 Billy Bear 4
Kids
Worksheets and Writing Paper from Billy Bear 4 Kids. There are some
sweet early worksheets here - a very useful blank page (with lines
drawn for little children), practice patterns, a page for each
letter individually and one for the whole alphabet. There is also
one for numbers. Further down the page there are lots of themed
blank writing pages which you could use for practice throughout the
year as appropriate.
BoohBah
Young children and their parents may already know the BoohBahs. This
site has lots of fun activities for little computer-users and not a
word of explanation - they have to work out what to do. "It's
magic!" says the Vaultman.
Camelsdale First School Teach with ICT
Lots of downloadable resources for using ICT with early years children. Veronica Carter ,
the school's EY Co-ordinator (some of whose work is already in our Resources Vault) has
collected materials prepared by herself and her colleagues. Most of the materials are MS
Powerpoint files and cover Numeracy, Literacy, Technology and Science. Many of the
resources here could be adapted to use with older children.

Mathematics Network

ICTeachers built!)
