History

Stone Age to Iron Age (and the Celts)

Prehistory, up to AD 43

Five quick facts

  • The Stone Age gets its name because people made their tools from stone. It has three parts: the Palaeolithic (early), Mesolithic (middle) and Neolithic (new) Stone Age.3
  • Cheddar Man, found in a cave in Somerset in 1903, lived about 10,000 years ago. He is the oldest almost complete skeleton of a modern human found in Britain.4
  • Work on Stonehenge began about 5,000 years ago. Some of its smaller stones, the bluestones, came from Wales, more than 150 miles away.5
  • Skara Brae, on the Orkney Islands, is a stone village where farmers lived around 5,000 years ago. Even the beds and shelves are made of stone.6
  • The Bronze Age began in Britain around 2500 BC, and the Iron Age around 800 BC. Iron Age people lived in tribes, often in hill forts. The Celts lived in Britain from about 750 BC until the Romans came.7, 8, 9

Try this: draw a roundhouse and label what it was made from.

History

The Romans in Britain

AD 43 to about AD 410

Five quick facts

  • After the Romans left, new people crossed the North Sea: the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, from lands that are now Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.14
  • England is named after the Angles. The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and skilled craftspeople who made fine jewelry and metalwork.14
  • In 1939, archaeologists at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk uncovered the shape of a buried ship full of treasure. It may have been the grave of King Rædwald of East Anglia, who died around 624.15, 16
  • Alfred the Great was King of Wessex from 871 to 899. He fought the Vikings and then made peace with them.17
  • Anglo-Saxon rule ended at the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066, when Duke William of Normandy defeated King Harold.18

History

The Vikings

AD 793 to 1066

Five quick facts

  • The Vikings came from Norway, Sweden and Denmark. They sailed to new lands partly because there was not enough farmland at home.19
  • In AD 793, Vikings attacked the monastery at Lindisfarne, an island off the coast of north-east England.20
  • Not all Vikings were raiders. Many came to settle and farm, and lived in long, one-room homes called longhouses.21
  • King Alfred and the Viking leader Guthrum agreed that Vikings could live in the north and east of England. This area was called the Danelaw.19, 20
  • In 954, the Anglo-Saxons drove out Eric Bloodaxe, the last Viking king of Jorvik (York). The Viking age in England ended in 1066.20

History

The Tudors

1485 to 1603

Five quick facts

  • Five Tudor kings and queens ruled England: Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I.22
  • Henry VII became king in 1485 after he defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field.22
  • Henry VIII reigned from 1509 to 1547 and married six times. He broke away from the Pope in Rome and made himself head of the Church of England.23

  • The Victorian period is named after Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901.26, 27
  • Steam engines powered new factories and trains. By 1851, more people in Britain lived in towns and cities than in the countryside.28
  • Factory work was long, noisy and dangerous. Children crawled under machines to collect loose thread, and many were hurt.28
  • The Education Act of 1870 set up new “board schools” where they were needed. In 1880, school became compulsory for children aged 5 to 10.29

History

Ancient Egypt

About 3000 BC to 30 BC

Five quick facts

  • Around 3000 BC, people began building settlements along the River Nile, which gave them water and good land for crops. Their civilization lasted about 3,000 years.1
  • The Great Pyramid of Giza is about 4,600 years old. It was built as a tomb for a pharaoh, the name for an Egyptian ruler.1
  • Hieroglyphs were one of the earliest writing systems, with around 700 signs. The Rosetta Stone, found in 1799, helped people read them again.34
  • Jean-François Champollion did much of the work of decoding hieroglyphs in 1821 and 1822.35
  • In 1922, Howard Carter discovered the tomb of the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun. Egypt became part of the Roman Empire in 30 BC.36, 37

Try this: find five English words that begin with “tele”, “photo” or “micro”. All three come from Greek.

Geography

Geography homework help

Geography is about places and the way they change. Most Key Stage 2 homework starts with rivers, mountains, rainforests or reading a map.

Geography

Rivers

From source to sea

The parts of a riverA river starts at its source in the hills, is joined by a smaller river called a tributary, bends in loops called meanders across flat land, and ends at its mouth, where it flows into the sea through a wide estuary.Sourcewhere it startsTributarya smaller river joiningMeandera loop or bendMouthwhere it meets the seaEstuary

Five quick facts

  • A river starts at its source, usually on high ground, and flows until it reaches a lake, the sea or another river.41
  • Rivers bend in loops called meanders as they go around hills and rocks.41
  • Rivers are part of the water cycle: water evaporates, condenses into clouds, falls as rain and flows back to the sea.41, 42
  • The River Severn is the longest river in the UK. London grew up on the River Thames.43
  • People use rivers for drinking water, farming, transport and fun, and human activity can pollute them.41, 43

Try this: find the nearest river to your home on a map, and follow it to the sea.

