How to use your knowledge organiser You are expected to bring your knowledge organiser to the academy every day

This knowledge organiser contains all the key knowledge that you need to know for your learning this term. You should spend at least 30 minutes every evening using the

knowledge organiser to complete a learning homework. You should record the subject or subjects on the learning homework page and show this to your form tutor on a weekly

basis.

You will be tested in lessons on your learning from this knowledge organiser.

In some lessons, your teacher will ask you to learn specific sections of the knowledge organiser, but otherwise you should work through each subject independently, trying to

memorise the information in the booklet. The more you can remember, the more useful it will be for your lessons.

How to learn using a knowledge organiser The best way to use a knowledge organiser is to revise the information so that you can recall it when you are asked. The best methods to do this are:

▪ Look, cover, write and check the key words and knowledge lists

▪ Ask a family or friend member to test you on the knowledge

▪ Create a mind map to remember the information in each section

▪ Write down on a blank piece of paper as much as you can remember from the organiser

▪ Use the knowledge organiser to help you complete work in school and at home

Art

Primary Colours are the 3 main colours. They cannot be made but are used to make other colours. Secondary Colours are made my mixing 2 primary colours together. Complementary Colours are opposite on the colour wheel. Harmonious Colours are next to each other on the colour wheel.

Tint – when you add white to a colour to make it lighter.

Shade – when you add black to make the colour darker.

To make your drawings look more realistic, you should try to use different marks to show textures and surfaces. You can do this by changing the direction, pressure or length of your marks.

Colour Vocabulary

Pencils come in different grades, the softer the pencil, the

darker the tone. H= Hard B=Black

In art the most useful pencils for shading are 4B and 6B. If you

pencil has no grade it is most likely to be a HB (hard black) this

is a drawing pencil.

Grades of Pencils

This is the way that you

place or position your

objects.

Rules of thirds.

You divide your page

horizontally and

vertically into 9 equal

sections and by placing

the focus of your image

where the lines

intersect, you can

create a balanced

composition.

Rules of odds.

An odd number is

supposed to be more

interesting. Your eye

moves around the

image more.

Composition

A still life is a

group of

inanimate

objects –such as

plants or bottles.

To prevent your drawings from looking flat, you

should use a range of tones and marks. Pressing

harder and lighter and layering with your pencil

creates different tones. Use the direction of

your pencil to help enhance the 2D surface and

you can include shadows which will also help

objects appear 3 dimensional.

Computing

Photoshop

Photoshop An image editing software developed by Adobe. Photoshop allows users

to manipulate, crop, resize, and correct colour on digital photos.

Lossy Lossy file compression results in lost data and quality from the original

version. Lossy compression is typically associated with image files, such as

JPEGs, but can also be used for audio files, like MP3s files.

Jpeg JPEG is short for Joint Photographic Experts Group and is the most

popular among the image formats used on the web. JPEG files are very

‘lossy’, meaning so much information is lost from the original image when

you save it in a JPEG file.

This is because JPEG discards most of the information to keep the image

file size small; which means some degree of quality is also lost.

Gif GIF, short for Graphics Interchange Format, is limited to the 8-bit palette

with only 256 colours. GIF is still a popular image format on the internet

because image size is relatively small compared to other image

compression types.

BMP The Windows Bitmap or BMP files are image files within the Microsoft

Windows operating system. These files are large and uncompressed, but

the images are rich in colour, high in quality, simple and compatible in all

Windows OS and programs. BMP files are also called raster. BMP files

are made of millions and millions of dots called ‘pixels,’ with different

colours and arrangements to come up with an image or pattern.

PNG PNG or (Portable Network Graphics) is a recently introduced format. PNG

has been approved as a standard since 1996. It is an image format

specifically designed for the web. PNG is, in all aspects, the superior

version of the GIF.

Layers In graphics software, a layer is the term used to describe the

different levels at which you can place an object or image file.

House Style A house style is a set of rules which state how all documents and written

communication from a business should be formatted.

Such as. - The colours to be used. - The font style and size. - Where the

logo should appear. - Whether text should be right, Centre or fully

justified.

CMYK

The CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black)) colour model is a

Subtractive colour model, used to describe the printing process

itself.

RGB RGB (red, green and blue) refers to a system for representing

Colours to be used on a computer display.

Pixel A pixel is a single point in a graphic image.

Bitmap

A Bitmap image is made up of a large number of dots or pixels

which look like a picture as long as you are sitting a reasonable

distance away from the screen. As soon as you zoom in close or

enlarge the image, you will see the individual pixels.

Vector

A vector graphic is not made up of pixels like a bitmap but is made

up of a set of instructions to the computer of how to draw the

image from scratch.

For example, the vector image might contain the command: "Draw

a line from position A to position B on the computer screen".

When this 'vector image' is loaded into a program that

understands how to deal with it, a line gets drawn from A to B.

Filters Filtering is a technique for modifying or enhancing an image.

Thunkable

Key Vocabulary Definition

Computational Thinking It is a set of problem-solving methods to solve solutions for a program.

