Spelling, Maths, Grammar, Reading, Science, and Games — a little practice every day!
Press "👁️ Show word" to peek and hear it, then cover it up and write it from memory — that's how real spellers practise!
Complete each word with the correct ending: -cial or -tial. Tip: after a vowel it's usually -cial (official); after a consonant it's usually -tial (essential) — but always check if you're not sure!
Add the suffix shown to build a new word from the base word.
Choose the word that correctly completes each sentence.
A hyphen can completely change a sentence's meaning. Classic examples: a man-eating shark (a shark that eats people) vs a man eating shark (a man who is eating shark meat); re-cover a chair (put a new cover on it) vs recover from an illness (get better); twenty-odd people (about twenty) vs twenty odd socks (twenty mismatched socks).
Press "🔊 Listen" to hear the sentence read aloud (you can click it again as many times as you like), then write what you hear, including the punctuation. No adult needed!
Read, write, compare, order, and round very large numbers. Example: in 4,32,891 the underlined 3 is worth 30,000.
Work out calculations in this order: Brackets, Orders/Indices (powers), Division & Multiplication, Addition & Subtraction.
A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself.
Remember to find a common denominator before adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators.
Work out the value of the unknown letter in each equation.
Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height. Area of a parallelogram = base × height. Volume of a cuboid = length × width × height.
In the passive voice, the subject receives the action instead of doing it: "The cake was eaten by Tom" instead of "Tom ate the cake."
The subjunctive is a formal verb form used for wishes, suggestions, and things that aren't (yet) true, e.g. "If I were you..." and "It is vital that she attend..."
Use a semicolon to join two closely related main clauses; use a colon to introduce a list or explanation; use a pair of dashes — like this — to add extra information.
A synonym means almost the same as a word; an antonym means the opposite.
Good writers link their ideas across sentences and paragraphs using adverbials of time, place or number ("Later," "Nearby," "Firstly,") and by using pronouns to avoid repeating names.
Zara had always been curious, but nothing prepared her for the ancient manuscript hidden in the museum's archive. The parchment was brittle, its edges crumbling like dry autumn leaves, and the ink had faded to a pale, ghostly brown. She examined it meticulously, careful not to damage the fragile page, and slowly began to decipher the looping, unfamiliar script. It seemed to describe a voyage across a treacherous sea, one fraught with storms and hidden reefs. Zara felt a surge of exhilaration — she was certain this discovery would astonish the museum's curators.
Ravi had built his kite from bamboo canes and an old bedsheet, painstakingly stitching each seam by candlelight for a fortnight. His younger sister, Priya, thought it looked more like a patchwork quilt than a kite, but she kept her opinion to herself — mostly. On the morning of the village kite festival, a stiff breeze rolled in from the hills, and Ravi's hands trembled as he unwound the string.
The other competitors' kites were sleek and brightly coloured, darting confidently into the sky, while Ravi's patchwork creation wobbled and dipped, threatening to nosedive into the crowd. Just as he was about to give up hope, a sudden gust caught beneath the fabric and lifted it high above the others, spinning gracefully against the clouds.
The crowd gasped, then cheered. Ravi's ungainly kite, stitched with such care, soared higher than any other that day. Priya grinned and squeezed his arm. "I take it back," she whispered. "It's the best kite I've ever seen."
Water is constantly on the move, travelling endlessly between the oceans, the atmosphere and the land in a process called the water cycle. It begins with evaporation, when heat from the sun turns water in rivers, lakes and seas into invisible water vapour, which rises into the sky. As this vapour climbs higher, it cools and condenses into tiny droplets, clustering together to form clouds. Eventually, these droplets grow too heavy to stay airborne, and they fall back to Earth as precipitation — rain, snow, sleet or hail. Some of this water soaks into the ground and becomes groundwater, while the rest flows across the surface as run-off, collecting in streams and rivers that carry it back to the sea. The entire cycle then begins again, and has done so for billions of years, without ever needing a single drop of extra water.
Great job working through the workbook! Remember: 15–20 minutes a day, mixing one spelling task with one maths task, works better than doing everything at once. Keep going — every section you finish is one step closer to your certificate!
Living things can be sorted into broad groups — such as plants, animals and micro-organisms — based on features we can observe.
The circulatory system moves blood — carrying oxygen and nutrients — all around the body.
Living things have changed gradually over millions of years, and offspring inherit features from their parents — with some variation.
Light always travels in straight lines — that's what makes shadows and reflections behave the way they do.
In a circuit, the number and voltage of cells — and the components you add — change how bright a bulb shines or how loud a buzzer sounds.
Fill in the empty boxes so that every row, every column, and every bold-bordered box contains each number exactly once. Start with the 4×4 warm-up, then try the bigger 6×6!
Read each clue, then type one letter per box. Numbers show where each word starts.
A bigger one — three words, two crossing points.
Click the first letter of a word, then click its last letter (words can go across, down, or diagonally). Find all 6 words!
A bigger 10×10 grid — find all 6 words!
See how much of each section has been completed.
