This gives a total of about twelve hours. You will be involved in your review which may take up to two hours of your time (with travelling). This means that you should be spending ten hours working through this booklet over the two days.
You should spend 1 hour on each of the core subjects:
English, Mathematics and Science and between 30-40 minutes on each of the other subjects:
Here is a suggestion of timings that you could use to make sure that you keep on task.

ENGLISH – Year 9
As you know, we are a UNICEF Rights Respecting School and you will be looking at issues to do with how we treat each other in some parts of this booklet. The Holocaust was the extermination of about six million Jews during World War II by Nazi Germany. During the Holocaust, many people were very badly treated, and their rights were certainly not respected.
Read the following poem written after the holocaust and then answer the questions which follow:
“Pigtail” by Tadeusz Rozewicz
When all the women in the transport had their heads shaved four workmen with brooms made of birch twigs swept up and gathered up the hair Behind clean glass the stiff hair lies of those suffocated in gas chambers there are pins and side combs in this hair The hair is not shot through with light is not parted by the breeze is not touched by any hand or rain or lips
In huge chests clouds of dry hair of those suffocated
and a faded plait a pigtail with a ribbon pulled at school by naughty boys.
1. What associations do you make with the title “Pigtail”? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________
2. Why do you think “swept up” is in a line of its own? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________
3. Why is the hair described as “stiff” in the second stanza? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________
4. What tone or atmosphere is created by the third stanza? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________
5. Find two words in the final stanza which help to create the image that there was a lot of hair kept. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________
6. Ann Frank was a young German girl who died in a concentration camp. What do you know about her? Carry out some research on the internet and write about her life. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

Task 1 – Happy New Year!
What could the questions be if the answer was 2013?
Come up with a variety of questions that give the answer 2011. You can use as many different mathematical operations you wish (+, - x ÷, ², ³, %, brackets,fractions etc) but remember the rules of BODMAS. Examples for 2012 are:
503 x 4 = 2012 and another is 25² x 3 + 137 = 2012 See how many different symbols you can use!
