Poor efforts and disappointing application

Sorry to be negative but had to exclude BenOx for silly behaviour.
AlexSt and RobB still showing little effort.
On a positive note most of the main items, whether shop models, games boards and boxes etc have been made and just need the finishing designs to be applied.
Had problems with faulty printer all last week and today. However printer problem now sorted - it was a faulty network connection !!!!!!!!!!!!

Homework for half term is to complete two sheets, one for RISK ASSESSMENT and one for QA and QC. Both sheets will be issued to everyone next lesson. Explanatory notes will also be provided.

For Joe Newman

Hi Joe,
Sorry to hear about the problem.
There is lots of help on this blog for you.
Email sent to father for more information

Folio check

Please make sure folios are put away at the end of a lesson. RobB, RyanB especially take heed. Also Ryan needs to see me as soon as possible regarding his folio.

Last few weeks - please do your best to complete the work

The risk assessment and evaluation will be covered in class and completed as a homework. Folios and all 3D outcomes need to be finished ready for marking.

Parents who could not make the recent parents' evening

Hi there,
Basically I have mentioned the need to complete coursework - especially the practical element - that is - the models of shops, games etc. This element is worth almost two thirds of the total coursework.
Thursday lunchtime, Monday evenings available plus the 5 /6 weeks left.
Also I have sought help for the students who are a little behind with their work from the school/student learning support department. I am glad to say this has already started and should be effective for those involved.
Today it was pleasing to see students more focussed - I was especially pleased to help JS, RssC, JCrno, to progress their 3D outcomes. Have popped to supermarket and bought a clear bottle for RssC which will provide a clever solution for a curved glass corner!!! wall for his shop model. (;o)

Parents Night

Hello everyone - I really enjoyed meeting everyone and sharing information and hopes for a successful outcome to the course. We have another 6 weeks of teaching to top and tail the coursework. Obviously some students are bang on target justifying their hard work. Some students are needing to consolidate, refine and appreciate the importance of the practical element of the coursework.
To this end I am busy trying to assist with the practical and have put on an extra evening session on Monday and another Thursday lunchtime.

Students applying themselves will do well - however we need some students to work in every lesson constructively to achieve their potential.

I will endeavour to keep you all informed on this blog - hope this helps.

Mr. Geekie
