Instructions for using your Knowledge OrganiserEvery school day you should be studying at least 1 section of your Knowledge Organiser (KO) for homework.

The timetable on the next page tells you which subjects you should be studying on which days (it doesn’t matter if you have that subject on that day or not, you should follow the timetable).

You are to use your exercise book to show the work you have done. Each evening you should start a new page and put the date clearly at the top.

You need to bring your KO and exercise book with you EVERYDAY to the academy.

Your parents should tick off your homework every evening using the grid in your KO on page 4. Parents should also sign off your reading using the reading log on page 5, this will be checked in your library lesson.

Your KO and exercise book will be checked regularly in form time, failure to show homework for ALL FIVE days of the week will result in an after school detention that day.

You will also be tested in your lessons on knowledge from the organisers.

PresentationYou should take pride in how you present your work: • Each page should be clearly dated at the top left hand side with

Subject 1 written in the middle. • Half way down the page a line should divide it in two with Subject 2

written above the dividing line. • Each half of the page should be neatly filled with evidence of self-

testing. There should be an appropriate amount of work.• Failure to show pride in your presentation or wasting space on your

page with large writing or starting a number of lines down will result in a negative point.

• Ask someone to write questions for you• Write your own challenging questions and

then leave it overnight to answer them the next day

• Create mindmaps• Create flashcards• Put the key words into new sentences • Look, cover, write and check• Mnemonics• Draw a comic strip of a timeline

• Use the ‘clock’ template to divide the information into smaller sections. Then test yourself on different sections

• Give yourself spelling tests• Definition tests• Draw diagrams of processes• Draw images and annotate/label them with

extra information• Do further research on the topic• Create fact files• Create flowcharts

Self-testingYou can use your KOs and book in a number of different ways but you should not just copy from the Knowledge Organiser into your book. Use the ‘How to self-test with the Knowledge Organiser’ booklet you were given to help you. It can also be

found here: http://www.bluecoatwollaton.co.uk/learning/knowledge-organisers/

Below are some possible tasks you could do in your workbooks, no matter which tasks you do you should always check and correct your work in a different coloured pen.

C. VerbsFinite verb is one that can be used with a subject to make a tense.I walked to school yesterday. We watched the cricket match together.Non-finite verb cannot be used with a subject to make a verb tense Kniting is very relaxing. Swimming keeps you fit. (Gerund)Infinitve is the ‘to’ form of a verb and is a special form of the non-finite verb. to sing, to dance, to run, to walk, to swim, to write.Active Voice is when the subject of the verb does the action. The children broke the door. Mark kicked the ball.Passive Voice is when the subject is affected by the action.The door was broken by the children. The ball was kicked by Mark.Participles are forms of the verb ending in –ing for the presentparticiple and –ed for past participle. Participles can be used as adjectives in a sentence. I am washing my dog. The word washing is used as a verb. My mother bought a new washing machine.The word washing is used here as a descriptive adjective.Gerunds are also known as verbal nouns and, like participles, are formed by adding –ing to the verb. Gerunds can then act as subjects or objects.I love walking. My grandmother enjoys singing. I loathe smoking.Auxiliary Verbs – can, could, do, may, might, ought, used to.Examples: Can I take your dog, Toto, for a walk to the park? Susana could sing as well as dance. Do you know the Eight Parts of Speech, my dear? May I have the pleasure of dancing with you? I might go to the party with Hannah. Michael ought to look for another job in the hospital. I used to design pencil sharpeners before I became famous.

B. Types of triangleA. Types of quadrilateral

Square: 4 equal sides, 2 sets of parallel sides, 4 right angles

Rectangle: 2 pairs of equal sides, 2 sets of parallel sides & 4 right angles

Rhombus: 4 equal sides, 2 sets of parallel sides, op-posite angles are equal

Parallelogram: 2 pairs of equal sides, 2 sets of parallel sides, opposite angles are equal

Trapezium: 1 pair of parallel sides

Kite: 2 sets of equal length sides & 1 pair of equal opposite angles

Mathematics 1C. Angles on straight lines

Vertically opposite angles are equal.Angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees (75+105 =180).

Angles around a point add up to 360 degrees (75+105+75+105 =360).If I know one angle is 75, I can find all other angles using the above angle facts.

D. DefinitionsAcute angle An angle measuring less than 90

degreesObtuse angle An angle measuring between 90

and 180 degreesRight angle An angle measuring 90 degreesReflexangle An angle measuring larger than 180

degreesTriangle The name given to any 2D shape

with three sides. Its angles add up to 180 degrees.

Quadrilateral The name given to any 2D shape with four sides. Its angles add up to 360 degrees.

Parallel lines Lines which are always the same distance apart and never meet.

