🤝 How You Can Help at Home 

We know life is busy, and many families juggle a lot. Small, everyday actions make a big difference.

Our main resource is SATs Companion which your child has a logon for.  Read more about it at the bottom of this page.

Reading

• Spend a few minutes reading together—anything they enjoy (stories, comics, football magazines).
• Myon
• Talk about the story: “What do you think will happen next?”
• Don’t worry about getting it perfect—your interest is what counts.
• SATs Companion

Maths

• Practise times tables for a few minutes every day using Times Tables Rock Stars  or help your child practice remembering their times table facts out loud (on the bus, while walking, in the kitchen).
• SATs Companion  
• Use real-life maths:
  — “How much change should we get?”
  — “What time will we get there?”
  — “Can you help me measure this?”

Grammar & Spelling

• Encourage reading and spelling the Year 5 and Year 6 statutory spelling list.
• Encourage writing in natural ways: shopping lists, notes to family, a diary, labels.
• SATs Companion