Geography

Mountains and volcanoes

How the land is pushed up

Five quick facts

  • Mountains are higher and usually steeper than hills, generally over 600 meters high. A group of them is a mountain range.44
  • The tallest mountain in the UK is Ben Nevis in Scotland, 1,345 meters high.45
  • The longest mountain range on land is the Andes in South America, which runs for over 7,000 kilometers.44
  • A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust. Melted rock underground is called magma; once it comes out, it is called lava.46, 47
  • Many volcanoes form where the plates of the Earth’s crust meet or move apart.44, 47

Try this: draw a volcano cut in half and label the magma chamber, vent and crater.

Geography

Rainforests

Hot, wet and full of life

Five quick facts

  • A biome is a large area with its own climate, plants and animals. Tropical rainforests are hot and wet all year round.48
  • The Amazon in South America holds nearly a third of the world’s remaining tropical rainforest.49
  • The Amazon covers about 1% of the planet’s surface, but is home to about 10% of all known wildlife species.49
  • More than 70% of the world’s jaguars live in the Amazon.49
  • Around 47 million people live in the Amazon, including about 2.2 million Indigenous people, and people have lived there for around 14,000 years.49

Try this: list five foods in your kitchen that first came from rainforest plants, then check with an adult.

Geography

Continents, oceans and maps

Finding your way around the world

Five quick facts

  • There are seven continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and South America.50
  • Five oceans cover around three-quarters of the planet: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern and Arctic. They are all connected.51
  • Europe is the second smallest continent and has over 40 countries.50
  • The Prime Meridian, the line of 0° longitude, passes through London.50
  • Russia is the world’s largest country by area, and it spreads across both Europe and Asia.50

Try this: name a country on every continent except Antarctica.

Science

Science homework help

Key Stage 2 science asks children to explain how things work. The best homework answers use a science word and say why.

Science

Earth, Sun and Moon

Days, years and the phases of the Moon

The phases of the MoonEight phases from left to right as seen from the UK: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter and waning crescent. The lit part grows from the right, then shrinks to the left.NewmoonWaxingcrescentFirstquarterWaxinggibbousFullmoonWaninggibbousLastquarterWaningcrescent

Five quick facts

  • There are eight planets in our Solar System. Until 2006, Pluto was counted as a ninth.52
  • The Earth spins once about every 24 hours, which gives us day and night.53
  • The Earth travels once around the Sun in about 365 days: one year.54
  • The Moon makes no light of its own. Moonlight is sunlight bouncing off it.55
  • The Moon goes around the Earth in about 27.3 days, but it takes about 29.5 days to go from one new moon to the next.55

Try this: draw the Moon every clear night for two weeks and see the phases change.

Science

The human body

Skeleton, heart, digestion and teeth

Five quick facts

  • An adult has 206 bones. Babies have around 300, but some join together as they grow.56, 57
  • Your heart is a muscle about the size of your fist. It pumps blood, which carries oxygen and nutrients around your body.58
  • For most people, the heart beats 60 to 100 times a minute. You can feel it when you take your pulse.59
  • Stretched out, an adult’s small intestine would be about 5 to 7 meters long.60
  • Adults have 32 teeth.61

Try this: count your pulse for one minute, then again after jumping for one minute.

Science

Plants

What plants need and how they make seeds

Five quick facts

  • Plants are living things. To grow and stay alive they need water, light, the right temperature, nutrients, air, and room and time to grow.62
  • Water soaks into the soil, enters through the roots and travels up the stem to the leaves.62
  • Leaves make food for the plant. Without enough water, a plant wilts and can’t make enough food.62
  • Flowers make seeds. First they need pollen from another flower, usually carried by insects such as bees. This is pollination.63, 64
  • Fruit protects the seeds and helps spread them to new places.64

Try this: put a stick of celery in colored water overnight and watch where the color goes.

Science

Electricity

Circuits, conductors and staying safe

Five quick facts

  • Every circuit needs a power source. A single battery is properly called a cell; two or more cells together make a battery.65
  • Electricity only flows when the circuit is a complete loop. A switch opens or closes the gap.65
  • Conductors, such as metals, let electricity flow through them easily. Insulators, such as plastic and rubber, do not.66
  • Scientists draw circuits with symbols so anyone can read them.65
  • Dry your hands before touching anything electrical, and never stick anything into a plug socket.67

Try this: make a list of ten things at home and sort them into conductors and insulators.

Math (maths)

Math homework help

Little and often works best for math facts. Ten minutes a day on one times table beats an hour once a week. For more practice, NRICH (University of Cambridge), Oak National Academy and BBC Bitesize KS2 Maths are all free.

Math

Times tables

Up to 12 × 12

Five quick facts

  • In England, every Year 4 pupil in a state-funded school takes the multiplication tables check, held over two weeks in June.68
  • The check has 25 timed questions and tests whether children can recall their times tables up to 12 fluently.68
  • Order doesn’t matter: 3 × 8 is the same as 8 × 3. Learning one fact gives you two.
  • The 5 times table always ends in 0 or 5, and the 10 times table always ends in 0.
  • Doubling helps: the 4 times table is double the 2s, and the 8 times table is double the 4s.

