Independent Learning

Guidance

At Ark Boulton, we are dedicated to helping our young people to develop a love

of learning and to providing students with the necessary skills and knowledge

needed to reach the career of their choice. The daily independent learning

programme at Ark Boulton will help to equip our students to develop vital

study skills needed to be successful during their time at the Academy and

beyond. Furthermore, all independent learning activities are based on

knowledge retrieval from the previous year- a strategy which has been shown

by numerous researchers to significantly improve student learning.

What does my child need to do to complete their independent learning?

This booklet has different 30 minute independent learning tasks for all

subjects for the first half term. Every subject has created a different task each

week to recall learning from the previous school year or topic. Students will be

informed by their subject teachers as to which day their homework will need to

be handed in. All tasks need to be completed in the back of their subject

exercise books or on a task sheet which will then be glued in to the back of

their books. It is the student’s responsibility to be organised and take their

subject books home on the appropriate day of the week. The independent

learning booklets can also be found on the school website for easy access to

any tasks with internet links.

How do I support my child with their independent learning?

As well as supporting your child by providing a quiet space for them to

complete their independent learning, please carry out a daily check on the

quality of the work that your son/ daughter has produced and sign in the

appropriate place. If you are in any doubt that the presentation or detail of the

work is not up to standard, do not hesitate to advise your child to reattempt

the task.

We thank you for your continued support regarding independent learning.

Should you have any questions please feel free to contact your child’s Form

Tutor or Achievement Leader.

Different types of audiences.

Different arts events have different types of audiences and

different ways for audiences to behave. For example, an audience

at rock festival may be noisy and dance and cheer, whereas an

audience at a classical concert will sit in complete silence to

appreciate the complexity of the music.

What are the differences between an

audience in a cinema and the audience in a

theatre?

Write a paragraph that describes three ways that you

think these two different types of audience will

behave differently and why.

Learning tip: If you feel you need focused practice and have time at home,

cut a piece of card into ten small tiles, write the digits 0-9 on them and drop

them into an envelope. Take out a tile and say the number in French. When

you’re happy that you know the low numbers, take two tiles out at a time and

when you’re out and about on your own because they’re all around.

bus numbers, car number plates, prices, adverts …

Q1. A company that sells bottled water claims in its advertisement:

Tap water contains large clusters of molecules. These are too large to pass through the tiny channels in the cell membranes that allow water into the cells of our bodies. Our special process makes the clusters of water molecules small enough to pass through the tiny channels.

A scientist says:

Water is absorbed by cells one molecule at a time so the size of the clusters of molecules does not matter.

(a) What claim made by the company is the scientist challenging?
