School exercises during summer holidays for my 11 year old.

BenEadir

Hi all,

My 11 year old is going into 6th class in September and wants to do 15 minutes of English and 15 minutes of Maths exercises a day to make sure he is as prepared for 6th class as possible. He's a smart young lad but a bit of a messer so his grades don't reflect his ability. He's beginning to realise that you only get one shot at education and wants to 'catchup' so to speak.

I'd really appreciate any input or suggestions on what exercises to give him which will be engaging and appropriate for his age. Ideally I'd like him to engage with the exercises and not see them as 'homework' or some kind of chore he has to do.

I've been looking online for interactive tutorials and the like or simply age appropriate exercises I can download and print off for him but haven't had much look so far.

It is good to see that he's keen

Why don't you buy the books from his booklist now and get an idea of what he will be doing or buy a different 6th class maths book and 6th class English book that he could practice on so he is not doing the same stuff twice.
