Lynn's going to get really cross with all of us - she has all these gerat features around the site and none of really notice till she scolds us! If you look at the top navigation bar there's one near the right that says 'links'. If you into that bit it's all categorised, and the homeschooling one is near the top. Trouble is I tried to correct my last one midway through and it didn't go in, and I haven't tried again since. Sticking out tongue Very naughty of me really. But very often i come upon sites on the way to other things, as I was doing this afternoon, but had no time to do much more than give a quick heads up on it.

There was also some kind of related maths site, and I got to both of them through www.activityvillage.co.uk - I was looking for UK school related stuff for next week. And fun stuff too. Lots of printables over there, and some unusual things that aren't easily found elsewhere. Shame my computer's not currently hooked up to a printer!! Evil

Anyone used Oregon Scientific kiddie computers?? DD got given one a few years back as a gift - Princess Cleo I think it is or something. Hers had quite a few activities on it which are very educational and it's a good way for either of the kids to go through things on their own. More so even than a regular computer becaues this kind talks as well. It has plenty of maths, including double figure multiplication, division, time telling, keyboard skills (it's a QWERTY keyboard, with mouse and attachable to a printer even). Actually I believe there's even some kind of word processing programme and even email in there. I just discovered this last week that it isn't just national anthems and silly games. So if you have any well-off relatives who have no kids of their own and have no idea what to get for yours... it's worth suggesting. Don't know how it compares to LeapPad because we haven't had it.

Kerri.
