The Story Of Androcles And The Lion In this work pack the child is asked to read the text and to answer some questions. The last question focuses on the meaning of words used in the text and the child then writes his or her own non fiction piece. The child also works through punctuation exercises - putting in capital letters, full stops and question marks.

Practise Comprehension Papers (At The Stroke Of Midnight) Between the ages of 9 and 12, children following the UK curriculum have to complete Standardised.Assessment.Tests (Sats). To help them practise for these tests, we have produced a new series of comprehension booklets. The Standards and Testing Agency states that the child has 1 hour to complete the test, answering the questions in the answer booklet. Read one text and answer the questions about that text, before moving onto the next text. There are three texts and three sets of questions in each booklet. The tests in this booklet are based on the KS2 Reading Assessment sample papers. It is important to try and complete them in an hour, but it is your choice. The more tests you practise the quicker you will get. 43 pages Watch the video below, for a sneak peek at this fantastic series... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FcO_h_xvwb8 Find out more about Guinea Pig Education, in the video below... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BRsqpWV4nTo

Is your child off school? Teachers and parents...Be prepared for SCHOOLING AT HOME. Guinea Pig Education are supporting schools where closures are taking place, by supporting parents to access educational resources from home. As teachers with many years experience, we have assembled some home learning packs that children will enjoy working through at home, independently or with an adult. There are work packs available for every age and year group. Age ranges are based on the ability of the average child in a year group. If your child is working at a higher or lower ability, in comparison to their age, you may need to go up or down a scheme. Simply, print each activity out on paper, using your home printer and your child can immediately start working. Our packs are very good value - they are heavily discounted and jam packed with work. At Guinea Pig Education, we want all children to have access to education, at this difficult time. www.guineapigeducationshop.com
