SCIENCE REVISION GUIDE & WORKBOOK
Available on ParentMail - Deadline Monday 2 November
We would like to give you an opportunity to purchase a Science revision guide and workbook for Key Stage 3. You may have already purchased the revision guide for older siblings, so please ensure that you haven’t already done so. The details are as follows:
- KS3 Science Study Guide – Higher ISBN: 9781841462301
- KS3 Science Workbook ISBN: 9781841462394
This CGP Revision Guide explains everything students need to know for Key Stage Three Science. Every topic is explained with clear, friendly notes, diagrams and examples, and there are practice questions with answers at the back to test the crucial skills.
The workbook gives practice questions which pupils can use for revision for end of topic tests or end of year tests. It covers content for both year 7 and 8 science.
There is no obligation to purchase the books and we will not use them in school. They will be for home use so you can support your child in their independent learning.
The cost of the guide is £3.85 and the workbook is £6.85. They can easily be paid for via ParentMail. The deadline for orders is Monday 2 November at 3.30pm. We will place the order after this date and, when received, the books will be handed out to students in their classes. Please be advised that we cannot accept any orders after this date.
If your child qualifies for Pupil Premium, the guide and workbook will automatically be ordered for you and given to your child.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any issues relating to this.
