This section of the website deals with all things internet. We have listed some of our favourite links that will help you in your coursework, homework or Passport to Learning. Check out the Links menu on the menubar. This section is constantly being added to, but don't forget in school to look at Seachstar. It's got over 8,000 links to great sites. We've also listed some of our favourite sites that you may not have seen. Hopefully these will be updated on weekly basis so keep checking back for more new sites. If you have a site you'd like featuring, please let us know and we'll add it. Another section features our favourite games. They won't all be modern up to date. Quite a few will be retro games that we know you'll love to play.

"if a child can read, they can think,
if a child can think they are free"
Siobhan Dowd (1960-2007)
Carnegie Medal 2009

It would be much easier to tell this story if it were all about a chaste and perfect love between Two Children Against the World at an Extreme Time in History. But let's face it, that would be crap. Daisy is sent from New York to England to spend a summer with cousins she has never met. They are Isaac, Edmond, Osbert and Piper. And two dogs and a goat. She's never met anyone quite like them before - and, as a dreamy English summer progresses, Daisy finds herself caught in a timeless bubble. It seems like the perfect summer. But their lives are about to explode. Falling in love is just the start of it. War breaks out - a war none of them understands, or really cares about, until it lands on their doorstep. The family is separated. The perfect summer is blown apart. Daisy's life is changed forever - and the world is too.
