Alternatively you can log straight into Unifrog.org and take a look for yourselves. You will continue to use Unifrog throughout your time in school so that by the time you reach Year 11 and Sixth form you will have a good knowledge and able to use it to the best of your ability.
Also you should now be recording any Activities and Competencies that will help towards your future and that you have achieved during your time at school.
You may have joined the Cadets, Scouts, doing your Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award, Music grades, Dance grades etc, all of these will add up by the time you get to 6th form or college and therefore you can start recording some Activities and Competencies of things you have achieved during your school years and now is a great time to start recording these to help in the future when writing a CV or Personal Statement for University. Unifrog has a locker facility aswell where you can upload items such as certificates, prize giving awards, sporting recognition and awards. All sorts of things. So start building your profile now by using these tools. For more information carry on reading below or you can check them out in the Know-How library in Unifrog itself.
