Refer to the revision program of sessions run in school – Tuesdays are revision sessions and Thursdays are mock paper sessions. Make sure you attend as many as you can, particularly the mock paper sessions as there will be little time to do these in class. After Easter once all the resits are finished, Monday lunchtimes will also be a revision session with our two Spanish assistants. Bring your lunch and come along. In the next 19 lessons until the exam we will be spending 4-5 lessons on each of the outstanding topics from the book: Environment, health and work. There isn’t much time in lessons to revise topics we have already covered (holidays, free time, school, my town) so you’ll need to do this at home. Revision in school
