💬 📖 English

Speech Marks and Direct Speech

Learn how to punctuate direct speech correctly in your writing.

✓ Speech marks (also called inverted commas or quotation marks) are placed around the exact words a character says.

✓ A new speaker always starts on a new line in written dialogue.

🌿 🔬 Science

Plants and Photosynthesis

Discover how plants make their own food using sunlight and water.

✓ Plants make their own food using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide — a process called photosynthesis.

✓ Chlorophyll is the green pigment in leaves that absorbs sunlight.

🪨 🏛️ History

Life in the Stone Age

Travel back in time to discover how Stone Age people lived and survived.

✓ The Stone Age began around 2.5 million years ago and ended around 2500 BCE in Britain.

✓ Early Stone Age people were hunter-gatherers who moved from place to place in search of food.

🍕 🔢 Maths

Understanding Fractions

Learn what fractions mean and how to compare and find equivalents.

✓ A fraction represents part of a whole — the bottom number (denominator) shows how many equal parts, and the top number (numerator) shows how many parts we have.

✓ Equivalent fractions look different but have the same value (e.g. 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8).

Colour Mixing and the Colour Wheel

Explore primary, secondary and complementary colours with the colour wheel.

✓ The three primary colours are red, yellow and blue — they cannot be made by mixing other colours.

✓ Mixing two primary colours creates a secondary colour: red + yellow = orange, blue + yellow = green, red + blue = purple.

🔦 🔬 Science

Light and Shadows

Find out how shadows form and why they change size and shape.

✓ Light travels in straight lines and cannot bend around objects.

✓ A shadow is formed when an opaque object blocks light from passing through.

🧭 🌍 Geography

Maps and Compass Points

Learn how to read maps and use compass directions to navigate.

✓ The four main compass points are North, South, East and West.

✓ The eight compass points add the in-between directions: NE, SE, SW and NW.

🏛️ 🏛️ History

Romans in Britain

Discover how the Romans changed Britain during their 400-year rule.

✓ The Romans invaded Britain in 43 CE under Emperor Claudius and stayed for nearly 400 years.

✓ The Romans built over 16,000 km of roads across Britain to move soldiers and supplies quickly.

📐 🔢 Maths

Perimeter and Area

Understand the difference between perimeter and area and how to calculate them.

✓ Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a 2D shape.

✓ Area measures the space inside a shape and is given in square units (e.g. cm²).

🪨 🔬 Science

Rocks and Soils

Explore the three types of rock and discover what soil is made from.

✓ There are three main types of rock: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

✓ Igneous rocks form when magma cools and hardens; sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediment pressed together over time.

Healthy Eating

Find out why eating a balanced, varied diet is so important for your health.

✓ Our bodies need a balanced diet including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fibre and water.

✓ Fruit and vegetables should make up the largest portion of our diet — we should aim for at least 5 portions a day.

What is an Algorithm?

Learn what algorithms are and why they are the heart of computer programs.

✓ An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem or complete a task.

✓ Algorithms must be precise — each step must be clear and unambiguous.
