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.

Kala recorded temperatures using a datalogger and three temperature sensors, P, Q and R. The ends of the sensors were covered with gauze. P was kept dry. Q was dipped in water for 2 seconds and then taken out. R was dipped in ethanol for 2 seconds and then taken out.
Every five minutes, the datalogger recorded the temperatures of the sensors.
