This site has been designed to be easy to use by the children themselves. The site will work best for the child if an adult initially makes them familiar with the help icon and its function.
Help for the children - Help icon The help icon looks like this. He is called Tommy and will give the children text and audio prompts when clicked.
Help for you - 'T button' If your child gets stuck half way through an activity and needs you to help them, you can click on the 'T' button. This button gives an overview of the activity or tells you what options you have. This is in text only.
'Go faster buttons' - (flash version of the site only)
