Resilience is about recovering quickly when things don’t go to plan. The more resilient we are, the more likely it is that we’ll bounce back from adversity. When bad things happen, ask yourself ‘are things really as bad as they seem?’ and ‘can I learn anything from this experience?’ See page 114.

Scotland Forever! A painting capturing the famous cavalry charge at Waterloo
Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington
WELLESLEY
was born on 1st May 1769 into a wealthy Anglo-Irish aristocratic family in Ireland, the third of five brothers. He showed little promise during his education and late teens but joined the army with a commission in 1787.
as a senior commander in the Peninsular War - fought in Spain and Portugal against the French from 1808 to 1814. He was created a Duke for his many successes there and was then appointed ambassador to France.
His first proposal to his wife-tobe was rejected because he was considered to be a young man in too much debt, with very poor prospects. This spurred him on in his new career.
In 1815 he successfully led the Anglo-Allied army at Waterloo before becoming Commanderin-Chief of the British Army from 1829. He also entered politics becoming Tory Prime Minister twice, in 1828-30 and 1834, before retiring in 1846. He died in 1852 at the age of 83.
He gained considerable military experience during campaigns in the Netherlands, India & Denmark and rose to prominence
Quite a life of achievement for a boy whose mother had once said “I don’t know what I shall do with my awkward son Arthur”
Scotland Forever! A painting capturing the famous cavalry charge at Waterloo
June 18th 2015 is the bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo. Fought near the village of Waterloo in present day Belgium, this bloody battle brought to a close more than 25 years of conflict throughout Europe, ushering in a half-century of European peace that in turn established Britain as the world’s dominant economic power. The French Revolution of 1789 had spread panic throughout Europe’s established order and from the ensuing turmoil one of history’s most enduring and charismatic leaders, Napoleon Bonaparte, rose to power. Napoleon fought a series of major campaigns in Europe as well as planning an invasion of Britain. Despite many great victories - the battles of Marengo, Austerlitz, Friedland & Wagram - and extending the French sphere of influence over much of Europe, he suffered a series of setbacks: a disastrous invasion of Russia followed by the retreat from Moscow in the winter of 1812, losing the Peninsular War of 1807-14 and finally defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. His initial reign ended with exile to the Mediterranean island of Elba.
By early 1815 Napoleon had escaped and returned to mainland France and started his second reign, known as the ‘Hundred Days’. Immediately declaring him an outlaw, an Allied coalition of Great Britain, Russia, Austria and Prussia resolved to confront him. Napoleon marched north from Paris in an attempt to knock out the coalition forces before they could mobilise. He attempted to drive a wedge between the oncoming British under Wellington and Prussians under von Blücher, defeating the Prussians on June 16th at the Battle of Ligny and engaging the British at Quatre-Bras. Wellington withdrew his forces north to a defensive position of his own choosing on a low ridge eleven miles south of Brussels, whilst the mauled Prussians managed to withdraw eight miles to the east. By nightfall the French had arrived to confront Wellington, both armies seeking shelter from the torrential rain. The French numbered 69,000 including 40,000 infantry, 14,000 cavalry and 7,000 artillery with 250 guns. Importantly, most were veterans from many of Napoleon’s earlier campaigns. The Allied army numbered 67,000 with 50,000 infantry, 11,000 cavalry and 6,000 artillery soldiers with only 150 guns. Only 25,000 were actually

