Useful Websites
This link takes you to a helpful guide from BBC Bitesize outlining what to expect in Year 6. It shows the key topics your child will cover in maths, English and wellbeing, and gives you practical ways to support them at home. Here you will find useful and practical supports to help guide your child in their homework across the curriculum.
Times Tables Rock Stars
Swiss Gardens subscribes to TTRS so your children can have daily access at home and at school to this fantastic times tables resource. There are a wide range of different game types for the children to explore whilst developing their times tables knowledge and fluency. In the background, the site learns the areas your child might be finding more challenging and exposes them to more questions in these tables to help them improve. We would recommend around 5-10 minutes practice per day. If your child has forgotten their login, we can provide a copy.
IXL
IXL has a wide range of resources available by year group and by subject. Covering both maths and English, the subjects are broken down into skills with a selection of questions for the children to try from across the KS2 curriculum.
BBC Bitesize
BBC Education have produced a whole host of materials for KS2. Follow the KS2 link and then select either Maths or English. Including games and teaching materials, the site is a fantastic resource. If your child wants to revise their learning from previous year groups, the site also covers curriculum areas for Year 3-5 as well

Grammar
Grammar Glossary for Parents – Key Stage 2 Please find below a glossary of the terminology that children are expected to know and use in key stage 2. Some of this you will be familiar with but some of it does get rather technical, so please do not worry about coming to ask for further clarification if required.
You can also find games, videos and activities to help revisit key terms on the BBC bitesize website
