Don't worry it's not another SATS rant, I'm actually talking positively today about Education Quizzes, but not in the formal sense.
Peanut and The Golden Child get a lot of homework, a fair bit of which doesn't make sense to me! I know it's been a long time since I was in school but teaching happens very differently now so I'm often at a loss as to how to help them, especially Peanut with her key stage 2 work.
I recently read about online education quizzes and had a bit of a light bulb moment.

I recently read about online education quizzes and had a bit of a light bulb moment.
The site has many sections each containing teacher written quizzes, we especially loved the KS2 education quizzes which really helped Peanut and I understand how to work through some of her trickier work by going through questions online together and getting answers straight away so we knew that we were on the right track
Education quizzes is a subscription scheme costing £9.99 per month with no obligation or minimum subscription length
Although the subscription cost of £9.99 may be prohibitive for some parents I like the fact that you can dip in and out when you need so if you want only one month you simply cancel your subscription and pick up later if you need to or you can have as long as you like on a rolling subscription , better still schools can sign up and subscribe for pupils from only £2 per pupil per YEAR! I think this would be a great way to support parents and children out side of school.
Now you all know I'm against formal testing so while I see the benefit of this subscription in preparing for SATS that's not the biggest appeal for me. I'm more excited that I have a wealth of teacher created worksheets at my finger tips, so when we pack up for our family adventure and take time out of school I can test MYSELF to make sure I'm not doing a disservice to the kids' education while home educating. Alongside that there are Spanish quizzes which means I have a jump start on our family goal of learning Spanish on our adventure!
What do you think about this scheme? would it be something you could see benefit in?
