Year 4 – Reasoning Workshop, 7 & 8 April

Year 4 – Reasoning Workshop
Monday 7th & Tuesday 8th April

10am – 2:30pm Daily


This short course is designed to help consolidate reasoning skills. It will focus on the most difficult aspects of reasoning which many students struggle to get past.

  • On Day I, we will address the dreaded cube nets – looking at questions involving cubes and rotation, as well as CAT number analogies.
  • On Day II, we will look at shuffled sentences – one of the most challenging VR question types. We will work on parts of speech, and finding superfluous words, as well as CAT verbal analogies. 

CAT number and verbal analogies – two question types which will make a major difference to in-school assessment.

As well as working hard, we will play hard! We will compete in the ‘reasoning Olympics’ –using fun, breakout activities to help keep students engaged, and to earn points which they can use to buy prizes.

All students will be given written grades and feedback following the group, which will be led by Dr Tom Parkinson.

The course will be led by Winterwood’s co-founder, Dr Tom Parkinson. Tom oversees the entrance exam cohort at Winterwood, and has fifteen years’ experience of the entrance exam system. Tom will provide detailed advice, guidance and focus topics following the course, and will also be on hand to discuss any aspect of the process, or school admissions, with parents on the final day of the course.