British, the remainder a mixture of Dutch, Belgians and Germans, with very few veterans. The Prussians had a further 48,000 men.
Wellington lost 15,000 and Blücher 7,000 dead or wounded, whilst the French lost 25,000 with over 8,000 taken prisoner.
As Sunday 18th June dawned Napoleon, although brimming with confidence about the forthcoming battle, decided to delay due to the sodden ground, eventually launching his attack around midmorning.
A combination of factors delivered the narrow victory for the Allies. Foremost was the unimpeded and timely arrival of Blücher’s Prussians, but the British infantry’s ability to withstand and counter endless French attacks during the day was key. Wellington’s leadership skills, tactical nous and selection of ground for this defensive battle was also a major contribution. Despite this Wellington later commented that Waterloo was “the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life.”
The battle lasted all day with the advantage swinging to and fro between the French and Allies, whilst death and destruction reigned. Both armies slogged it out with unwavering artillery fire, mass infantry attacks and cavalry charges, gradually eroding each other’s strength. By mid-afternoon the Prussians managed to reach the battlefield, link-up with the British and attack Napoleon’s exposed right flank, effectively giving advantage to the Allies. At some point in the early evening, after his ‘Old Guard’ failed in their late attack, Napoleon fled the battlefield, shortly followed by the remnants of his routed army. He arrived in Paris to raise new forces, but gained little support, eventually surrendering to the British. He was then exiled to the distant island of St Helena. Casualties at Waterloo were shockingly high on both sides:
For Napoleon, Waterloo was a battle with many uncharacteristic mistakes. He appeared over-confident about his chances and was dismissive about the Prussian threat. Unusually, he did not play his normal leadership role in the battle (due to ill-health it is believed) and he has been criticised for poor selection of key commanders, many of whom failed to achieve their objectives. Napoleon’s delay in starting the battle was also blamed as a contributory factor for defeat.
NAPOLEON was born into
a family of noble Italian ancestry on Corsica on 15th August 1769. He was very well educated, eventually attending the military academy in Paris. He rose to prominence through the French Revolutionary era, leading successful campaigns against enemies of the revolution, most notably in Italy. With this success came promotion and an irresistible urge to participate further in politics. With post-revolutionary France in turmoil he saw an opportunity to seize power as First Consul in 1799. In 1804 he restarted the hereditary monarchy in France, crowning himself Emperor I and shortly later also as King of Italy.
Napoleon led France through many wars, both aggressively expanding France’s empire and defending against the shifting alliances and coalitions dominating Europe at that time. Whilst ultimately responsible for France’s loss of status by 1815, as well as the deaths of many citizens, he is largely considered a genius in the operational art of war and is ranked in history as a great military commander. He was also responsible for establishing the Napoleonic Code, the first modern legal code that has influenced the law of many countries to this day. He died in exile on St Helena on 5th May 1821 but was buried in Paris in 1840.

SKILLS FOR LIFE What are “skills for life”? We need skills for life so that we can live happily. They are not just about being able to read & write, although those skills are very important. Skills for life are the kinds of skills which help us to do well at work, to get on with people, to understand money & finances, and to develop self-knowledge. It’s important that the skills we have are balanced. We need to make sure that if we’re great at, say, maths, we’re also great at getting on with people!
Why are they so important? We need to work on skills for life so that we get to thrive in life. That means reaching our full potential and living life with meaning and purpose, as well as enjoying ourselves. We don’t just learn skills for life once and that’s it… these are skills that we continue to perfect all through our lives.
Can you think of any skills for life that you are really good at? 114
There are many life skills that will help us as we go through life. Over the next few pages we will explore six of them:
1 Communication
4 Self-worth
2 Social networking
5 Compassion
3 Time management
6 Well-being
SKILLS FOR LIFE
Social networking on sites such as Facebook and Twitter can be a great way of linking up with others and networking with people already working or studying in the areas you’re interested in. But it’s really important to treat it with respect. Every comment you make online is potentially available for others to see for the foreseeable future. That means that possible future employers may be able to see comments you make now, so it’s important to post only what you would be happy to stand by. Remember there are age limits for some sites.
SKILLS FOR LIFE
2 Social networking
1 Communication We need to be able to communicate well, not just at school but when we are at work and also when we are with family and friends. The more you can develop your communication skills the better. Communication is about what we say and what we write, as well as how we do that. The way we communicate says a lot about how we present ourselves and the value we place on ourselves. We can always improve our communication skills so do ask your teachers if you would like help improving yours. Learning to be comfortable and confident when speaking in front of an audience is a great skill to develop too. 115
SKILLS FOR LIFE 4 Self-worth Self-worth is about having a sense of your personal value. It isn’t about thinking highly or uncritically of yourself. If we don’t have self-worth we may make bad life choices that we may regret later on. Developing self-worth is an invaluable life skill that we need to work on throughout our lives. If we have self-worth, we are more likely to reach our full potential and less likely to make self-destructive choices in our lives.
3 Time management We all have the same amount of time, but some make better use of it than others. If we’re really careful about not wasting time, we can achieve a lot more and still have time left over for our favourite activities. If you have a lot of school work to do, try creating a timetable for getting it done. Make sure your timetable has time set aside for hobbies and relaxation. Giving yourself blocks of time to get tasks done works well and even makes it feel as though you have more time for yourself! It is always a good idea to try and develop your time management skills, so try to explore ways of understanding how you can make the most of your time. Your teachers will be able to help you do this. 116
SKILLS FOR LIFE 5 Compassion
SKILLS FOR LIFE
Compassion is what we feel when others are suffering. It’s an important life skill. When we are compassionate we can help to support others through difficult times. And if others are compassionate towards us, they will help support us if we go through difficult times. If we don’t feel compassionate, we won’t be inspired to help others and that’s not great! When we are compassionate, we get on better with others and seek solutions to problems to help make the world a better place.
6 Well-being What does “well-being” mean? When we feel a sense of well-being, we are happy about different aspects of life. For example, we may feel happy about our school life, and about life outside school, we may have good health and we may feel confident about any challenges we have. We need to feel a sense of well-being so that we can be the best we can be. We aren’t always in control of our well-being but we can do what we can. 117

