The 700+ links are sorted by subject => key stage => topic.
Where possible they try to follow the relevant strategy, framework or scheme of work.

Science resources from BP Educational Service

The YSI: Project Kit is part of the Young Science Investigators (YSI) suite of resources.

New Fun Games

Two new fun games have been added to the site.

For starters we have added two Romans in Britain quizzes but are hoping that you can help expand this by sending in your own question and answers.

Ball Juggling, a number functions, three level game . It's time for some ball juggling practice, answer the maths questions before the balls hit the ground.

Continuing Site upgrades

You may have noticed that all the resources now open in a 'modal window' from the main key stage & subject listing pages.

All the resources that previously opened in a new tab or browser window have now been redirected away from the old page e.g. (assets/resources/flash.php&file=resource_name) to the correct place on the relevant main listings page. You should then be able to just click the image to open the resource in the new 'modal window'.

If you discover any problems please let us know via the contact form.

Site upgrades

All the resources now open in a 'modal window' from the listing page, instead of a new browser tab or window. This should help improve the experience of using the site and simplify adding resources.

We have split the KS2 Numeracy resources in to 5 sub pages as the original page was very long and slow to load. There is a new sub menu to help navigate around the resources.

Additionally we are rolling out a redirect away from the old page e.g. (assets/resources/flash.php&file=resource_name) to the new 'modal window' version. Early Years is the first to be changed as from today. The others will follow over the next couple of weeks or so.

Adobe Flash Player

Most of our resources need the Adobe Flash Player browser plug-in, which has had several updates this year.
Some of these versions seem to cause the flash activity not to load correctly.
If you go to Adobe and download the latest version (10.1.53.64) it should solve the problem.
Thanks to Hillary who pointed out the issue.

Updated Links pages

All the links on the Links pages have been checked and where needed updated.
Also a new I.C.T. Links page with links to useful interactive ICT resources has been added.
