We were glad we made time for Canadian French Daily Printing Practice during a shorter school week. It helped with noticing progress a little at a time. It was a welcome addition, though we still adjusted it to suit our week.
We were glad we made time for 11+ Maths Study and Practice Book in a small learning space. It helped with making room for more than one way to solve a problem. We would recommend looking at the publisher’s sample before deciding.
We were glad we made time for ABC Phonics at the kitchen table. It helped with balancing practice with books we enjoy. A useful resource, though we needed to adapt more than we expected.
We were glad we made time for AQA Key Stage 3 Science 1 'Extend' Practice Book between our library visits. It helped with giving our science time a clearer direction. We liked the direction it gave us while leaving room to add our own ideas.
We were glad we made time for A History of Philosophy in our morning learning block. It helped with following up with a library book. We would keep it in our regular rotation.
We were glad we made time for Collins GCSE Revision - GCSE 9-1 Geography All-in-One Complete Revision and Practice alongside a weekly co-op. It helped with comparing familiar and unfamiliar environments. It gave us a useful starting point, and we adapted the pace.
We were glad we made time for Bonus Art Activities during a quiet afternoon session. It helped with giving a creative session a starting point. We would use it again alongside the resources we already enjoy.
We were glad we made time for Collins International Music - Cambridge Music Student’s Book as part of our home learning routine. It helped with connecting listening and discussion. It worked best when we kept sessions short and consistent.
We were glad we made time for A Year of Playing Skillfully when we wanted a change of pace. It helped with focusing on one writing goal at a time. We liked having a resource to return to instead of starting from scratch.
We were glad we made time for Collins 11+ Practice - 11+ Verbal Reasoning Complete Revision, Practice & for CEM: For the 2026 CEM on the days we learned together. It helped with building a little more independence. We made room for extra discussion rather than trying to finish quickly.