GRAMMAR Understanding grammar is the key to improving your writing & speaking skills.
NOUN A naming word. • Common noun = a person, thing or place in
general - table, pencil, window.
• Proper noun = the actual name of a person,
place or thing - Adam, Sunday, Italy (always has a capital letter).

GRAMMAR CONJUNCTION
SYNONYM
CL AUSE
Conjunctions (also known as connectives) connect phrases to form longer sentences.
A word with an identical or very similar meaning to another.
• I bought a ticket and boarded the train.
• Hot / boiling, massive / enormous, old / ancient.
A group of words usually containing a subject and verb. A main clause makes sense independently. A subordinate clause adds further information but depends on the main clause to make sense.
A word that goes before a noun to specify which, how much or how many of the noun. It can also be a possessive.
PREFIX & SUFFIX These are added to the beginning or end of a word to create a new word or to change the meaning.
PREFIX: • impossible, disappear, illogical
SUFFIX: • powerful, enjoyment, teacher
some incredible people (Subordinate clause).
A word that has an opposite meaning to another. • Always / never, cheap / expensive, selfish /
selfless, push / pull.
• My house is in a village. • He has many friends.
• I travelled the world (Main clause) and met
COMPOUND WORD A word made of two or more words. • Armchair, tablespoon, passport, underline
CONTRACTION An abbreviation in which letters are removed from the middle of a word. It can also be an abbreviation of two words in which an apostrophe replaces missing letters. • Mr. (Mister), Dr. (Doctor), St. (Saint). • It’s (it + is), they’ve (they + have), shouldn’t
(should + not).
SIMILE When a likeness is drawn between one thing and another. This is usually done for effect.
GRAMMAR

ANTONYM
• The skyscraper was as tall as a mountain. • The aeroplane glided through the air
like an eagle.

PUNCTUATION Punctuation expresses tone and meaning, but a misplaced comma or question mark can be very confusing. So, be careful!
C APITAL LETTER
QUESTION MARK ?
(PARENTHESES)
Used instead of a full stop when the sentence asks a question.
Also known as brackets. Used when you want to insert an explanation into a sentence.
• Do you own any pets?
• Paris ( the capital of France) is famous for
APOSTROPHE ’
Used at the start of a sentence, proper noun, title or an organisation.
Used in place of missing letters or to show ownership of something.
• P unctuation is very important.
• We’ ll go to the cinema tomorrow.
• S arah is going to L ondon on T uesday.
• Ben’ s house is yellow.
FULL STOP.
COMMA ,
Used at the end of a sentence, for emphasis and in some abbreviations.
A comma separates different parts of a sentence. It is used in different ways:
• Everyone is happy when the sun shines.
• In a list - I had a delicious dinner of chicken,
• The weather was hot. Every single day.
potatoes, carrots and stuffing.
the Eiffel Tower.
“QUOTATION MARKS” These are used where words have been written or spoken by someone other than the author. • “ Would you like a slice of cake?” , she asked.
COLON: Colons are used to introduce further information. • I always give the same advice: treat
everyone equally.
• To make a cake you will need the following:
eggs, butter, flour, sugar & milk.
• When quoting speech - “I love to sing”,
she said.
EXCLAMATION MARK ! Used instead of a full stop to show a strong feeling like anger, surprise or shock. • Wow, that’s amazing! 124
• To separate main and subordinate clauses -
After eating a huge dinner, I didn’t really fancy dessert.
• To add more information - John, who is
very tall, always bumps his head.
HYPHENHyphens are used between words to show their relationship. • I have a three- year- old brother. • He owns a custom- built bike.
PL ANNING AN ESSAY 2 MIDDLE
• Look for key words in the question.
What is the topic? What sort of answer should you give? An essay that asks you to discuss is very different from one that asks you to summarise. • Some questions are quite open, others very
specific. Look out for points that have to be covered. • Make a mind map. This will help you to
see how arguments connect. • Make a plan to guide your essay. How
will you order your arguments? Which are most important? How will the overall argument develop?
1 INTRODUCTION • One paragraph. • Set the scene by outlining the main points
and overall argument. • Keep it short and to the point. • Capture the reader ’s attention by choosing
words carefully. Take your time to write it.
• Each point develops into a paragraph.
Remember to ‘PEE’: introduce your point, support it with evidence (a quote, for example) and give an explanation – why is this point important? • Be careful of facts and opinions. Use phrases
such as ‘it could be said that…’
TOP TIPS Keep a note of books and websites that you have used. You might be asked to provide a bibliography. • Avoid slang and abbreviations. Vary your

