Free Childrens Reading CD/DVD's???

slickless2k

Hi guys,

i'm doing a third year project at university and i'm tryin to help a local company who helps children to read to start using ICT however because it is a charitable organisation, money is extremely tight. I know you can get these disks out of cereal boxes and newspapers (not sure which ones because have never paid attention) but i thought there might be something on the web too.

Web addresses that might help children (spelling games, e.t.c.) are also welcome.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Many festivals and holidays in Britain are centuries old. Every town, village and hamlet in Britain has its own traditions, some involving months of careful planning and preparations of costumes and choreography, others requiring simply a worrying desire to make a complete and utter fool of oneself.

The 2006 - 2008 calendar below contains the most important and well known festivals and popular events in Britain. If you are looking for the date of a particular holiday or festival in the UK, then you will find it here.
