Children should be registered through the website by booking and paying for the workshop.
Children will receive their booklets at the start of the week. These booklets are filled with exercises and tasks to complete as a group and individually throughout the course of the week.
The marking and feedback within the booklets is extensive and will give you a good indication of the areas in which your child excelled and where they may need improvement. You will also have the chance to talk to the teacher at pick-up, provided you arrive on time.
We cover these key areas:
7+ and 8+: Tasks range from making and building activities. Working together in a group and taking turns. Completing word puzzles, block puzzles, reading out loud and answering mental maths questions. Spelling words and writing tasks. Listening skills and co-operation. For example children are taught to play a card game and then asked to explain the game to a partner.
11+: Tasks range from looking at pictures, discussing complex questions, working out Maths and science problems and completing activities. Group discussions help children to gain confidence in their own thoughts and opinions on a variety of topics. They also give the children many ideas to use for the real interviews, promoting confidence.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Once committed to a course/workshop/exam (by completion of an online booking), a contract exists between you and Yellowbird Education. You agree to the following terms:
Passing the entrance exams is often just the first step. Schools also want to get to know the individual behind the test scores. It is likely that your child will be interviewed by their prospective schools and may be invited to attend an activity day, often in a small group. Interview Skills is not about teaching children exactly what to say. This defeats the purpose of an interview and will be noticed by experienced interviewers. Instead, our sessions will help your child to think on their feet and offer natural responses to a range of typical interview questions, showing a reflection of who they are and what they are passionate about. They will develop confidence when meeting new people in unfamiliar situations, work comfortably in a group and share their ideas eloquently while respectfully listening to others.
