Week 14 Goals

My three goals for this Week:
-  I need to revise maths as I feel as though I am falling behind. I need to make sure I follow and understand everything in order to succeed in lesson. (18/02/16).
- I need to generate some ideas for my art project as I am struggling to show interest towards my project. I need to research more in to Expressive Qualities to ensure I find a specific art type or artist in which I will enjoy to work from.(18/02/16).
- I need to double check through my ICT coursework as I am about to move on to other units. This is important as I need to ensure that all my work is to a good standard in order to get good grades and UCAS tariff points I want. (18/02/16).




Week 14 Review:


- I have recently done a maths test in which I found quite challenging, but not as hard as expected. I managed to remember a vast amount of equations in which helped me get the answers I needed and this was due to my revision.
-I have researched on Pinterest  for Expressive Qualities and I have found a style in which I like. I have since made some photo shops as a personal response to this artist. 
-I have spent a good hour looking through my ICT coursework correcting any work in which was commented on. There was less work than expected which was good as it shown I am up to date with my coursework.

Week 13 Goals

My three goals for this Week:
- To finish my art work by the end of this week as it is when the deadline is. I need to ensure that I use time wisely as I do not want to rush my work and spoil it. (29/01/16)

- I need to not put myself under as much pressure within school as it is negatively effecting my grades and mood. I'll try and find ways to relax at home and within school hours (29/01/16).



Week 13 Review
- Instead of focusing all of my time on one detailed piece, I decided to create a multitude of smaller pieces such as quick drawings, sketches and Photoshop's.


- I have managed to settle in to my class to a certain extent. I haver managed to learn new techniques of finding out things such as Pascal's triangle. However, I am taking a while to get my head around everything.


- I have managed to go easy on myself. I have had a week off and managed to do a sensible amount of revision without overworking myself. I have made booklets to refer to and to help me within lesson.

Week 12 Goals

My three goals for this Week:

Weel 11 Goals

My three goals for this Week:
- To assist Daniel, Will, Dylan and Sam in their media films. I need to ensure that I act maturely and appropriately in order to be a successful part in their projects. If I fail to do so I will waste a huge amount of time and I could possibly cause my friends to get bad marks on their coursework. (11/01/16).


- To try and preform exercises to try and help my sprained leg. I need to ensure that I walk on it more and preform exercises in which will help it recover and repair. This is important as my leg will heal wrong if I fail to do so. (11/01/16).


- I need to make a routine in my out of school hours when I revise maths. This is important as I need to make sure that I keep up to date with new work and homework. I need to make sure that I do not lag behind as it is the path to failing. (11/01/16).

Week 11 Review:

- All media films were a success. They were done professionally and to w good standard. These goals were achieved quite quickly.

-My leg still occasionally hurts but it is pretty much healed. I'll just need to be a bit more cautious about how I step on it.

-Maths is still an issue. However I am still keeping up to date with school work and any homework in which is given to me.

Week 10 Goals

My three goals for this Week:
-  I need to ensure that I settle back into school well. I need to start making sure that I complete homework and work given. If I fail to settle in I won't be able to concentrate and most likely work poorly within lesson.(06/01/16)




-  I need to revise for my upcoming maths test. This is important as I need to make sure I do well in it. However, I do not want to overwork myself as I need to identify areas of improvement.(06/01/16)





-  I need to get a rough idea on what I can do for my final piece for art. I need to make sure that I also have good preparation, such as artist links, etc. for my upcoming exam. (06/01/16)



Week 10 Review:


- So far I have managed to settle in for the first few days of school. I have made sure that any deadlines that were set were overcame. I also ensured that I paced myself to make sure that I did not overwork myself.


- I have made sure that I have created relevant revision materials to refer to in order to help me with my maths test. I have created a summary booklet and have worked through some past papers. This is beneficial as it shows evidence that I have taken time out of my out of school hours to revise Mathematics.


- I am starting to research into different artist links to obtain a rough idea on how I am going to piece my final art together. It needs a relevant story or meaning behind it and therefore I need a lot of research behind it in order to make sure that it makes sense.

Week 9 Goals

My three goals for this Week:
-  I need to research into more artists for my art coursework as I only have about 3 when I should have a good 10 or so. This is important as it shows that I have researched in depth as to what I am focusing on and why. (19/12/15).

- I need to complete the maths papers ASAP as I need to complete them with maths still fresh in my brain and so it doesn't collide with Christmas as I will not be able to get the work done as I will be distracted extremely when it comes closer to the holidays. 
(19/12/15).


- I need to ensure that I am on top of work before the end of the school term as I do not want to be doing loads of work over the Christmas holidays as I will not have the time or effort to complete the given work to a good standard which will negatively effect my mood and school abilities. (19/12/15).



Week 9 Review:

- I completed this task on the first day of the term. I researched another 5 artists which ensures that I have now have a good 8 artists to compare and react to. This was done to a good standard and was emailed to my school account so I was able to access it within school.


- I did complete the maths papers, however, I failed to complete them all before Christmas so I had to use my second week to ensure that they were all complete to a good standard.


- I made sure that my Christmas was free of homework as I used the days around it to ensure that I had time to relax and spend time with my family and friends. This was important as I needed to ensure that I didn't overwork myself and that I had a break from schoolwork.

Week 8 Goals

My three goals for this Week:
-  One goal for this week is to get more sleep, I am becoming extremely tired within school and it is having an extremely negative impact on my school work and concentration within my lessons. I need to start going to bed at an earlier time so I get more sleep.(11/12/15).

- I need to evaluate my choices for university. I need to ensure that I am prepared for later life and that I approach my life in a mature, organised and positive manner.(11/12/15).


- I need to do some more development for my art coursework. This is essential as I need to ensure that I do not underachieve in this subject as I have a lot of potential at succeeding.(11/12/15).


Week 8 Review:

- I am getting a sensible amount of sleep. It is within the 7-8 region which is average. However, i should try and relax a bit more before I go to bed so it is easier to sleep and that my brain can switch off before I go to bed. This will ensure that I have a deep sleep and that I will not wake up in the middle of the night in consistent intervals.

-I have yet to look at universities as I haven't attended this weeks progression lesson. However, I shall consider some over the holidays and look at some when I have my next progression meeting. I  need to start doing this to prevent me from going to the wrong university or having the wrong attitude to higher education.

- I have completed the piece in which I set myself to do over the weekend. This ensures that I am at a safe part of my course work as I only really need to do some experimental pieces which don't take long to do and to decide what I am going to do for my final outcome.I also will need to research into more artists for artist links.
