I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the KS2 Science Year 5 Knowledge Retriever

The KS2 Science Year 5 Knowledge Retriever from CGP gives your 9–10-year-old a smart, active way to remember what they've learnt in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Instead of passively re-reading notes, your child fills in carefully chosen gaps—each with a first-letter prompt—so they retrieve facts from memory and make them stick. Every spread mirrors CGP's matching Year 5 Knowledge Organiser, turning reference pages into retrieval practice that builds long-term confidence and readiness for end-of-year assessments and SATs.

Instructions page showing how to use the Year 5 Science Knowledge Retriever
Clear instructions explain how to complete the fill-in exercises, use the included quizzes and check answers at the back of the book

Each topic page presents key science vocabulary and concepts with strategic blanks, so your child actively recalls words such as 'evaporation', 'life cycle' or 'force' rather than simply reading them. First-letter hints guide without giving the answer away, and mini-quizzes after every few pages confirm understanding before moving on. A larger Mixed Quiz at the end tests the whole book's content, while full answers in the back let your child—or you—mark work independently and spot any gaps that need a quick revisit.

Sample page on separating and changing materials with fill-in-the-blank exercises
Fill-in exercises cover real curriculum topics such as dissolving, mixtures and evaporation, with first-letter prompts and diagrams to support recall

Regular retrieval practice turns fragile recognition into secure knowledge, so your Year 5 pupil walks into tests feeling prepared rather than anxious. Because the book aligns with the English National Curriculum and is designed to pair with CGP's Year 5 Knowledge Organiser, it slots neatly into homework routines or holiday revision without adding pressure. The result is a child who remembers more, forgets less and approaches science questions with genuine confidence.

This physical revision guide suits any Year 5 child who has covered the core science topics at school and wants a structured, low-stress way to lock in that learning. It works equally well for regular weekly check-ins, half-term recaps or focused SATs preparation, and the self-marking format means your child builds independence alongside subject knowledge.

  • Fill-in-the-blank format with first-letter prompts encourages active retrieval, not passive reading
  • Mini-quizzes after each section and a Mixed Quiz at the end test retention across Biology, Chemistry and Physics
  • Full answers included at the back for independent self-marking and quick identification of gaps
  • Mirrors CGP's Year 5 Knowledge Organiser so you can pair both books for maximum impact
  • Covers the English National Curriculum for Year 5 Science, supporting classroom learning and SATs readiness

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for my child?

The KS2 Science Year 5 Knowledge Retriever is absolutely perfect for children in Year 5 studying the national curriculum in England.

It is also very useful for children in the devolved nations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland that study similar curriculums.

Finally, the KS2 Science Year 5 Knowledge Retriever is also very useful for children studying outside of the UK on comparable international curriculums such as the Cambridge Primary Curriculum or The Pearson Edexcel International Primary Curriculum.
