Wednesday 9th Aug 9:30-12:30 – Year 5 11+ Maths: Algebra

We have recognised that an in depth understanding of Algebra is needed to pass the 11+ maths exam for both CSSE and FSCE – it is a complex topic which connects to many other mathematical themes, such as: finding a missing number using inverse techniques, recognising patterns, nth term sequences, BIDMAS and knowing how to break down a complex word problem and use a formula to work it out. This workshop will focus on the first stages of these crucial topics and is recommended for anyone taking the 11+ this September!

Monday 14th Aug 9:30-12:30 – Year 5 11+ Writing

Here at Kip, we have developed a writing technique that helps to make writing more manageable. We find lots of our children find it difficult to know where to start with their writing as they want to include all the literary elements they have learned. Our writing technique makes writing more ‘formulaic’ so that the students can follow simple steps to ensure that their writing ‘ticks the boxes’ needed to get the highest marks that they can in their 11+exam.

My children attended the Writing Workshop for years 4 and 5 in October and they absolutely loved it. The first thing my daughter said to me was that it was really fun and the time flew by. Both children have asked to go again next time you run them.
