake.
A working party of Huns are in their lair. We can just see dark shadows and hear the Sergeant, who is sitting down. He's got a bad cold! We must wait a bit, the moon's getting low but it's too bright now 5 a.m. They will stop soon and if we go on we may meet a covering party lying low. 5.10. 5.15. 5.25. 5.30. And the moon's gone.
"Cot the bombs, Sergeant?"
"'No. Sir, I forgot them!"
"Huns" and the last crawl starts.
The Bosch is moving and we crawl quickly on to the wire - past two huge shell holes to the first row. A potent row of standards are the first with a nut at the top and strand upon strand of barbed wire. The nut holds the two iron pieces at the top and the ends are driven into the ground 3ft apart. Evidently this line is made behind the parapet and brought out, the legs of the standard falling together. All the joins where the strands cross are neatly done with a separate piece of plain wire. Out comes the wire cutter. I hold the strands to prevent them jumping apart when cut and Stafford cuts. Twenty-five strands are cut and the standard pulled out. Two or three tins are cut off as we go. (These tins are hung on to give warning and one must beware of them.) Next a space 4ft then low wire entanglements as we cut on through to a line of iron spikes and thick, heavy barbed wire.
The standard has three furls to hold the wire up and strive as we can, it won't come out. "By love, it's a corkscrew, twist it round" and then, wonder of wonders, up it goes and out it comes! It is getting light, a long streak has already appeared and so we just make a line of "knife rests" (wire on wooden X-X) against the German parapet and proceed to return. I take the corkscrew and Stafford the iron double standard. My corkscrew keeps on catching and Stafford has to extract me twice from the wire, his standard is smooth and only 3ft so he travels lighter. He leads back down a bit of ditch. Suddenly a sentry fires 2 shots which spit on the ground a few yards in front. We lie absolutely flat, scarcely daring to breathe - has he seen? Then we go on with our trophies, the ditch gets a little deeper, giving cover! My heart is beating nineteen to the dozen - will it mean a machine gun, Stafford is gaining and leads by 10yd. "My God," I think, "it is a listening post ahead and this the ditch to it. I must stop him." I whisper, "Stafford, Stafford" and feel I am shouting. He stops, thinking I have got it. "Do you think it's a listening post?" There! By the mound - listen."
"Perhaps we had better cut across to the left Sir."
"Are you all right Sir," from Stafford.
I laugh, "Forgot that damned wire." (Our own wire outside our listening post). The LP occupants have gone in. Soon we are behind the friendly parapet and
English
14
it is day. We are ourselves again, but there's a subtle cord between us, stronger than barbed wire, that will take a lot of cutting. Twenty to seven, 2 hrs 10 minutes of life - war at its best. But shelling, no, that's death at its worst. And I can't go again, it's a vice. Immediately after I swear I'll never do it again, the next night I find myself aching after "No Man's Land".
(7) John Reith, Wearing Spurs (1966)
I did my best to take an interest in the members of my platoon personally. In manual exercises and in extended order drill in a field I could take none; and they knew it. I was supposed to censor their letters home, but I informed them that they were on their honour not to say things they should not say, and I handed over the censor's stamp to the sergeant. I was thankful when our three days in billets were over and we were back in trenches again. I was still dreaming about Sailaway and Transport, still bewildered almost every time I woke, but there was at least a chance of something happening in the trenches and one was clear of CO and Adjutant.
(8) Harold Chapin, a self-censored letter to Calypso Chapin (23rd May 1915) I have been up to my eyes in work (at the main dressing station in " ----- ") since Sunday morning when the British and French attack began (or rather when its fruits in wounded began to reach us. The actual attack began on Saturday night). Nominally I have been on night duty in the operating tent, but naturally with wounded and wounded and wounded flowing in neither night nor day duty means anything. I had had eight hours sleep in three days, when heavy fighting out here developed and the message came down for more bearers, so out I came with a dozen others by horse ambulance (time two a.m.) and going on on foot just as day was breaking, found a Regimental M.O. in a room in a gutted house with some half dozen wounded and two or three dead on the floor about him. His own regimental stretcher bearers were carrying and carrying the long mile down to a spot where an ambulance could meet them, in comparative safety. I gave a hand with my party of six and between us we carried down two: you have no idea of the physical fatigue entailed in carrying a twelve stone blessé a thousand odd yards across muddy fields. Oh this cruel mud! Back in " ----- " we hate it (the poor fellows come in absolutely clayed up), but out here, it is infernal

MFL7: to revise for the assessments
You will soon be expected to complete your end of term assessments
including a speaking assessment. To help you to revise your teacher
will provide you with a prompt sheet. It is really important that you
try and prepare answers for the assessment, and the best place to
start is by looking over all of the different areas you have covered in
lessons and in the tasks you have completed at home.
Good luck!