The government says future assessment arrangements, including this check, are under review following a 2025 curriculum report.68 The last three facts are arithmetic you can check with the square below.

Practice, no timer

Pick a table. You get ten questions in a mixed order. There’s no clock, so take your time.

This practice needs JavaScript. Use the square above instead.

Math

Fractions

Parts of a whole

Five quick facts

  • A fraction shows equal parts of a whole. The bottom number, the denominator, is how many equal parts the whole is split into.69
  • The top number, the numerator, is how many of those parts you have.69
  • A unit fraction has a numerator of 1, like ½ or ¼.69
  • Equivalent fractions look different but are worth the same, like ½ and 2⁄4. Multiply or divide the top and bottom by the same number to find them.70
  • The bigger the denominator, the smaller each piece: ¼ of a pizza is a smaller slice than ½.

Try this: fold a piece of paper to show ½, then ¼, then ⅛.

Math

Shapes and angles

Turns, triangles and polygons

Five quick facts

  • Angles are measured in degrees. A full turn is 360° and a half turn is 180°.71
  • A right angle is exactly 90°, like the corner of a book. Acute angles are smaller than 90°; obtuse angles are between 90° and 180°.71
  • The angles inside any triangle add up to 180°. Inside a four-sided shape they add up to 360°.72, 73
  • An equilateral triangle has three equal sides, an isosceles triangle has two, and a scalene triangle has none.73
  • A right-angled triangle is any triangle with a right angle in it.73

Try this: go on a right-angle hunt at home. How many can you find in one room?

English

English homework help: reading, spelling and grammar

Most English homework is reading, spellings or a grammar sheet. Reading every day, even for ten minutes, is the habit that helps most.

English

Grammar and spelling words teachers use

Key Stage 2 terms

Five quick facts

  • A fronted adverbial is a word or phrase at the start of a sentence that says when, where or how something happened, like “Earlier today,”.74
  • Fronted adverbials are usually followed by a comma.74
  • Homophones sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things, like “hear” and “here” or “see” and “sea.”75
  • Nouns name things, verbs are doing or being words, adjectives describe nouns and adverbs describe verbs.
  • For spellings, “look, say, cover, write, check” works: look at the word, say it, cover it, write it from memory, then check.

Try this: write three sentences about your weekend, each starting with a different fronted adverbial.

Religious education

For children

Finding good information for a homework project

Searching the whole internet brings up adverts, games and pages written for grown-ups. Start with sites made for learning, then check what you find.

1

Start with a trusted site

Try BBC Bitesize, a museum, NASA Space Place or the links on this page before a general search.

2

Check who wrote it

Look for a museum, university, charity or government name at the bottom of the page.

3

Find it twice

If a fact matters, such as a date or a number, find it on a second site before you use it.

4

Write it your way

Read, close the page, then write. Copying whole sentences isn’t learning, and teachers can tell.

5

Say where it came from

Write the site’s name at the end, like “Source: BBC Bitesize.”

Free sites made for learning

Your public library card may also give free online access to encyclopedias for children. Ask at your library.

For parents

A calmer homework routine, one task at a time

For many children, the hardest part of homework is starting. That’s especially true for children with ADHD, who can find it hard to listen, follow instructions or stay on one task. The NHS suggests a few simple changes at home: split homework into 15- to 20-minute slots with a break between each, give clear instructions one at a time, keep a to-do list where it’s easy to see, and praise effort.82 The routine below builds on those suggestions. It works for most children, diagnosis or not.

Set up2 min One task15 min Break5 min Next task15 min Pack away3 min
One example of a 40-minute evening. Shorten the work blocks for younger children or harder days.
  1. Same time, same place. A regular slot (for example, after a snack) means fewer arguments about when. Clear the table of everything except the one task.
  2. Write the list together. Break tonight’s homework into small, concrete steps (“read pages 4 to 6”, not “English”) and put the list where your child can see it.82
  3. One task at a time. Only the first step is on the table. When it’s done, it gets crossed off, and the next one comes out.
  4. Use a timer for 15 to 20 minutes. A visible timer makes the end feel close. When it rings, stop for a short break, even mid-task.82
  5. Make breaks real breaks. Move, stretch, get a drink. Screens tend to swallow the next block, so leave them for afterward.
  6. One instruction at a time, calmly. “Start with question one” works better than a list of reminders.82
  7. Praise the effort, not just the answers. Notice getting started, staying with it and finishing a block. A simple reward chart can help.82
  8. Talk to school if it’s too much. If homework regularly ends in tears, tell the class teacher or the school’s SENCO (special educational needs coordinator). They can talk through support with homework.82

If you think your child might have ADHD

Speak to your child’s teacher or SENCO, or to a GP or health visitor. In the US, talk to your child’s doctor; the CDC notes that training for parents in behavior management is part of recommended treatment, and that schools can be part of it too.82, 83 This page is general information, not medical advice.

Inchy is a focus app built around the same idea: one task at a time. You don’t need it to use anything on this page. The Homework Routine Card below does the same job on paper.
