Learning Line:



Reflection:
Primary School
At primary school I learnt basic skills as a child. This includes skills such as communication skills, as I communicated with new and different people. I also learnt basic numeracy and literacy skills, along with learning some new sports.

Secondary School
Here I learnt how to communicate better by doing presentations to the class and various talks. I learnt the basics for more subjects during the first three years, a few of which I continued to study further during my last two years at secondary school (my GCSEs). Within this these subjects I learnt how to read, write and speak in French. I also learnt to more sports, for example cricket and athletics. Lastly my grammatical skills improved throughout my English GCSEs.

Sixth Form
During this time I took three A-Levels in two subjects of my choice, meaning that I learnt these subjects in much more detail. I furthered my communications skills as I had to more presentations to a wider audience and also took part in various discussions. In addition I learnt to work to deadlines, which improved my organisational skills. I learnt very useful project management skills, as I studied a unit on project management for my ICT A-Level. My A-Levels meant that I had to research and use various sources, so these skills were also improved.

Learnt to Drive
Passing my driving test has given me more confidence and means that I can easily travel to work and university.

Part-Time Job (Fed Ex)
This job has improved my communication skills further, as I have to communicate with different departments, in different ways within Fed Ex. This includes both written and verbal formats. My organisational skills have also improved as I have to prioritise specific shipments.

University
I am hoping that university will give me all the necessary skills that I require to get a job when I leave. This includes skills such as Web Design, Coding and Programming, and various skills to help when I start work.
