Half-Term Homework – Year 11

Leigh Academy Halley Letter Image

Dear Parent/Carer,

Half-Term Homework – Year 11

As we approach the upcoming break, we take the opportunity to reflect on the dedication and commitment shown by our Year 11 students, and the effort they have invested in their studies throughout this module. The half-term break is certainly a well-earned opportunity for rest and rejuvenation. However, it also provides a valuable time for students to consolidate their learning and continue preparing for their forthcoming mock examinations, ensuring they remain focused and academically on track.

All students have been set compulsory homework tasks in each subject to complete over the break. These tasks, which support both ongoing learning and mock exam preparation, have been posted on their Google Classrooms and are outlined below. We encourage students to complete the work gradually across the holiday, and we kindly ask for your support in reinforcing the importance of engaging fully with these assignments.

All Year 11 students also have access to their Knowledge Organiser Google Classroom, and this platform has links to all of the knowledge organisers for this module. These overviews provide insight into the topics and key concepts that the students have been learning in each of their subjects for the module. If your child has not joined this classroom, this can be accessed on Google Classroom by using the code: 5iur2dnd.
