Abeeha was heavily engaged in this lesson and again was able to follow by example, successfully completing all of her challenge questions. She understood the units and identified the correct use of notation when writing down an answer that involved pure mathematics.

Abeeha, although good at pure mathematics, started to struggle with applied mathematics. This was evident when she was asked to identify if a smaller volume would fit into a larger volume. This challenge asked her to conceptualise volume as a physical thing, which Abeeha struggled to do. Alternative ways were explained to her such as imaging volume as the same as L and mL and water masses, which she was able to understand but still struggled with the concept of 3D volume.

Through revision, Abeeha was able to recall the previously learnt concepts and apply them to general sentence use. Through her complex vocabulary, she was able to identify and write her own examples of sentence types (eg imperitive, declarative etc). Her grammar has also significantly improved, showing that she has begun to self mark and reread her own writing at her own action.

As this was a revision lesson, it was clear that a lot of concepts taught previously had been forgotten, however this is extremely normal. It was also very obvious that Abeeha was able to relearn the concepts much faster than the first time she was introduced to sentence types. Well done!

Zoe completed both the booklets with help and without timed conditions. She was able to successfully decipher mathematics content easily in the year 8 level, however showed struggle through English. She was able to complete all but 1 maths question, which would have given her a high enough mark for numeracy.

Zoe struggled more with her English booklet. The main challenge for her was identifying words that are outside of her vocabulary. To counter this, Zoe should keep an English vocabulary list with words and synonyms that she may encounter/struggle with more so that she can practice these concepts more.

Zoe was able to recall many concepts of the carbon cycle and identify the differences between the atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere. She was able to identify certain aspects successfully and without help.

Zoe struggled most with wording her extended responses when answering revision questions. Although it is clear that she knows the content well, she is sometimes unable to put the content into her own words and will sometimes forget to add the key terms that teachers are looking for or she may forget to write in full sentences. To counter this, Zoe should have a word bank list for "key terms" such as "combustion" and "decomposition" rather than just explaining the process, she should be naming the process too.