PHYSICS The world is governed by hidden forces and natural laws. Physics can open your mind and inspire you to discover more.
NEWTON’S L AW OF MOTION
Charge (Q) = current (I) x time (t)
1ST L AW:
FORCE AND MOTION
An object will stay in a state of rest or in uniform motion unless acted on by an external force.
Force = mass x acceleration Momentum = mass x velocity Change in momentum = impulse = force x time
2ND L AW:
Velocity = distance time
Force = Mass x Acceleration
3RD L AW: To every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
ENERGY Work done = force x distance moved Efficiency = useful power output x 100% total power input Joule (symbol J) - The joule is a unit of work & energy. A joule of work is the result of one newton moving one metre in the direction of the force. 126
Potential difference (V) = current (l) x resistence (R)
voltage (V) in x resistance2
(resistance1 + resistance2) Resistance = voltage (V) current (I) Electrical Energy (E) = power (P) x time (t)
Moment = force x perpendicular distance of force from pivot
Kinetic Energy (KE) = 0.5 x mass (M) x velocity (V)2
Voltage (V) = energy (E) charge (Q)
Potential dividers = voltage (V) out =
The force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body and its acceleration and is in the direction of the acceleration.
Acceleration = change in velocity time Pressure = force area
ELECTRICITY
EQUATIONS OF MOTION v = u + at
u = initial velocity
s = ut + ½ at2
v = final velocity
v = u + 2as
a = acceleration

t = time s = distance
Power (P) = current (I) x voltage (V)

INTERNET SAFETY The internet is undoubtedly an incredible invention but there are dangers to watch out for. When surfing the net on your mobile, laptop or tablet, follow these golden rules to keep safe.
If you’re being bullied or are worried about a friend, Beat Bullying beatbullying.org & ChildLine childline.org.uk offer great advice. You can even create an account & talk to a mentor or counsellor. • When using a search engine, switch on the
safer search filter. Choose words carefully so you don’t see anything offensive.
PROTECTING YOURSELF • Keep your address, email and phone number
to yourself. Only close friends and family need to know these. • Think first! Embarrassing or revealing social
media profile photos can be seen by anyone. If you post on a forum or have a blog, are you happy for anyone to read it? • If someone contacts you or wants to be
‘friends’, ask yourself ‘how well do I know this person?’ before responding. • It’s a good idea to avoid using your full
name. To be extra-safe, choose another name altogether. • Keep your password to yourself and choose
one that isn’t obvious. Lock your phone with a PIN code and log out of any accounts. • Are you old enough? Some websites have
a minimum age (13 on Facebook). If you’re younger they could be unsuitable. 128
PROTECTING YOUR GADGETS • Never download an email attachment from an
unknown person. • Make sure you have anti-virus software before
downloading anything. • Downloading music and films illegally can also
result in a virus. • Your phone can get a virus too, so be careful
of the websites you choose to visit.
BULLIES & TRICKSTERS • Never meet up with someone you met online.
They might seem nice in the virtual world, but the reality could be very different. • Ignore strangers who contact you claiming to
be in trouble or in need of money.
• Ignore people who ask for private
information like bank details. A real bank would never ask you to give this information over the phone or by email. • The internet is not the real world. If someone
becomes aggressive, don’t get involved! • If you’re bullied, save any messages and tell
someone you trust. • Many websites have their own advice on what
to do if you feel threatened. Have a look at the Facebook and Twitter help pages:
www.facebook.com/help support.twitter.com/articles/20169998reporting-abusive-behavior

