Year 5 student Oscar worked on recognising and using homophones versus homographs, and improved reading comprehension skills by analysing a historical text.
Year 8 student Jakob focused on writing body paragraphs for his English speech, including developing topic sentences and refining paragraph structure.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student explored percentages, fractions, and decimals—particularly finding the percentage of a whole number both directly and in reverse—while practising careful reading of multi-step maths questions.
In Year 10 Maths, one student left several homework tasks incomplete and struggled to recall material from the previous week, making it difficult to build on new concepts. "She could have some specific questions she had trouble with throughout the previous week ready, if she wanted to," a tutor observed.
Meanwhile, a Year 8 student often guessed answers in problem-solving rather than writing out logical steps—this led to repeated mistakes in algebra that weren't spotted until feedback was given.
Another senior student forgot key materials for lessons and did not always bring completed assignments for review, slowing progress on targeted skills.
One Sherwood tutor noticed a big shift in Year 10 student Jakob, who started openly discussing essay feedback and even suggested his own improvements—whereas he used to just listen quietly.
In a recent session, Ethan (Year 7) completed all his homework before the lesson and was able to correct mistakes in his story draft on his own, instead of waiting for prompts.
Meanwhile, Isabelle in Year 4 has become much more focused during maths lessons; she now confidently explains her jump and split strategies out loud and even taught them back to the tutor last week.
