What stores and transfers energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred from one store into another. In these pictures, which items do you think use energy? Which ones store energy? Do they all store/use the same type of energy? Cut them out and sort them into groups.
Understanding friction: Build your own balloon hovercraft
When a moving surface slides on a stationary surface it rubs against it, which slows it down. This is due to friction, a force which resists the movement of one object sliding past another. Understand more about friction with a fantastic practical project: make your own balloon hovercraft!
Super scientist quiz
Quiz questions to encourage your child to think about how scientists work and why they do the things they do.
Reaching conclusions
A worksheet showing results of an experiment with questions underneath to consider.
Pronouns explained
This free Year 6 English worksheet was created by a primary-school teacher and explains in easy-to-understand language what pronouns are, providing helpful examples and a fun activity at the end!
Probability word problems
Can you answer these tricky probability word problems? Pencil at the ready...
Perimeter and area compared
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the outside of a 2D shape. Area is the amount of space a surface takes up. We measure area in square units. Can you answer these questions (it may help you to draw these shapes on centimetre-squared paper)?
Parts of a circle
Here is a picture of a circle. Its centre is marked with a red dot. Can you measure the circle’s radius, diameter and circumference?
Multiplying using long multiplication
A quick way to multiply a three-digit number by a two-digit number is by using the long multiplication method. Here are some for you to try (there are some multiplications with four-digit numbers in here, but don’t worry, the method is still the same!). Use the boxes to help you set out your numbers correctly!
Multiplying fractions
When multiplying two fractions together, you quite simply multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. Work out the answers to these number sentences by multiplying both the numerators together and both the denominators together. Shade the diagram to show that you have found a fraction of a fraction.

Formulas for calculating area and volume of shapes
The quickest way to find the area of a 2D shape is to use a formula. Can you use the right formula to find the areas of these shapes? With 3D shapes we can also find the volume, which
means the quantity of space taken up by the shape. Can you use the right formula to find the volumes of these cuboids?

Explaining probability
Probability is when we make judgements on whether something is likely to happen or not. Probability can be described in words, or more accurately in terms of fractions and percentages. Where would you put these statements on the probability line?
Dictionary challenge
All these sentences have unusual or difficult words in them. Read the sentences out loud and see how fast you can look up the coloured words in a dictionary. For each sentence, re-write it, replacing the coloured words with your own alternatives to show that you have understood the meaning of the sentence. On your marks, get set...
Dashes revision
Dashes can be used to show a change in thought during a sentence. They can also be used to drop some extra information into a sentence or they can also be used to create emphasis. Look through these sentences and put dashes in where you think they should go.
Commas revision
A useful commas worksheet for KS2 children, created by an experienced educator.

Brackets revision
Brackets are used to separate off an extra piece of information in a sentence. Without the information in the brackets, the sentence would still make sense. Look at these sentences. Where do you think the brackets should go?
Adverbs revision
An adverb modifies a verb (explains how it is being done). Adverbs usually end in -ly. Look at these sentences. What adverbs could you add to them?
Adding and subtracting negative numbers