E. Angles on parallel linesParallel lines are identified by arrows facing the same way.

When parallel lines are crossed by another straight line only 2 different sized angles are created.

Angles a, d, e and h are all equalAngles b, c, f and g are all equal

F. BearingsA bearing is an angle which must: Always be measured clockwise from the north direction. There must be three figures in the bearing.Therefore the bearing of B from A is 072°

As the two north lines create parallel lines so you can use parallel line facts. Therefore angle x is 72° as it is the same as the angle at A We can use this to find the bearing of A from B. The bearing is 180+72=252°.

Mathematics 2

A. Translation If we translate an object, we move it up or down and from side to side.When we translate an object, every vertex (corner) must be moved in the same way as demonstrated in the diagram.The shape moves 3 down and 4 to the right.

B.Reflection The object is reflectedover the mirror line. The reflected shape is the same size as the original.Every vertex (corner) must be the same distance away from the mirror line as demonstrated in the diagram. Shape A has been translated over the line y = 1.

For rotation we need:The centre of rotation (a coordinate)An angle (90°, 180° or 270°)Direction (clockwise or anticlockwise).In the diagram, the shape has been rotated 90° clockwise around the centre of rotation.

E. Rotation

C. Enlargement

Enlargement changes the size of the shape.Scale factor describes the size of the enlargement. Each length of the image above is twice the size of the original. The length scale factor is 2. The area is four times as large. The area scale factor is 4.

B. Equations of Lines

The horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis.Each point on the line has the same y value.Therefore the equation is written in the form y = □.

The vertical line is parallel to the y-axis.Each point on the line has the same x value.Therefore the equation is written in the form x = □.

Horizontal

Vertical

A. The Cartesain Grid

The point (0,0) is called the origin.The horizontal axis is the x-axis.The vertical axis is the y-axisCoordinates are written as two numbers separated by a comma. For example, (2, 3):thefirst number refers to the x coordinate.The second number refers to the y coordinate.

C. Energy transferEnergy is transferred from one store to another. For example the chemical store from fuel is transferred electrically to a thermal store in a kettle.

Science 1 EnergyA. Renewable and non-renewable energyRenewable energy sources include solar and wind. They do not get used up, and are easily replaced.

Non-renewable energy sources include fossil fuels. They cannot be replaced once they have been used, as they are being used more quickly than they are being made.

E. Gravitational store calculation

We can calculate the energy in a gravitational store of an object by: Gravitational store = Mass x GravitationalfieldstrengthxheightThe mass of an object is the amount of matter it is made up of, and is measured in kilograms or grams (kg or g). Gravitational field strength is how much force of gravity is acting on each kg of mass. On Earth, there are 10N of force pulling on every 1kg of mass. Gravitational field strength is measured in Newtons per kilogram (N/kg). Height is how high above the ground an object is. It is measured in this equation in metres (m). Example:A 70 kg person has climbed to the top of 100m tower on Earth. What is their gravitational store of energy?GPE = 70kg x 10N/kg x 100m = 70,000JMore to try:1. A 5kg cat has climbed up a 20m tree on Earth.2. A 2.5kg trophy is held 2m in the air on Earth.

D. Work doneWork is done whenever a force moves something. Everyday examples of work include walking up stairs, or lifting heavy objects. Whenever work is done energy is transferred from one place to another. Both energy and work are measured in joules, J

work done (J) = force (N) x distance (m)

PowerPower is a measure of how quickly work is being done. Power is measured in watts, w.

power (W) = work done (J) / time taken (s)

B. Energy StoresEnergy is not created or destroyed. Instead, it moves from one store to another. The different energy stores are shown in the diagram.

Transferred as electricity

energy in a fuel

Thermal store of

Science 2 Body systems

Diet component Why is it needed? Examples of foods containing

Carbohydrates To provide energy Rice, pasta, potatoes

Fats To provide energy and insulation

Oil, butter, nuts

Proteins Growth and repair Fish, meat, dairy

Fibre Help keep food moving through the gut

Cereal, vegetables, wholegrain

Vitamins and minerals

Maintain health Fruit and vegetables

Water Healthy cells and body

Fruit juice, milk, water

A. Components of a healthy diet B. Digestive system

C. EnzymesEnzymes are chemicals that break down the large pieces of food (polymers) into smaller pieces (monomers) during digestion. This is so they are small enough to travel in our blood to go to the places in our body they are needed.

D. Circulatory system

This is the route blood takes around the body. It is pumped from the heart into arteries, delivered to the cells, and returned to the heart in veins. It then travels to the lungs to refill with oxygen, before travelling around the body again.

