YOUR 2014 - 2015 DIARY DESIGN INSPIRATION
The Evolution Of Art
Art is always evolving and being reinvented. Each month of your diary is a celebration of pioneering movements that you can learn more about here.
Abstract ExpressioNISM - August
Originating in New York in the 1940s, this vibrant form of art spread throughout the USA and Europe. Jackson Pollock is credited with establishing the movement, particularly for popularising ‘drip’ painting. Well-known works include the very expressive ‘Full Fathom Five’ (1947) and ‘Convergence’ (1952). Mark Rothko was equally influential, known for painting large rectangles to express “big emotions” like tragedy. Famous works include ‘Orange, Red, Yellow’ (1956).
www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/abex/hd_abex.htm Jackson Pollock
Cubism - October
The movement began early in the 20th century in Paris, but influenced artists throughout Europe who developed other forms of Cubism. Spanish artist Pablo Picasso co-developed the movement with Georges Braque, creating celebrated artwork such as ‘The Factory at Horta de Ebro’ (1909). Braque, a French artist, used shades of similar colours in many paintings to emphasise space and shape. Well-known pieces include ‘Bottle and Fishes’ (1910-1912).
www.theartstory.org/movement-cubism.htm
Futurism - December
Georges Braque
The movement began in early 20th century Italy, inspired by the poet Marinetti who had ambitions for a very modern Italy. Pioneers of the movement included Umberto Boccioni, an Italian painter, sculptor and printmaker. ‘The City Rises’ (1910), a bright and vibrant painting, is considered his first piece of true Futurist artwork. Giacomo Balla, another Italian, expressed motion in paintings – a central feature of Futurism. ‘Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash’ (1912) is one example.
www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/futurism Umberto Boccioni
Op Art - February
This art of clean lines and illusions originated in Paris in the 1930s. Its beginnings lie in the creations of Hungarian-born painter Victor Vasarely. Among his designs is the ‘Zebra’ print (1937) that has inspired later generations of artists. Bridget Riley popularised the movement in Britain from the 1960s onwards. An example of her work is ‘Movement in Squares’ (1961).
www.op-art.co.uk
Street Art - May
Victor Vasarely
Its origins can be seen in the street graffiti of America during World War Two, but it gained popularity in New York in the 1980s with the likes of the American Keith Haring. His famous contributions included a mural on the Berlin wall in 1986. Banksy, a contemporary British artist, creates distinctive stencil murals. One of his most famous is of three children pledging allegiance to a flag made from a well known supermarket plastic bag (2008).
www.globalstreetart.com Banksy
Surrealism - July
Surrealist art began in Paris in the 1920s, influenced by the psychology of Sigmund Freud. Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali are perhaps the most prominent surrealists. Among Magritte’s creations is ‘The Son of Man’ (1964), a painting of a businessman with his face hidden by an apple. Dali’s surrealism is clear in paintings such as ‘The Persistence of Memory’ (1931), a picture of melting clocks that symbolises the fluidity of time.

One hundred years ago this month WW1 commenced. Following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914 and the subsequent escalation of hostilities across Europe, Germany executed the ‘Schlieffen Plan’ and invaded France. Britain sent the BEF in mid-August 1914 to assist the French in confronting the Germans. Do you know what BEF stands for?

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 118 -121.

75 years since food rationing. On 8th January 1940, during WW2, food was first rationed. The German blockade on trade into Britain meant that food was in short supply and had to be shared out. Wasting food later became a criminal offence and other items, like petrol & clothing, were also rationed.

January 20th is the 750th anniversary of what is widely regarded as the first ever Parliament of England involving citizens not of noble birth. The attendance at Parliament of knights and burgesses historically became known as the summoning of “the Commons”, a term derived from the Norman French word “commune”, literally translated as the “community of the realm”.

Problem solving abilities are important skills for life. This is about being able to break a task down into small stages so that you can reach solutions for the issues you identify. You’ll find that problem solving means you use knowledge and information from all the subjects you study! Can you think of a problem you have solved recently, either in school or outside? See pages 118 - 121.