Algorithm A systematic process of instructions.

Thunkable A scratch-based block code program which allows the user to design and create

Compile The process of translating our program code into machine code

Code Creating code using blocks to make a program. This is compiled on to the device and can be flashed.

Decomposition Breaking down a problem into smaller steps.

Abstraction Picking out what is needed to make a program and removing what is unnecessary.

Variables A memory store in a program (think of it as a box which stores a piece of data)

Coordinates A system, which enables us to locate the position of an object using a horizontal (x) and vertical (y). For example a pixel on a screen

Object Manipulation To manipulate objects into working as what they are being programmed to do.

Object Similar to a sprite in Scratch, the object are parts of the app that will be created to be manipulated. For example if you made a game, the object could be a character.

This will always specify an audience, for example peers, a head teacher, parents, readers of a particular newspaper, magazine or blog.

You may be asked to write an article, report, talk, speech, letter, blog post.

You may wish to construct an audience as an integral part of their work, ‘My granddad asked me to explain...’, ‘my five-year-old sister asked me what it was like when I started school...’,

You must be able to keep this voice consistent and effective throughout the response.

The structure of the form, its sentences and paragraphs need to be carefully planned and written for effect.

Parts of a paragraph:

▪ Topic sentence – tells the reader the main idea of what the paragraph will be about.

▪ Supporting sentence 1 – gives specific details relating to the main idea.

▪ Supporting sentence 2 – gives another set of specific details supporting the main idea.

▪ Supporting sentence 3 - gives another set of specific details supporting the main idea.

▪ Concluding sentence – refers to the topic sentence and sums up the main idea of the paragraph.

TIPTOP

▪ Time – you move to a new period of time. ▪ Place – you move to a different place/location. ▪ Topic – you move from one topic to another. ▪ Person – you bring a new person into your writing.

Food and nutrition Obesity The term obese describes a person who's very overweight, with a lot of body fat. It's a common problem in the UK that's estimated to affect around 1 in every 4 adults and around 1 in every 5 children aged 10 to 11. Risks of obesity It's very important to take steps to tackle obesity because, as well as causing obvious physical changes, it can lead to a number of serious and potentially life-threatening conditions. These include: ▪ type 2 diabetes ▪ coronary heart disease ▪ some types of cancer, such as breast cancer and bowel cancer stroke Obesity can also affect your quality of life and lead to psychological problems, such as depression and low self-esteem. Causes of obesity ▪ Obesity is generally caused by consuming more calories, particularly those in fatty and sugary foods, than you burn off through physical activity. The excess energy is stored

by the body as fat. ▪ Obesity is an increasingly common problem because for many people modern living involves eating excessive amounts of cheap high-calorie food and spending a lot of time

sitting down at desks, on sofas or in cars.

Performing Arts – Dance Physical Skills:

Physical skills are the skills that give us the ability to perform a wider range of movements safely with control and correct technique.

Skill Definition

Extension The lengthening of body parts outwards. E.g. Straight arms and pointed toes

Flexibility The range of movement possible in the joints/muscles

Coordination The ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly and efficiently.

Posture The way the body is held

Stamina Ability to maintain physical and mental energy over periods of time.

Performance/Interpretive skills: Performance skills are the skills that allow you to engage and connect with your audience.

Timing Performing the correct movement at the correct time. This should be in time with your group

Musicality How in time you are with the music

Energy How much physical effort you apply to the performance

Facial Expressions

Animating the face to engage with your audience/communicate the theme of your performance

Projection Projecting your movements outwards into the space with appropriate energy.

Dynamic Awareness

Noticing and applying the correct quality to each movement. For example: sharp, soft, fluid etc.

Choreographic Devices: Choreographic devices are the tools that we use to make our choreography more interesting and original.

Canon Performing the same movement one after another.

Unison Performing the same movement at the same time

Formation The position you stand in to perform.

Levels The height at which you perform your movement

Repetition Repeating the same movement or phrase more than once

Accumulation Gaining dancers as a phrase is performed

Juxtaposition Showing a contrast on stage. This can be applied using speed or style etc

Fragmentation Dividing the dance into smaller chunks and reordering this to create a new phrase

Performing Arts – Dance Key Question: What is a stimulus? A stimulus is the starting point/theme of a dance. Anything can be used as a stimulus as long as it allows the choreographer to generate ideas for movement. The stimulus of a dance can be communicated to the audience through movement or through constituent features.

What are constituent features? Constituent features demonstrate the creative intentions of a performance outside of the movement. They are categorised as the following:

• Lighting

• Sound

• Staging/Set

• Costume

• Props

RADS: When creating a piece of choreography from a stimulus it is useful to consider RADS. RADS are used to ensure that the features of a performance communicate the stimulus to the audience. R- Relationships Who you dance with on stage/How you dance with others. For example solo, duet, ensemble, and quartet. A – Action The movement that you perform. D – Dynamics The quality that you attach to each movement for example fluid, sharp, soft etc. S – Space The area in which you perform your dance. The formation, level and shape and size of your movement.

