Revision Sessions
Starting week beginning 23rd Jan -
THURSDAY 26th Jan @ Lunchtime = UNIT 1 Revision sessions.
If you would like to come along and use the time to revise than please do. We will go through different aspects of the unit over the coming weeks. A revision programme of what each session will entail will follow very shortly. So, keep checking back just incase there are some weeks that you would like to come along to or some that you may not need to attend.
If you would be interested in just coming along to work quietly on psychology work and not take part in the revision lesson that will be fine.
I would like to see as many people there each week - I will put a sign up sheet at the start of each week to gauge an understanding of numbers, as if no body turns up I will not plan anything! You can find the sheet on my desk - Clearly Labelled: Psychology Revision Session and the week it is.
If you have any concerns of any of the above, feel free to come and see me to discuss.