St David’s Day, on the 1st March, is a celebration of the patron saint of Wales. He founded a church in Wales in the 6th century and preached Christianity to the people. Today, he is a symbol of Welsh culture and many people think it should become a Welsh national holiday. See pages 118 - 121.

It’s Easter this week. Easter is the Christian festival celebrating the resurrection of Christ. Easter is a moveable feast, which means the date can change every year, but it is established as the first Sunday after the full moon following the March equinox. There are many Easter traditions such as the giving of eggs, which are a traditional symbol of fertility. In Christianity Easter eggs symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus. See World Religions, page 134.

On the 19th April, 1770, after charting the coast of New Zealand for six months, Captain James Cook sighted Eastern Australia. He was the first European known to do so. They landed on the shore of what is now known as Botany Bay, named after the discovery of plants and flowers never-before-seen by Cook’s botanists.

200 years since the
Field marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington
WELLESLEY was born into
a wealthy Anglo-Irish aristocratic family in Ireland, the third of five brothers on 1st May 1769.
He showed little promise during his education and late teens but joined the army with a commission in 1787. His first proposal to his wife-tobe was rejected because he was considered to be a young man in debt, with very poor prospects. This spurred him on in his new career. He gained considerable military experience during campaigns in the Netherlands, India & Denmark and rose to prominence 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. In 1815 he successfully led the Anglo-Allied army at Waterloo before becoming Commander-in-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. 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”
Battle of
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
Waterloo
of the Royal Scots Greys Cavalry Regiment By Lady Elizabeth Butler
were actually British, the remainder a mixture of Dutch, Belgians and Germans, with very few veterans. The Prussians had a further 48,000 men. 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 mid-morning. 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 midafternoon 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: Wellington lost 15,000 and Blücher 7,000 dead or wounded, whilst the French lost 25,000 with over 8,000 taken prisoner. 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.” 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.
18th June 1815
Napoleon Bonaparte
NAPOLEON
was born into a family of noble Italian ancestry on Corsica on 15th August 1769. He was 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.

King Henry VIII was born on 28th June 1491 in Greenwich. He would go on to become one of the most infamous rulers of England. He had six wives, but not many met a very happy end. They were Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Kathryn Howard and Katherine Parr. Use this ditty to remember the fate of each wife: “Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived”

Grammar Understanding grammar is the key to improving your writing and 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). • Abstract noun = a concept or idea that can’t be touched – love, anger, kindness.
Pronoun A pronoun is used in place of a noun or noun phrase. There are many different types of pronoun. Four of these are:
• Personal pronouns – I, you, he, she, it, we, they • Interrogative pronouns – who, whom, whose, which, what… • Possessive pronouns – my, your, his, her, its, our, their…
GRAMMAR
• Indefinite pronouns – all, any, anything, everybody, everything, many, nobody, several…
Verb Verbs are ‘doing’ and ‘being’ words. These can be active (the action is done by the main person or thing) and passive verbs (when the action is done to the main person or thing). The verb also expresses the tense.
• The magician will disappear. (Future tense. Active). • The fish was eaten by the shark. (Past tense. Passive). 126 126
Adjective An adjective describes a noun.
• The big ship sailed on the blue sea.
Comparative A comparative compares one thing to another.
• My brother is taller than me.
Superlative A superlative describes the highest degree of a characteristic. It is formed by adding ‘-est’ to the end of an adjective or adverb, or by putting ‘most’ before it.
• Today is the coldest day on record. • That was the most exciting film I have ever seen!
Adverb This is a word used to modify (give further information about) an adjective, verb or another adverb.
• The very tall runner ran quickly.
Preposition A preposition tells you the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. These are often a position or motion.
• A deer ran across the road and into the woods. • The dog was under the table.
Grammar
Conjunction
Compound word
Conjunctions (also known as connectives) connect phrases to form longer sentences.
A word made of two or more words.
Determiner A word that goes before a noun to specify which, how much or how many of the noun. It can also be a possessive.
• 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.
• My house is in a village.
• Mr. (Mister), Dr. (Doctor), St. (Saint).
• He has many friends.
• It’s (it + is), they’ve (they + have), shouldn’t (should + not).
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
Synonym A word with an identical or very similar meaning to another.
• Hot / boiling, massive / enormous, old / ancient.
Antonym A word that has an opposite meaning to another.
• Always / never, cheap / expensive, selfish / selfless, push / pull.
Clause 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.
• I travelled the world (Main clause) and met some incredible people (Subordinate clause).
Simile When a likeness is drawn between one thing and another. This is usually done for effect.
• The skyscraper was as tall as a mountain. • The aeroplane glided through the air like an eagle.