Top tips when choreographing a dance: 1. Analyse the stimulus – write down all of your initial

ideas when looking at your stimulus. This can include facts colours, textures, themes, era’s etc.

2. Generate more than one initial response and explore your ideas before choosing your final idea

3. Generate a motif that communicates your stimulus 4. Pick a piece of music that will communicate the

stimulus to your audience/compliment your dance 5. Motif development – develop your motif using

choreographic devices and RADS. 6. Structure – Choose a structure for your dance that

allows you to communicate your stimulus with the audience.

7. Rehearse and Refine – Rehearse your movement, use self and peer assessment to refine your ideas.

8. Perform & Evaluate – Perform your final piece of choreography. Evaluate this once you have performed.

Example Stimuli: ▪ A Topic ▪ A Picture ▪ A Poem ▪ A piece of music/song lyrics ▪ A professional work ▪ A person ▪ A story ▪ An abstract idea ▪ A video ▪ A prop ▪ A piece of clothing

“Jet plane headed up to the sky Spread wings in the clouds, getting high”

Types of Structure: Narrative – The dance tells a clear story in chronological order Rondo – Having 3 or more themes in a piece of choreography but always retuning to a reoccurring theme in between each section (A, B, A, C, A) Ternary - A three-part choreographic structure. The second section contrasts with the first section (ABA). The third section is a development of the first section. Binary – A two-part structure (AB) that has two self-contained themes. These may be linked through tempo or type of movement etc.

5 basic dance actions that should be

included in all motifs:

1. Jump 2. Hop 3. Roll 4. Turn 5. Gesture

Key words for choreography: • Stimulus – The starting point for a

dance

• Motif – A short phrase of movement including all of the 5 basic dance actions – 5 basic movements that must be included in all pieces of choreography

• Motif development – Developing an original motif using choreographic devices and RADS.

• Structure – How the dance is pieced together to communicate the stimulus

Historical Context ▪ Macbeth is a play written around 1606 (Elizabethan Era) by

William Shakespeare. ▪ Shakespeare was writing for the theatre during the reigns of

Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. ▪ The plays he wrote around the time Queen Elizabeth was in

control such as Midsummer night’s dreams contain themes of confidence, happiness and love.

▪ However, the plays he wrote during the reign of King James such as Macbeth were much more cynical and dark reflecting the insecurities of King James that were caused by the Gunpowder Plot.

▪ The Elizabethan Age was an age of discovery and of expansion.

▪ The concerns of the time were reflected in Shakespeare's plays, many of which feature kings and queens struggling to hold onto their power or having it taken from them by someone considered evil.

▪ It was a deeply religious time. ▪ Lots of people believed in witchcraft and were terrified by it.

Religious Studies Keywords Half-term four: Philosophy

1. Philosophy: the study of the nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.

2. Moral dilemma: is a conflict in which you have to choose between two or more actions and have moral reasons for choosing each action.

3. Allegory: a story or poem that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, which is usually moral or political.

4. Illusion: an appearance or impression that isn’t true

5. Design: a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is made.

6. Teleological Argument: design argument

7. Cosmological Argument: causation argument

8. Prime Mover: the first cause of all things

9. Empirical evidence: knowledge comes from what we see and hear in the world

Key information

10. Three famous philosophers are called Socrates, Aristotle and Plato.

11. Representation in Plato’s Cave: a) the cave - people who believe that knowledge comes from what we see and hear in the world – empirical evidence. The cave shows that believers of empirical knowledge are trapped in a ‘cave’ of misunderstanding, b) the shadows - if you believe that what you see should be taken as truth, then you are just seeing a shadow of the truth. This isn’t reality, c) the escaping prisoners - the Philosopher, who looks for knowledge outside of the cave and outside of the senses, d) the sun - philosophical truth and knowledge senses.

12. Evidence of the design argument includes: a) Isaac Newton’s fingerprint - billions of people, all with different finger prints, b) beautiful world – sunsets, views from mountain tops and other beautiful things in nature can’t have been an accident, they must have been designed, c) Paley’s Watch - if you assume a pocket watch has a designer, you should assume the much more complicated world does too, d) ordered world – the water cycle, DNA etc. are perfect and work too well to be an accident, they must have been designed.

13. A medieval Christian thinker, Thomas Aquinas, talked about “the unmoved mover” or “prime mover”.

14. Nothing can change by itself, so everything has to be moved by something else that is in motion. The chain of movers must have a beginning otherwise nothing would ever have started moving. There must be a first unmoved mover that causes the motion in all things – Aquinas said that must be God.

15. The cause is what makes something happen and the effect is what happens, for example, the cause is someone throwing a ball, the effect is the window smashes.

Sources of wisdom and authority - SOWAs

16. “Wise men talk because they have something to say. Fools talk because they have to say something.” - Plato

17. “There is nothing wrong with saying that things can come into existence without a cause.” – David Hume

18. “Just because everything within the universe needs a cause, it does not mean that the universe as a whole needs a cause.” - Bertrand Russell
