Review: This is a super onscreen book produced by Gareth Pitchford for Primaryresource.co.uk. The story retells the famous story of Heraclesand would be ideal for lower Key Stage 2. The fantastic thing about this website is its flexibility. The story can be read onscreen with the child friendly animations you can also choose to look at story without the text, to order the pictures or to write the story your self. This activity is designed to be used onscreen or on an IWB. This is part of a series of online activities from primary resources.co.uk and there are some great links here.

The Roald Dahl Glossary

 
Mainly suitable for:
Well suited for use in UK schools KS2
Review: A simple but useful site which could be used to complete a biography of Roald Dahl with KS2 children. The site provides a comprehensive list of his books and the autobiographies he wrote. I particularly like the report on his life and the clear timeline. There are six different quizes each about a different Roald Dahl book and images designed by the author with overviews of some of his stories.