E. Respiration

Respiration is the process in which sugars (glucose) from food we eat and oxygen we breathe in react together to release energy. Glucose and oxygen travel to the cells in the blood. Once there, they go to a part of the cell called a mitochondria.Respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Saviour

Christ Messiah

Someone who rescues someone. Jesus saved humanity from the consequences of sin(Greek)(Hebrew)

Grace God’s gift which gives you the strength to be good and Holy. Gods Riches At Christ’s Expense

C. Jesus, Baptisim and the TrinityChristians believe that God as Trinity was present at Jesus’ baptism.” As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16-17God the Son – Jesus in the water being baptised by John the BaptistGod the Father – the voice from heaven “This my son which who I am well pleased”

E. Miracles - Feeding of 5,000When Jesus arrives in a deserted and remote area to preach to a crowd of 5000, he is told that the people are hungry. It’s getting late, so instead Jesus asks the disciples to order the crowd to sit and to gather what food is available. All they manage to collect is five loaves and two fishes. But Jesus works a miracle and there is enough to feed everyone, so much so there are twelve baskets full of leftovers.

Different Interpretations:A Fundamentalist Christian would believe that because Jesus was the Son of God he has power of nature so he is able to perform a miracle and multiply the loaves and fishes so that there is more than enough food for everyone. This miracle is a sign that Jesus is the Messiah that the Jews were waiting forA Liberal Christian would say that miracles are a bit like parables that tell us something about Jesus – this is to show the connection between Jesus and Moses, who fed the Israelites in the desert and that it shows he was the Messiah, who the Jews had been praying for.A Sceptic would say that it is not possible for Jesus to have multiplied the bread and fishes. It is more likely that many people simply brought their own lunches, following the example of the young boy

F. ResurrectionAlternative explanation Christian ResponseIt can’t happen – no scientific evidence

Just because it hasn’t happened again doesn’t mean it didn’t. The disciples then and Christians since believed he did and have faced violence and death for their beliefs

The body was stolen either by Jesus’ disciples or the Romans

If this is true then Jesus isn’t the Messiah, so why did they risk their lives saying he did?

Jesus never died, he fainted. When the sword was put in Jesus’ side blood and water came out – this means he was dead. It was very difficult to survive crucifixion (usually died by suffocation)

The women went to the wrong tomb

They were there when the body was placed in the tomb on Friday. It was the only tomb being guarded

The disciples hallucinated. They were in denial and were not will-ing to accept his death

Thomas touched his woundsPeter and others died for their beliefs – they must have been convinced

Gospel accounts can’t be trusted Written down within 30 years of event10 commandments “do not lie” - why would the disciples disobey this

C. COMPOSER OF THE TERMLudwig van Beethoven

-Born in Bonn, Germany in 1770-Played the violin but enjoying composing more. His father called his works, ‘scratchings’ and claimed they would never amount to much!-Moved to Vienna in 1792-Began to go deaf at the age of 25-His Symphony No. 1 was considered a joke when first performed-He died in 1827

The black note between C and D is called either C sharp or D flat

A. Tones and SemitonesSemitone is the smallest distance between two

different notesTone A tone is the same distance as two

semitones

This is easy to see with a picture of a keyboard. The dis-tance between two white notes that are side by side may be a whole tone (if there is a black note in between them) or a semitone (if there is no black note between).

To go from a C to a C sharp (or D flat) is a semitone.

To go from a C sharp (or D flat) to a D is a semitone.

To go from a C to a D is a tone.

Physical Education Skeletal SystemA. KeywordsandDefinitionsFUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

Protection Bones provide protection to vital organs in our body. E.g. - The cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest

Shape The Skeletal Sytsem gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short

Support Bones holds your vital organs in place when playing sport. E.g. - The vertebral column holds the body upright

Movement Muscles are attached to bones, which are jointed. When the muscles contract the bones move

Blood production

red blood cells (to carry oxygen) and white blood cells (to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones

Storage of minerals

Store minerals which are essential for body functions

B . Bones you need to Know

Clavicle Carpals Pubis Metatarsals Fibula

Scapula Vertebral Column Tarsals Phalanges Patella

Humerus Sacrum Talus Radius Sternum

Tibia Femur Metacarpals

C. Types of Bones:Long bones Bones that are primarily involved in movement e.g. the femur and

humerus

Short bones Bones that are primarily involved in shock absorption e.g. the phalanges

Flat bones Bones that are primarily used for protection of vital organs e.g. the cranium and ribs

Irregular bones

Bones that are primarily involved in providing protection and shape e.g. the vertebrae

D. JointsSynovial joints are freely moveable joints and the most common in the human body, e.g. the knee and shoulder

Ball and socket joint – joints you can bend and rotate, e.g. the hipHinge joint – joints you can bend, e.g. the knee joint
