one of the first pieces of information you will be given in september will be your timetable it s very important because it not only tells you which lessons you will have that day but it also gives you a clue about the equipment you will need to pack in your bag the night before it also tells you what time each lesson starts and finishes and in which room they will take place if you haven t got a watch yet it might be a good idea to buy one to practise telling the time and getting to places on time the timetable will also let you know which teacher you will have for each subject instead of just one teacher you will be taught different subjects by different teachers the timetable will have the teacher s initials printed underneath the name of the lesson eg co mrs coldwell you will have 5 different subjects every day and some will be in special rooms for example science will usually take place in a laboratory wright robinson college has a two week timetable so you will have to remember whether you are on week one or week two f misc/faye transition/new intake 9-10/transition workbook 8
