🧠💥 Revision Technique #3: Knowledge Splat 💥🧠

Want to check how much you really know? Try a Knowledge Splat, a simple and effective way to consolidate your understanding and identify gaps in your knowledge.

Here’s how to do it:

1️⃣ Choose a Topic: Pick a subject or topic you’ve been revising.
2️⃣ Write It All Down: Without looking at your notes, write down everything you can remember about the topic—facts, formulas, key terms, anything!
3️⃣ Review and Improve: Compare your splat with your revision materials. Add anything you missed or correct mistakes.

Why it works:
🔸 Encourages you to recall information from memory.
🔸 Highlights areas you need to focus on.
🔸 Builds confidence as you see how much you already know.

💡 Pro Tip: Use Knowledge Splats as a warm-up or end-of-session activity to solidify your learning.

Try it this week and see how much your knowledge grows!

🏉 New Rugby Kit for Marches School – Thank You to Our Sponsors! 🏉

We are absolutely delighted to have secured local sponsorship to provide our school rugby teams with brand new kits! A massive thank you to The Macron Store with their exciting new initiative YourGameYourName, Owens Coaches, and One Step Ahead - Local Foot Health Practitioners for their incredible support. Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible! 🙌

Our Year 11 team had the honour of being the first to wear the new kit in action against Thomas Adams, Wem. They started strong and after a tense few minutes, they clicked into gear, scoring some fabulous tries. 💥

Special shoutout to Marcus Adams, who led the way with 5 tries, and Jack Hughes, who scored 2! Marches ran out winners with a dominant 50-5 score line. 💪

These boys are an absolute pleasure to be with, and we’d like to give a special mention to Captain Owen Haycox – last off the bus after cleaning up! That's true #Respect. 👏

Thank you again to all our sponsors for making this possible and supporting our teams!

📖✨ Revision Technique #2: Flashcards ✨📖

Looking for a quick and effective way to test your knowledge? Flashcards are a fantastic tool to make your revision active and engaging!

Here’s how to use them:
1️⃣ Create Your Flashcards: Write a question or key term on one side and the answer or definition on the other.
2️⃣ Test Yourself: Go through your flashcards, trying to recall the answer before flipping them over.
3️⃣ Sort and Repeat: Separate cards into two piles—ones you got right and ones you need to revisit. Focus more on the tricky ones.

Why it works:
🔸 Testing yourself helps strengthen your memory.
🔸 Identifies what you know and what needs more work.
🔸 Quick and portable—study anywhere!

💡 Pro Tip: Use images, colours, or mnemonics on your flashcards to make them more memorable.
