Ten units, each with five activities,  covering all the EYFS early learning goals include video clips, photographs, audio files, slideshows, songs and rhymes, and interactive activities. A "New Page" facility allows teachers and practitioners to create their own pages using the video clips, audio files and additional resources provided. Clear on screen notes support each activity.

The CD-ROM can be used with an interactive whiteboard for adult-directed focus activities. Alternatively, children can access the activities via the whiteboard, or a PC.

The accompanying teacher's book suggests follow-up activities to support the children's learning, and a grid detailing the unit links to the early learning goals is helpful when planning your PSRN curriculum. It is encouraging to see the importance and weight given to the ELG "use developing mathematical ideas and methods to solve practical problems."

A fun resource to motivate your children and support their learning in PSRN. Units are titled:
