I share the same view. Do let your child revise the P5 topics. I understand that some of the school will want their students to do some of the past years PSLE papers in school so as to assess the student's level of understanding prior to Preliminary and even PSLE. Hence , best to check with the school before letting your child to attempt PSLE past year papers. One more point to note, for 2020 Maths and Science PSLE papers, certain topics are excluded due to COVID situation.

It can be demoralising for a just-completed-P5 kid to be asked to do P6 Maths and Science. Surely there will be topics and more advanced types of questions they have yet to cover. If you must do this, check carefully that the child has actually covered the topics. Personally, I have never liked to teach in advance, or to ask my kids to try things that they have not yet covered. If your child has not done as well as expected in P5, it would be more useful to do more P5 questions and deal with all the gaps and misunderstandings there, so that the foundation for P6 will be strong.
For the languages, the above doesn't apply, so doing some practice with P6 questions is probably OK.
But don't do too much - 2 hrs a day is quite a lot. If your child starts P6 already feeling burned out and that he hasn't had a break, he will be even less able to study well in his P6 year.
