Once Upon a Picture

Once Upon a Picture is great looking website, similar to Pobble 365 I wrote about a while ago.
Its got pictures to be used either to inspire writing, promote use of interesting vocabulary, to teach skills such as inference, deduction and prediction, or to use for cross-curriculare lessons. Watch the trailer below:

Wondermind - exploring how our brains work

This game on the Tate Gallery website looks really interesting. It's probably best for p5 - p7, and has games and videos which explore and explain how our brains work, based on the theme of Alice in Wonderland. It introduces neuroscience to children in a fascinating and fun way. This would be great to look at together on the Smartboard, then let children play the games in the ICT suite and discuss how they got on.
