These topics are rarely taught in school which means it is important to dedicate time to understanding how to answer the different questions.

This will be excellent preparation for those about to sit an 11+ mock exam!
Year 5 11+ Writing Workshop (ONLINE ONLY) – From the 1st of June – the 4th of June @ 09:00 – 09:40
Here at Kip, we have developed a writing technique that helps to make writing more manageable. We find that 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+ and other future exams. This workshop will be spread over 4 days on Zoom, giving the students a chance to absorb new techniques each day and gain more confidence with daily practice.
