This week, 7 Skipper have been showing what it really means to work hard and get smart as they prepare for their History skills check on the Norman Conquest.

Our class have been learning how to become more independent and reflective learners by focusing on revision strategies that help them remember and apply key knowledge.

We didn’t just say “go revise” — we learned how to revise. Skipper explored techniques such as:

• Creating flashcards with key terms and dates
• Using retrieval practice to quiz themselves and each other
• Organising knowledge into mind maps to see the bigger picture

Good luck to 7 Skipper in their History skills check today, you’ve got this!
