Grade 10 Term 2
Dear Grade, 10 Learner
The past three years was uniquely challenging years for you as learners, and it’s no
surprise that it left it mark on your education and well-being. While analysing the cost of
the pandemic, we use the term” learning losses” to capture the reality that learners were
not given the opportunity to do all the learning they would have completed in a typical
year. Distance learning was especially challenging for many learners. Despite the virus
that is still with us, we want to prioritise your education to be more resilient, fair, and
inclusive with access for all learners so that you can have a successful school year. We
know that the pandemic has added an extra layer of panic to the already stressful times
that high school learners experience.
Sometimes schooling can seem overwhelming, and that can be especially so with
regards to exams. In this revision booklet you will find information, activities and tips that
can help you with the revision required to do your best in any exam, task, or test. By
getting to grips with your revision you will help to manage any stress that you might face
during the year. We have designed this revision guide to help you to work through your
first term curriculum. You will find activities, notes, diagrams, and templates in this
booklet that will help you to learn concepts or acquire skills needed to do your tasks and
tests. Complete all of these.
Ensure that you understand and can apply the additional notes so that you are
adequately prepared for the assignments and examination.
Doing the activities will allow you to reinforce and embed school learning. It will also
identify what knowledge you do know and what you don't know. It makes links with other
learning and will identify and fill gaps in your knowledge.
Nelson Mandela said that “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to
change the world”. We echo this sentiment, and we hope that this revision booklet will
contribute to your growth an own development.
We would like you to succeed, so we will help you with your studies by assisting you all
the way. We wish you well and hope that you will enjoy working through this booklet until
you have attained mastery of the knowledge and skills in preparation for your tests,
assignments, and especially exams.
