Hello and welcome to Nodehill's Study Skills Blog!
As from September 2007 Study Skills in our school will be taking a Learning to Learn approach. On our blog you will be able to find examples of work and also the types of activities we are carrying out as part of our Study Skills curriculum. Our goal is to empower children to take control of their learning and produce critical thinkers, decision makers, problem solvers and effective life long learners. We would appreciate feedback and ideas and hope you enjoy our blog.

In this unit I have learnt about the type of learner I am and also learnt how to co-oporate with people better (although I knew how to before). With miss Brailsford we have learnt the difference between a career, a job and a proffesion.We have learnt how to write a letter to apply for a job and also filled out an application form. I have learnt that I am good at letter writing and didn't know I am a bit of every kind of learner. A kinesthetic, a visual and auditory (i hope I have spelt the words write) I have learnt that the whole class has hobboes. The letter writing will help me in English and knowing how to fill out an aplication form will help me in my future. ( I DIDN'T GET ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH)

I have learnt how to apply for a jobs and what you need to apply for one such as certificates, degrees and test results.I have revised what the hi five was and learnt the difference between a job, a career and a proffesion.I have wrote an imaginary letter to apply for a job. I also revised that I was an kinesthetic learner.
I have learnt that you need to go through a lot of forms to apply for a job and I seem to be alright with filling out those kind of form.
I have learnt what kind of jobs some people might like to have in the future.
This work will help me in other school subjects because I can study mainly on the things I need to to get the job I want which hopefully makes me a lot of money.
I have enjoyed this unit because I get to apply for an imaginary job.
The thing I enjoyed the most was applying for an imaginary job because you can be extremeley creative in choosing what job you want.
I think you can improve this unit by asking people in the room for job interviews.

I've learnt about getting jobs and filling in application forms. I've worked in groups and partners.I have learnt about myself more because i know what jobs i could ,maybe apply for when i'm older.Other people will resepect you if you respect them.This unit will help me when i'm older because of getting a job.I have kind of enjoyed this unit because it was interestin,however it was a bit boring.I enjoyed pretending to apply for a job the most.In this unit i think not alot could be improved.My other comments are thankyou Mrs Brailsford it was fun!:)
