This area of our Web site is designed specifically for children.
In this area you will find games, poems, stories and educational activities suitable for younger children or those with special educational needs. We have made extensive use of symbols to support the textual content of the various pages and as an aid to navigation. Please be patient and allow the pages to load fully.

Yaeh!

Switch Access
Access to this area is currently only available to touch-screen or pointing device users.
It is our intention to introduce switch accessibility as soon as we can.

Navigation
We have attempted to make this area as simple to navigate as possible. Children can move around the area by clicking or touching the symbols. We have restricted the number of navigational choices to a maximum of five, more usually two. You can return to the main site at any time by clicking the school logo on the sidebar. This is normally hidden from view at screen resolutions of 1024x768 or lower.

Javascript
Some activities in this area require a Javascript plugin to be installed onto your machine. For many users this is either installed as part of your original operating system (Win XP) or as an automatic process, triggered by visiting any of the Java pages. During beta testing, we noticed that a very small minority of machines (1 reported to date) would crash when using version 1.4 of the Java plugin with Internet Explorer 6. If this happens to you, a simple solution is to re-install the previous (more stable) version 1.3.1. You can do this by clicking the Java logo.

Java Script plug in required


Macromedia Flash
A small number of activities in this area are written with Macromedia Flash and require a plugin to be installed into your browser. As with Java, this is often installed as part of your original operating system. You can check that you have the latest version of the Flash plugin by checking the Flash logo on the right of the screen. If you can see the logo, the Flash plugin is already installed on your computer and no further action is required. If you cannot see the flash logo, we recommend that you download and install the latest version by clicking HERE. This download typically takes one minute on a 56k modem.


Interactive Whiteboard Technology
Almost all of the activities in this area will work with an Interactive White Board. In school we use boards manufactured by Smart Technology as they can be operated by children using their fingers in place of the stylus.
