Y5 11+ Week Commencing 10th November 2025 (week 3 of 6)

10 Nov

Happy Monday!
We hope you had a lovely weekend.

A Friendly Homework Reminder: Each week, we set a small amount of work which is really important for your child. This homework is designed to either pre-teach new concepts or help consolidate what we’ve been learning in class.

We also provide recommendations for suggested independent study. We believe in quality over quantity—so just 20 minutes a day, five days a week, on top of an hour with us, adds up to over 150 hours of additional learning per year—that’s the equivalent of around six extra school weeks! Find link to our welcome booklet here.

Vocabulary is key
Every week, we set a small amount of vocabulary work, including:

5 words in context
A “Word of the Week”
Vocabulary from our lessons

Vocabulary is more than just exam prep (it can make up 10–15% of a test); it’s also essential for everyday communication. We’ll be running vocabulary-focused quizzes on a cycle, so little and often really makes a difference. We’ve found that sophisticated vocabulary can be the most challenging for children, so embedding it at home is vital.

Finally, please remember to bring the IDEAS CATCHER to each lesson so we can add to it together.

Thank you for your support in helping your child get the most from their learning!

Week 4: Monday 17th November – Saturday 22nd November

Week 5: Monday 24th November – Saturday 29th November

Week 6: Monday 1st December – Saturday 6th December

Our Mathematical Reasoning Focus Lessons offer a deep dive into the world of maths, going far beyond what your child will encounter in standard classroom lessons. Each session hones in on specific aspects of the 11+ curriculum, covering topics such as ratio, proportion, algebra, BODMAS, volume, averages, and other challenging mathematical problems that children rarely see in school.

These lessons are carefully structured so that each week builds on the last, using papers designed to stretch thinking, develop problem-solving skills, and boost confidence. Unlike our regular weekly maths sessions, these classes are tailored to challenge and engage, ensuring your child not only understands the concepts but also applies them with assurance and flair.

Give your child the chance to think differently, solve creatively, and thrive in maths. Book a session today and watch their confidence soar!
