    Another she may like is free rice. You choose to answer multiple choice questions on a particular topic, and for every correct answer they donate 10 grains of rice to a world food programme to help end hunger.

    Thanks everyone, we have had fun looking at all these and I have bookmarked them all. She tried out duolingo, which she seems to like and she wants to do some of each tomorrow.

    The school does use mymaths so I shall get her to check that - I had forgotten that one so thanks for the reminder.

    I am putting a limit on how much she does for now as I don't want her getting stressed and fed up before even going back to school, but I have to say how impressed I was when she suggested it. Totally her own idea. I suspect she is a bit bored as although both she and DD2 were away for week at the beginning of the holiday, DD2 has been away for another 2 weeks with cadets so DD3 has lost her playmate. DD2 is back Friday and she needs to be learning to read music. I've found a lot of sites that I can print out worksheets for that though.

    My next project is learning latin as DD2 is going to be starting it for her GCSE when she goes back and I haven't learnt any of it so I am worried about giving her a helping hand!

  • When she's back at school, she should have access to some sites that her school might subscribe to?

    I'd also recommend duolingo. Free languages ones I can think of at this late hour are http://www.atantot-extra.co.uk/, http://www.languagesonline.org.uk/ and http://www.zut.org.uk/index.html (this one after 4PM). Most of the exercises in the first site involve games and I've seen even reluctant learners perk up when they can 'fling' their teacher - shouldn't be stressful at all in that case.

    Good luck with the Latin :)

    Glad to hear she is enthusiastic about it. Duolingo will send her a little email reminder every day normally. If she's still struggling with French at any point, drop me a line if you want - I've lived in France for 5 years and so speak the language quite well, you could say :D
