Websites for children

A few parents have asked about which websites we use at school to help the children with their learning. I have put together a list of websites that we use and ones that have been recommended by other people. The content of some of these sites does change quite frequently so it is difficult to always be sure of the quality but have a go and see which ones your children enjoy. We understand that not everyone has access to the internet but it is also available at local libraries.

General sites

www.bbc.co.uk/schools

www.bbc.co.uk/education/dynamo
