KS2 Revision Websites - any recommendations?

[mandylifeboats]

Does anyone use any good KS2 SAT revision websites that have interactive quizzes etc? Just thought it might be an interesting addition to the revision books, nothing heavy, but DS2 might be more inclined to do some without realising he is IYKWIM! Hard to gee up enthusiasm for it post 11+

i have loads...but need to get them from work on monday

in the meantime the bbc revisewise site is excellent

\link{http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk\this is the most deffo brill school website}

Why do you want to do practise at home btw?

THAT is one of the ones i was trying to remember....did i tell you that one rtkanga???

I think so we have been using it for ages

It really is deffo brill

It really is!!!

We had a thread many moons ago wher teachers recommended websites......let me do a bit of a search....

\link{http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/index.htm\ambleside primary} is another really good school website

ah - it was a thread for resources for teachers...I am sure there was a one for pupils running alongside it though....
hmm

Bizarre. I am sat here at my computer busy setting up my future(spoke to my boss yesterday, I'll be a SAHM and freelance educationalist soon ...). And I was just thinking about how I could help parents with helping their children to revise and do homework.

mandylifeboats, out of interest, would you ...
... buy info booklets that help you and your children with homework and revision
... attend an evening/Saturday workshop which would help you to get your child revising/doing homework
... send your child to a Saturday revision workshop for SATs (and 11+)
... pay for one to one coaching or tuition which would enable you to get your child doing revision and homework (and liking it!)

I have a lot of business ideas - it's putting them into practice that comes next!

Sorry didn't get back to this last night, DS2 and I found a few of the websites ourselves and were trying them out. Then I suggested playing Scrabble and that was that. This morning he wanted to play again and thrashed me!
Fisil, I have already bought and been given revision booklets etc prior to 11+, so yes would use those. Would probably not attend classes/tutoring for SATS or 11+ now having been through it twice, but can see the value for some people, believe it is already big business.
RTK, just want to keep my eye on what he is revising at school, keep it ticking over, mostly for the areas that don't come into 11+ such as science. Part of me knows it isn't so important as he will never use the SAT scores, and won't do them at his secondary school, but still want him to achieve his best (ie the 3 5's I know he is capable of!!)

I can totally understand revising for and preparing for the 11 plus as this will affect the school a child gets into but why on earth would anyone buy revision books or get their child to do SATS revision.

Encourage extra learning at home, yes, but I can't understand why so much time is wasted on SATS revision that could be spent doing other things.
