School

It’s not exam time, we hear you

say... But there’s a good reason

we want you to consider

studying early this year

IF YOUR HOMEWORK

CHAIR COULD SPEAK...

Your chair wants you to work well, so this is what it would say!

1. Are you sitting all the way back in my seat?


2. Sitting all the way back in my seat, are your feet on the
   floor? If not, try a footrest.


3. Are my armrests stopping you from getting close enough to
   your work? If so, take them off.


4. Is my backrest giving you nice support in your lower back
   as you type or write? If not, roll up a towel in the small of
   your back.


5. Do you really weigh that much or is someone on your lap?
   (Just kidding!)


6. You keep sitting on the edge of my seat! Sit back, and
   remember to try a footrest.


7. It’s been an hour, so do the next section of reading while
   standing up, or go get a healthy snack; then let’s get
   going again.


8. I’m supporting you as best I can; have you tried to help
   anyone today?

BETTER,

HARDER

STUDY

NOT

TOP STUDY TIPS:

Much research has been conducted into study methods, but

these points come up the most:

1 Space the work out – don’t cram! You’ll remember

work better if you do a bit every day rather than try

and do it last minute. That means start now for

end-of-year exams.

2 Get enough sleep. You may be tempted to stay up late

to get in some extra study time, but sleep is vital. If

you’re tired, you won’t remember much.

3 Eat right and exercise. Healthy body, healthy mind.

4 Take breaks. You need to get up every so often to

stretch your legs, have a snack, go outside for some

fresh air or say hi to your friends.

5 Write things out by hand. Either get your hands on study

guides with quizzes attached, fill in old test papers, or

use good old-fashioned pen and paper to create

summaries. There’s something about physically writing

something that makes it stick better.
