The best way to support learning is by having fun or creating memorable experiences. 

We know our short- term memory capacity is limited to 3-5 things; therefore, in order to know and remember more knowledge, we must practise new learning at least 6 times for it be transferred to our long-term memory. 
 

Below are some core subject games your may enjoy playing to practise some of the skills you have been learning in class. 

Parents, if you would like more ideas for specific areas of learning or other subjects, please speak to the Year 5/6 team.