Planning an essay Preparation • 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.
3. Conclusion • One paragraph. • This is similar to your introduction. Summarise the points you have made and end with a final statement that answers the question. • Never introduce a new point in the conclusion!
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 vocabulary and keep it formal. Above all, be clear! • Proof read! It’s easy to miss small mistakes the first time round. Get other people to read through it too. • Never rush your essay. Ideas develop and grow over time and the earlier you start, the better the final result.
• 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…’
For more help on essay writing, try visiting some of these sites...
• Don’t wander from the point. To keep your answer relevant, refer back to the question now and again. • Ask yourself how and why, not just who, where and when. • Don’t write a list! Paragraphs must link to form a cohesive argument.

Force = mass x acceleration
Kinetic Energy (KE) = 0.5 x mass (M) x velocity (V)²
Momentum = mass x velocity Change in momentum = impulse = force x time
Work done = force x distance moved Efficiency =
Velocity = distance time Acceleration = change in velocity time Pressure = force
useful power output total power input
x 100%
Joule (symbol J) – The joule is a unit of work and energy. A joule of work is the result of one newton moving one metre in the direction of the force.
area Moment = f orce x perpendicular distance of force from pivot
Newtons Law of Motion 1st Law:
2 nd Law:
3rd Law:
An object will stay in a state of rest or in uniform motion unless acted on by an external force. 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. Force = Mass x Acceleration To every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

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.
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.
INTERNET SAFETY
• When using a search engine, switch on the safer search filter. Choose words carefully so you don’t see anything offensive.
Protecting your Gadgets • Never download an email attachment from an unknown person. • Make sure you have anti-virus software before downloading anything.
www.thinkuknow.co.uk www.digizen.org • 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 and 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
If you’re being bullied or are worried about a friend, Beat Bullying and ChildLine are great sources of advice. You can even create an account and talk to a mentor or counsellor. www.beatbullying.org

Revision Preparation is the secret to exam success. Revise properly and you’ll have no worries!
Plan 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.
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.
Eat well & exercise A good diet is vital, so be sure to eat your fivea-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.
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.
Ask for help It’ll be tempting to revise what you already know. Don’t ignore what you don’t understand! Ask a teacher or friend for help before it’s too late.
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.
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.
You’re bound to be nervous during the exam period, but if you’ve revised properly there’s no need to worry. If you need more tips on exam stress, visit the Stress Busting website: www.stressbusting.co.uk/how-to-dealwith-exam-stress

The UK General Election A general election is scheduled for Thursday 7th May 2015. Below is some background information for the uninitiated: Democracy
Who can vote?
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.
If you are a:
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.
Parliament There are 650 constituencies in the UK and therefore 650 seats or MP’s in Parliament. 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). 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 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.
• UK citizen; (even if you reside abroad) • Qualifying Commonwealth citizen; • 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-18 year olds take for granted, has been a long and 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 and early 20th century that helped women get the vote for the first time in 1918.
Democracy and 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 www.votesat16.org And there is a Youth Parliament www.ukyouthparliament.org.uk
"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time” Winston Churchill 135
