Welcome to the Learning Grove. Every skill your child practises now grows a tree in their own garden. Plant the seed, watch it sprout as they learn, and once a skill is mastered it bears apples to collect, feed to Pip or sell for coins. Walk Pip around, build paths and fences, add benches, swings, fountains and lanterns, and watch Pip sit, swing and explore everything you place. THREE TROUBLEMAKERS Now and then a swarm invades the garden: the Bee Boss, the Ladybird Leader or the Rat Ruler. Nothing grows until it's gone. Clear it with 10 questions on topics your child has already learned, with every right answer chasing part of the swarm away. Each boss gets a little tougher every time he comes back. Beat them to win trophies and bronze, silver and gold badges for the Collection. MORE PIP TEACHES Fifteen new lessons: place value, multiples, negative numbers, number lines, factors and primes, squares and roots and divisibility for 11+, plus eight more for SATs maths. Pip now explains one short step at a time, and "See another" runs any example again with new numbers. PRACTICE THAT SHOWS ITS WORKING Practice questions now use the same pictures as the lessons: sliding digits, number lines, clocks, fraction bars and equal groups, so a child can see why an answer is right. MORE FREE SATS MATHS The first four skills in every SATs maths topic are now free. MORE WORD GAMES Word Quest has grown into a full map of activities, and Word Orchard adds new levels to keep going. BUILT FOR IPAD Practice, reading, lessons, the Grove and the boss fights now use the whole screen on iPad, especially in landscape.

KS2 SATs practice is here. Reading comprehension with full-length passages and cover art, plus maths topics covering place value, rounding, factors, squares and cubes, sequences and order of operations. New reader screen: to scroll at your own pace, bump the text size, see how far you've got. Thirty new passages in fiction, non-fiction and poetry. THE SPAG MAP An interactive tube map of spelling, punctuation and grammar: 43 stations across seven lines. Ride it with Pip, tap a station for the rule, an example and a quick check. Plus a times tables grid, punctuation and formulae look-ups. Free for every SATs child. A NEW BOSS The Eraser joins The Shuffler. Every right answer lands a hit, combos hit harder, a wrong one costs a heart. QUESTIONS THAT TEACH Thousands more practice questions, and they now tell you WHY an answer is right rather than just which one it was. PIP TEACHES, IMPROVED! Maths lessons you do rather than watch: take 415 apart with real base ten blocks, make the jumps yourself on a number line, and learn to take away 38 by taking 40 and giving 2 back. FAIRER MARKS Two mark questions now pay for partial credit, so getting half of it right earns something. FIXES - Streak flames now land on the days you actually practised - "Do today's practice" takes you to your path, not the home screen
