Here are the Knowledge Organisers for Year 6! 🤩 These comprehensive sheets are your child's roadmap 🗺️ to all the crucial knowledge they'll be gaining in each subject this term. They highlight the key facts, vocabulary, and concepts they need to master.

How to Utilise Knowledge Organisers at Home 🏡

Knowledge Organisers are an incredibly effective tool for Year 6 children, helping them to deeply embed what they learn and prepare for secondary school. Here are some powerful strategies you can employ together:

• Become the Expert! Challenge your child to teach you a topic from the organiser in detail. Encourage them to explain not just what happened, but why or how. Asking questions like "What are the main arguments here?" or "How does this connect to what we already know?" will push their understanding.

• Active Recall Techniques! Instead of just reading, encourage active recall. This could involve closing the organiser and trying to write down everything they remember about a topic, or using the "look, cover, write, check" method for key facts and spellings.

• Create Revision Resources! Guide your child in transforming the organiser's information into their own revision notes, flashcards, or even a mini-presentation. This active processing of information is far more effective than passive reading.

• Spaced Repetition Practice! Encourage revisiting sections of the organiser regularly, but with increasing gaps between sessions. For example, review it today, then in three days, then a week, then two weeks. This helps knowledge stick in long-term memory. 🗓️

• Concept Connection Challenges! Pick two seemingly different sections or facts from the organiser and challenge your child to articulate the links or relationships between them. This fosters critical thinking and a deeper understanding of interconnectedness.

Regular engagement with these organisers will not only solidify your child's understanding and recall of key knowledge but also equip them with invaluable independent study habits and revision strategies crucial for their successful transition to secondary education!
