MYP5 APRIL Revision
MYP 5 students have successfully completed their ePortfolio and Personal project tasks. They will begin intensive revision in all subjects for their upcoming e-Assessments. Their new timetable will afford them the opportunity to have each subject for at least 4 hours per week instead of the initial 2 hours and 40 minutes. They will also have some time to study with their peers or individually using resources provided by their teachers. Parents should ensure that their wards do not miss any day as there will be no cover-up lesson. During these lessons, students will answer a variety of mock questions to practise answering examination-style questions and refresh their memories on what has been learnt in the past two years. During these lessons, students will also review their MYP4-5 textbooks which can be found in the file section of Managebac. The new timetable for April can be found here.
