Timetable

It can be helpful to colour-code your timetable by subject.

This can make it easier to see when your classes fall during the week. 

Take this timetable:

It can be a lot clearer when you fill in your subjects using different colours:

Now we can see what we have:

That makes a lot of classes – 42 in a week!

It’s a lot easier to spot when the next maths or English class is though and when you might have a double or even a spare class.

You can colour code a lot of things; like notes, exam schedules, homework or revision plans.  It’s a great way to organise, check out this YouTube video on how to colour code like a pro

This is an example of a typical school timetable:

It might look a bit confusing at first but this is how you’d read it:

On Monday at 09.00: First years in Form 3 have History in Prefab One with teacher Linda Stephens

On Monday at 09.40: First years in Form 3 have Maths in Room 8 with teacher Liam Halsey

It goes on:

On Monday at 10.20: First years in Form 3 have French in Computer Room 1 with teacher Anne Finlay

On Monday at 11.00: Everyone has their 15-minute break

On Monday at 11.15: First years in Form 3 have Business Studies in Computer Room 1 with teacher Mary McManus

On Monday at 11.55: First years in Form 3 have a double class of Technical Drawing in the Tech Room with teacher John Gilbert

Hopefully it’s beginning to make a bit more sense.  

Classes are 4o minutes long each and you finish at 4.00pm every day Monday to Thursday and at 1.15pm on Friday.  Nice!
