Advice for Torbay
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 11:58 am
Hi this is my first post although I've been lurking for a while and have been very impressed with the amount of information on this Forum - I can see it's going to be a bit of a lifeline over the next few years! My DS is currently in Year 4 and doing very well so we're definitly hoping that he will take the 11+. At the moment he's very keen to take it which is bonus I'll be tutoring him myself so just wondered if anyone has any advice on preparing for the Torbay 11+, e.g. what papers are best and any tips others have found useful. I know I've got a bit of time, but as it's all new to me I want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible for when he starts Yr 5. Also as he is so keen and curious about it all I was thinking about starting some informal tuition quite soon (no papers, but just trying to extend his numeracy and literacy skills, increase his vocab and maybe try some VR type activites.) Any tips would be gratefully received! Thank you!
p.s. In spite of my name I'm not really at all stormy - I'm just useless at thinking up internet names and it happened to be one of those days where the wind and rain didn't stop all day when I was choosing.
