You'll be taking your attainment test next Friday (17th) and so your homework is to revise for that. We will have a revision lesson on Monday so you'll have a chance to revise further then and to ask me any questions you might have.

In the meantime, the list below explains the format of the test and what you will need to know for each section. 

1) The vocabulary section will only require a knowledge of the words in Chapters 4-6.

2) The grammar section will test your knowledge of: possessive adjectives, positive and negative commands, the future tense endings (1st & 2nd conjugation only), and the basic uses of the cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative) including the accusative of time 'how long for'. You will also be tested on noun endings for 1st, 2nd and 3rd declension nouns. 

3) The translation will be a very short story (rather than sentences).

4) The Culture and Context will focus on: prophecies, oracles, and the Sibylline books. You will find all the information on pages 176 and 179. 

You can revise in any way you please. One good strategy for doing this might be to continuing to fill out the 'Year 9 Grammar Notes' that you all started in the first half of term.
