Scaling helps us use maps to work out real distances.

A map scale shows how much smaller the map is compared to real life.

If 1 cm on a map = 5 km in real life, and two towns are 4 cm apart on the map, how far apart are they in real life?

Can you work it out? The answer is below.

Answers

1. A conjunction is a word that connects two main clauses in a sentence together.
✅ Answer: but
2. 7 × 8 = 56
Then:
56 × 6 = 336
✅ Answer: 336
3. A synonym is a word that is a similar in meaning to another.
✅ Answer: old

A compound sentence is when two main clauses are joined using a conjunction.
Children often use and, but, and so, which is great, but using more advanced conjunctions makes writing more interesting and helps prepare for SATs.
Can your child complete these using: however, therefore, whereas
1. I was nervous __________ I tried my best.
2. She loves English __________ she finds maths harder.
3. He revised well __________ he felt confident.
Encouraging children to use a wider range of conjunctions helps them become more confident, independent and higher-level writers. Don’t forget the punctuation!

Every child’s learning journey is different, and understanding their starting point is the key to helping them succeed.
At First Class Learning, we begin with a diagnostic skills assessment to establish your child’s baseline. This allows us to identify clearly what they already understand and where they may need further support.
This initial assessment is not about passing or failing. It is about building a complete picture of your child’s current level, so we can create a personalised learning plan tailored specifically to their needs.
By starting in the right place, children can build strong foundations, close gaps in knowledge, and develop confidence as they progress at a pace that is right for them.
