Land Based: Synoptic Assignment Preparation

What we are learning: (component knowledge)

Synoptic assignment:
The point at which we start this section depends upon the successful completion of the 3 content areas listed (Land use, Science & Technology). My aim is for it to be completed by Christmas of year 11.

In January, we will complete a previous Synoptic Assignment together and I will then mark them to the standards set out by our awarding body. From this, you can plan improvements to your methods etc.
No Later than the end of February, you will complete the "unseen" assignment set by the awarding body in examination conditions. You will receive a brief and you will have to produce a limited set of notes which you will be able to take into the following assessment sessions. It is really important that you use your space (maximum of two sides of A4) wisely.
The assignment will consist of 6 sections (these may alter slightly depending on the assignment).
1) Risk assessments
2) Soil testing and analysis
3) A 2000 word report which explains your plan relating to the brief
4a) Care of animals
4b) Handling of animals
4c) Completion of physical health checks of animals

Your work, along with my record sheets will be uploaded to the awarding body for moderation.
