Key Stage : 4

Subject: Child Development GCSE

Board: AQA 4580

What is the Home learning for this half term?

Year 10 students will be learning about the importance of the family, reproduction, conception, pregnancy, diet, health and care of the child and development of the child. Towards the end of Year 10 students will be completing a Research Task worth 20% of the overall marks, on one of the specified topics, for example researching how a birth plan can support new parents. In Year 11 students will undertake the Child Study worth 40% of the overall qualification. This will involve studying the development of a child over a period of six months including planning relevant activities to promote the physical, intellectual emotional and social development of the child. Finally, we will look at support for the parent and child.

Home learning tasks will be centred around independent learning on the themes above. Students will be given detailed information and occasionally worksheets to help focus their learning. The tasks may include research, short answer and extended writing tasks. When completing the Child Study, students will be expected to arrange a minimum of 5 visits to their chosen child over a period of six months. The visits should last a minimum of 30 minutes and students will be expected to have researched and prepared a suitable activity with the child so they can observe the development of the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development of the child. In Year 11, students will be given a revision guide and they will be expected to supplement their class learning with additional revision in preparation for the final exam.

Home learning is set weekly by the teacher. If students are struggling to meet a deadline they must speak to their Child Development teacher, or alternatively parents can email via the contact on the school website.

What useful websites are there for independent learning?

http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/home-economics/gcse/home-economics-child-development-4580 this website contains the specification, past examination papers and mark schemes.

http://www.nhs.uk/Pages/HomePage.aspx

this website is useful when researching for the Research Task controlled assessment

How will the home learning be developing student’s communication and mathematic skills?

Students will be learning key terminology specifically for the subject. Students will learn how to use the key terminology in their written responses. They will be learning how to develop their written answers especially in preparation for the 12 mark response extended questions. Students will be provided with support to help structure their written responses for example writing frames key word banks. Child Development will also offer opportunities for students to develop their mathematical skills. For example, students will analyse various quantitative resources such as statistics found when researching for the controlled assessment. Students will be learning to interpret mathematical graphs and identify trends and patterns that this information may be representing. Students will also learn how to present their information using EXCEL in either bar, line graphs or pie charts.

What learning will be taking place in Drama at Key Stage Four?

After they have performed they will receive feedback as to how to improve the performance, which might come in the form of actual direction on some specific scenes or be questions which are put to the group. To view the assessment criteria please go onto the exam board (edexcel) website www.edexcel.com

How can I help my child’s learning?

Please always ask your child what Drama work they are working on – if they are doing script work, please help them learn their lines. If they are completing the other modules, please ask them if they have any coursework which needs to be completed. If possible take them to live theatre productions, Harlow Playhouse or the Barn Theatre in Welwyn Garden City has some good shows.

How will the home learning be developing student’s literacy skills?

Students will be learning new key words as well as developing their use of using connectives within both their written and oral responses. Student will be developing their skill at evaluating both their own work as well as the work of others.

Always fill in your log diary record and keep a log of own independent dance rehearsals that you have done in lunchtimes or after school. Always take at least 10 minutes to fill in your log diaries ensuring you have explained thoroughly your strengths, weaknesses and action to improve.

Rehearse at home or use the dance studio during or after school time to practice the set studies you are currently learning within your Btec classes. It is your own responsibility to advance your own strength, technique and flexibility. It will not improve a lot just in your class time alone.

Weekly tasks will be given dependent on what is needed to help further understanding of contemporary and jazz

Log diaries are written after every dance lesson and then will be collected in every week on a Tuesday.

Book in rehearsal times with teacher to use dance studio in order to rehearse.

Remember to keep rehearsal log as evidence that shows you have taken your own responsibility for your own improvement.

Students need to make a note of their homework in their planners

Log diaries to be hand written or word processed and projects to be word processed. If a student has problems with computers do not hesitate to discuss with teacher and a solution will be reached.

students’ performance from the initial tasks.

Students will be taught a wide range of spoken language features and their ability to examine how they are used in different contexts for different effects will greatly improve their outcome. Watch TV interviews on You Tube and assess using the strategies taught in lesson.

Developing skills in paragraphing, punctuation, spelling, using adventurous vocabulary, sentence structure and writing for targeted purposes/audiences will all benefit pupils throughout the year. These can be practiced/developed through reading and writing regularly.

All teachers will be setting weekly individualized homework – this will allow your child to receive more personalized tasks based on ability and targets being set in class.

Encourage students to read and watch the play to become

familiar with the language and events. This will further support their classroom learning. Websites such as Cliffs Notes and York notes have valuable resources such as critical essays and would be useful to research to add depth to understanding.

Encourage students to read a range of texts and as much as possible at home as this will help to develop sentence structure, paragraphing, vocabulary and narrative structure. Teachers have a set of investigative questions which can be used as a reading tool to develop their understanding and analytical skills. Please encourage pupils to read for at least an hour a week.

Year 10 – Faculty of Enterprise

Students will be required to produce a product that can be used in the real world. This will involve research, planning, creation and finally pitching it to a panel of judges at the end of the year.

How will the home learning be developing student’s literacy and maths skills?

Students will need to carry out research and, as such, develop their Skimming, Scanning and Close Reading skills. Literacy will further be supported by the wealth of new key terms that they will become familiar with in each topic and how they apply them in their written responses.

Maths skills that students will develop in home learning will involve; manipulating data, completing simple and complex calculations, drawing graphs, explaining patterns in graphs, and taking measurements.
