good websites for Y1 literacy / numeracy?

[imaginaryfriend]

Dd seems to really like doing a few sums / spellings online but has got a bit bored with the few websites I've found so far and I wondered if anyone could recommend any others?

ds teacher reccomended 2Education city" website

[imaginaryfriend]

Is that one you have to pay for?

[wrinklytum]

I think you do but you do get a free trial period

[imaginaryfriend]

Ok, will check that one out, thanks!

[Feenie]

have a look at coxhoe primary school in Durham
they have a great list of links
www.coxhoe.durham.sch.uk/

[samanthar]

www.edplace.co.uk/

this though am going to ask if this is any good...

[imaginaryfriend]

Thanks! I'll check them out later x

It might be worth exploring the BBC Schoolswebsite

Also Education City is fab - worth the money imho. You can get a free trial period for 10 days which they keep extending if you don't subscribe for a while if you wanted to try it first. Then ask on the home ed forum if anyone has a 'tell a friend' code you can use to get a further 3m free.

to practice look say cover write check, this is a good one

another LSCWC one is
www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/lookcover/lookcover.html
this one lets you enter your own words, so she can practice her spelling words

www.crickweb.co.uk is another good site

www.mathszone.co.uk is great for maths activities

www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/interactive/

"practice her spelling words", tsk tsk!

Hope you don't teach spelling, Melissa

[ChippyMinton]

DS2 has been usingRoy the Zebrafor guided reading.

[melissa75]

well Thomasandhisfriends, if you really have nothing better to do....good grief.

[melissa75]

chippy...roy the zebra is another excellent site!

[Thomasandhisfriends]

Than roll about laughing at the irony of 'practice her spelling words'?!!
You need to get a sense of humour, Melissa!

[imaginaryfriend]

Great site suggestions, thanks everyone, they're very much appreciated.

[imaginaryfriend]

I don't care how anybody spells anything! I'm just appreciating the wonderful sites I've been linked to. Thanks everyone!

[Bullerbychildren]

You're a sad case, Thomas...

[Thomasandhisfriends]

Why, because I tried to laugh WITH a poster, and she reacted with venom? [Hmm]

[melissa75]

Thanks imaginaryfriend...hope you get good use out of the site...Bullerbychildren...I entirely agree!
And Thomas...laughing WITH someone means the other person was laughing, there was no laughing going on on my part...I have reported your post to Mumsnet, because I think it is entirely disgusting, swearing is entirely unneccessary, and definately not acceptable....and I am not "your dear"...how patroniZing.

[Thomasandhisfriends]

Report away, I'm sure they will read your post to me first - you started on the personal attacks. Get over yourself, ffs.

[Thomasandhisfriends]

Bullerbychildren, I am genuinely baffled by your post. Did you actually read the post before mine before you stuck your size 9s in?

[ramonaquimby]

why do people feel the need to pick other posters up on their grammar/spelling/etc etc? I agree with buller and melissa.

step away from the keyboard!
