Fancy adding your favourite sites here as a resource for HE'ers?

[sorkycake]

Just thought it might be a nice idea. Maybe something like a site link and a short explanation of ages or topics of study etc.

Say like cbeebies
great for preschoolers and foundation stage. Games, puzzles things to make & do and printables. Covers most subjects.

lets you make your own cross word puzzles , word searches etc....all ages

the utterly fab university of Utah genetics site....all secondary biology

the wonderful neurosciences for kids site, secondary biology

logic and lateral thinking puzzles

@school
All subjects for Foundation, KS1 & KS2.

this is also great for all ages from nursery to sixthform, some is free

Incompetech has free PDF file downloads of all different types of paper - handy if you need some graph paper, etc.

BBC Schools good for ages 4 to 16 if you want National Curriculum stuff.

Longman Homework Helpers has free downloadable PDF worksheets suitable from reception up to year 6 - mostly literacy based, but there's a link to Science ones at the bottom.

NASA Kids Club great website for those kids wanting to learn about space.

National Geographic Kids One of my DD's favourites for learning about the planet.

Spellmaster Foreign language vocabulary games (free, variety of languages)

A few things on these sites

Try supersonic science.
www.supersonicscience.com - great for science. Hands-on, fun science games that cover the KS2 curriculum. There are 2 downloadable games that can be printed off to play.

Something that always gets forgotten when home schooling is PSHE. this is a great website that covers this topic www.sensecds.com

At this stage (ds is 3), we're into:

Google Images - for finding pictures of anything and everything (we use it to find pictures of Lego models, and then build our own versions based on them)

YouTube - to watch short videos of anything ds is interested in: Komodo dragon, an orchestra, a snake eating an egg, the Red Arrows, etc

cbeebies - for games
