Lessons

Here are the things you may need in lesson. All lessons (except music, drama, DT, PE and ICT) need books and textbooks so make sure you bring the books you need everyday unless your teacher already has your book.

Subjects without text books or books are:

Library- library books
Music- IPads
Drama- drama kit
Art- headphone so you can listen to music and book
DT- IPads
PE- PE kit
ICT- Headphones


Any questions?

Hello!
My name is Julia and together as a class we will be telling you about the life in year 7.
A bit of preparation.
On this blog you will be free to ask all sorts of questions.
The senior school is quiet different to the junior.
First I shall tell you about the best...

• At this school there is a tuck shop- here the workers sell food that comes from Alosra and the food is very delicious. There are foods like pasta, fries, chocolate bars, donuts etc.
• There is a very nice garden at the front of the school- this garden is very green and it is said to be the most peaceful place in the school.
• There are very nice teachers at the senior school- these teachers here are very kind and I presume they can't wait to be teaching you all.
• Lockers- you will be very lucky and each of you will be allowed to buy a locker for 3 bd to store your books and other items. The best part ( for the girls) might be that you are allowed to decorate your locker.

Now I shall tell you about the not so fun things but still enjoyable ones...

• Lesson to lesson- at the senior school you don't get to stay in your class for the whole day. There is lots of moving around from lesson to lesson. This is not the best because unfortunately  if your small like me, you will be oftenly getting stuck in crowds of  older students.
• Heavy bag- here you will have to take your books everywhere and there will be lots of books 
• in your bag. This will make your bag heavy but no worries you will have a chance to get a locker and keep your books there.

I hope now you now gained a little bit of background about the senior school. And be free to ask any questions if you are curious.

Hello 6E,

This is a post which is made by Ahmed Al Khalifa and Khalid Al Khalifa. (Khalid used to be in 6E like all of you!)

In this post we are going to give you some top tips to make you comfortable in the senior school.

• Making a good spot for all your friends to go to when they reach school in the morning - Ours is in the Tuck Shop, however you can choose.
• Make new friends- Making new friends can change your life in the senior school. For example; If you did not know there was a test and did not revise, they could inform you and revise with you, if you feel uncomfortable they will always watch your back.
• Study hard- Studying a lot can boost your grades and improve test performance.
•  Don't study TOOO HARD- If you study too hard it can decrease your hours of sleep, and if you study too hard you can get frustrated and tired. It is also proven that if you study bit by bit it is better than studying 5 hours straight.

Thank you for your time and I hope you will all have a good time in Year 7!

 Kind Regards,

Khalid Al Khalifa & Ahmed Al Khalifa.

Hi 6E, this is year 7E which will guide you to how the senior school works 

Hey 6E!

My name is Alejandra, and welcome to Year 7!
We can't wait for you all to come up to year 7.
The year 6 transition to year 7 is quite nerveaking sometimes but don't worry you will do fine :)
Next year you might have trouble with...

• Homework
• Finding classes
• Finding friends 
• Finding places to eat, etc...

But don't worry if you need anything feel free to come and ask me!

On the first day you will be asked to go to the sports hall and Miss.Tierney will talk to all of about what will be happening today and through out the year. Then she will call each class to go with their form tutor to their form class. 

In the morning everyday you go to your form class and you do the register. After that you do the bulletin which tells you any fun activities happening this week. Sometimes if you finish early your form tutor might let you play some games or talk quietly with each other. When the bell rings you go inside your first lesson.

Don't forget to ask any questions!

Exams

You don't need to worry about exams at the end of the year but don't be over confident, you never know what will happen. I found taking notes at the beginning of the year helpful because at the end if the year all I need to do is read all the notes again. You don't want to be doing all the studying the night before the exam, although you may remember stuff at the exam, it will not get into your long term memory. You don't have to revise through the year, but it's better if you do.

Life in Year 7

Hey there, welcome to your new life in year 7. I will be your tour girl, Sarah. And let me introduce you to some of my favorite locations around the school.
 We first got the all amazing Tuck Shop!!! This fascinating little store sell are sort of goods (just food really) and drinks. If you have a chololate addiction 🍫( like me) you can buy goodies from hot chololate to a chocolate brownie. And if that haven't excited your tastes buds yet, you can buy your lunch at the Hot Food area. There you can buy pizza, spaghetti, Thai curry, lasagna etc🍕🍕🍕. Your average cash for your school lunch should be around .500 to 3BD.
And if you are still hungry after school you can buy ICE CREAM 😋😋from the ice cream van before you get to the bus.
