AS and A2 PE Coursework Deadline

Hi All,

We will use the remaining lesson time to work on coursework. I would like all local, national and international tasks completed, and in your drop box account, by the first day back after christmas. This has now dragged on far longer than I would have liked and its important to get this out of the way.

I am around over the xmas break so if you would like help I am more than happy to set aside a day to go through this with you individually, just see me.

On a lighter note I thought you might want to see how technology can be used in sport. . . . . I'll be using this in senior training after the break!!

Wider Reading

Hi All

We have just received a new careers book that some of you might be interested in:

Getting into Physiotherapy Courses

Click on the link on the right hand side called 'AS/A2 PE Wider Reading' and a list of current text books held by the library should pop up. Within these are some useful texts that should help you develop a wider knowledge base.

Wrighty,

AS and A2 Reminders

Team,

Please remember that by Thursday December 8th I should have your completed draft copies of Local and National (AS) or International Studies (A2) in your shared dropbox folder. I would also expect to see up to date performance and training records (minimum of 8 traiing and 5 performance)and your leadership coaching plans (AS).

After our little 'discussion' last week I don't want to have to come chasing for these. We are now well behind schedule and this will have a real impact on your exam preparation and coursework completion after the break.

For those of you competing for the school, results and league tables can be found on www.dubaiassa.com. This is a new website displaying fixtures and results for school sport in Dubai.

Get it done!!!

AS and A2 PE - Coursework URGENT NOTICE

Hi All,

AS PE - I've looked over the coursework in the dropbox folder and to be honest I'm rather disappointed with what I have seen. Much of it is unfinished or incorrect in its content. We shall have to spend the first week back looking at it in more detail as there is a lot of work to be done.

A2 - There are a lack of performance records in your folders, which again is disappointing as I asked for this to be done. I shall be looking over your international studies shortly and hopefully be giving feedback at the bottom of each piece, please check and ammend as necessary.


Wrighty,

Dropbox Download . . . Do it . . . . Now!!

Hi All,

I'd like you all to sign up to dropbox. It is an online cloud sotrage system that allows you to access your work from any computer and will allow me to share folders with you. This will help massively when doing coursework tasks as you can drop them in there and I can view/edit. Saves emailing etc. Click on the link below and download. It then sets up a toolbar menu for you from your desktop. Its an easy way to back things up!

Dropbox Download

Please try to have this done by next lesson.

PS . . . . don't forget that 1st drafts of Local/National/International Studies are due on Thursday 6th October.

Cheers,

AS things to do!

Hi All,

Couple of reminders of things you need to do over the next week:

If you haven't done so already, print off the latest copy of your local and national studies for me to sift through this weekend.

Complete the research task for Thursday.

Ensure your folders are up to date by Tuesday and make a list of anything you're missing/unsure of.

Make sure you come to your one-2-one meeting with your up to date coursework folders on a USB so we can check what is still required.

Keep next Thursday free for the coursework catch up session.

Cheers,

WRIGHTY's RETURN!

Right then you lot (AS and A2)!

Thought I'd share the good news that I'll hopefully be back in work on Monday. This is actually a week earlier than I should be back). The only reason i'm coming in early is you guys . . . .I'm concerned that you are missing too mch in my absence and want to make sure we don't fall behind.

With this in mind I hope you've been working hard in my absence. I expect you to be close to finishing you practical evidence and have most aspects in place or 'under construction'!

You'll be pleased (or not in some cases!!) to know that I have marked all your coursework and will be returning it to you next week.

For our first lesson back I want to go through your folders . . . that is your coursework folder (Task 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4) not your class work! Please make sure that all your work is complete and in the relevant sections so that it is easy to navigate.

Please please please make sure that this is done as I will be EXTREMELY angry if it's not as I literally am only coming in to teach you (not able to do practical)

See you soon!

A2 Life Plan

Hi A2 Massive!

As I said, whilst I am off I would like you to concentrate your efforts on devising your Life Plan (Task 4.4). There should be exemplar material in the PE folder on shared for you to access and use as a starting reference point. Below is a 'help' presentation to give you some guidance on how to complete the task and what is expected of you.

Please continue to keep your practical portfolio up to date so that when I return it should be close to completion.

Any problems get in touch.

Cheers,

Pegleg!

AS Chapter 5 Revision

Hi AS PE Crew!

First piece of work for you to do whilst i'm off! In addition to continuing to gather your practical portfolio information I would like you to go over the work we have covered in the last chapter, as I would like to start the next one when I return. To start with I want you to compile a fact file on the key figures in the development of sport

  • Thomas Arnold
  • Baron Pierre De Coubertin

In your fact file you should include the following

  • Personal Biography (date and place of birth etc)
  • Education and employment roles
  • Description of the impact they had on the development of sport.

You should also be looking to start your revision process and put together mind maps of all the chapters covered.

AS and A2 Reminder

Hi Team!

By the end of the week I should have copies of all your work, up to date and correctly stored in the appropriate folders. Please ensure next lesson that you bring all work on a flash drive so that I can save a copy.



In addition I also want to have an up to date printed version of Local and National studies for AS and International Studies for A2.

This will give me something to do when i'm sat at home with my feet up after my knee op!!