REVISION
Preparation is the secret to exam success. Revise properly and you’ll have no worries!
P
= PL AN
Plan your revision around your priorities. Which exam is first? Which subjects do you find hardest? Remember to be realistic when planning your time – rushed revision is unproductive revision, so start nice and early.
R
= REVISE
Whether it’s mind maps or revision cards, find out what revision method works best for you. Try revising with friends – listening to their ideas and teaching them what you’ve been learning can be very effective. Revise in a place without distractions and keep notes organised.
E
= EAT WELL & EXERCISE
A good diet is vital, so be sure to eat your five-a-day. Nuts, fish and whole grains are also good brain foods. Drink plenty of water to keep your body and brain hydrated. Get out in the fresh air as often as you can.
P
= PRACTISE
Look at past exam papers to know what to expect. After a few weeks of revision, practise them in exam conditions without looking at your notes. Ask your teacher to mark them for you to see if you’re on the right track.
A
= ASK FOR HELP
It will be tempting to revise what you already know. Don’t ignore what you don’t understand! Make sure that you ask a teacher or a friend for help before it gets too late.
R
= REST
Believe it or not, it is possible to over revise. Make sure you take a break every 45 minutes and get plenty of fresh air and sleep. It’s during sleep that our brains organise and make sense of everything that we have been learning.
E
= EXAM
Be prepared! Switch your phone off and have everything you need. Don’t try to revise just before going in. When you begin, read the questions carefully and think before answering. If you’re struggling, leave difficult questions until the end. If you have time, read through your answers and correct any mistakes.

THE UK GENERAL ELECTION A general election is scheduled for Thursday 7th May 2015. Below is some background information. The purpose of the election is to give citizens a democratic opportunity to choose their government. Democracy means rule of the people and dates back to Ancient Greece. Britain is a representative democracy, meaning citizens elect representatives (candidates from political parties or independent candidates) to represent them who become Members of Parliament or MP’s.
can form tactical alliances to create a majority and form a coalition government – as we have had since 2010. UK governments now serve fixed 5 year terms, unless of course they have to cut their term short. We are also a constitutional monarchy, meaning we have a non-political ceremonial head of state (The Queen in 2014) whilst we have a different person (The Prime Minister) who heads the Government. The ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected parliament, not with the Monarch. This compares to a presidential, or republican system where both roles are held by the same person, such as in the USA.
PARLIAMENT
WHO CAN VOTE?
There are 650 constituencies in the UK and therefore 650 seats or MP’s in Parliament.
If you are a:
In the UK we operate a parliamentary system that uses the first-past-the-post system (one winner/one seat per constituency) as opposed to proportional representation (total number of seats is divided by total percentage of votes across the whole country).
• Qualifying Commonwealth citizen;
The political party gaining a majority of seats in the election can form a government. If no one party gains a majority, some of the parties
• UK citizen; (even if you reside abroad) • Republic of Ireland citizen living in the UK;
As long as you are aged 18 or over on the day of the election then you can cast a vote for a candidate/political party of your choosing in your local parliamentary constituency. The right to vote, that all over-18s take for granted, has been a long & hard fought struggle.
Since medieval times and up to 1832 less than 2% of the population had the right to vote. Qualification was linked to the male landowning class. Thankfully this right has gradually increased to now include about 75% of the population – most over-18’s – through political action and liberal reforms. An example was the Suffragette movement in the late 19th & early 20th centuries that helped women get the vote for the first time in 1918.
DEMOCRACY & YOU You might not yet be 18 but it doesn’t mean you can’t make a difference: • You can register for voting from the age of 16 • There is a campaign to lower the voting age
