Welcome to Jump Ahead Pre School

Advantages: lots of activites
Disadvantages: your child will not want to come off the computer!

...A few months ago my son was taking a very big interest in the computer, he was using the cbeebies website a lot with help but what I noticed was he was either bored with the games or he found some of them too hard so either his dad or I were landing up playing the games for him! I decided to start looking around for some computer games and spotted Jump Ahead in Pc World. Jump Ahead pre-school is fantastic as it has so much to do for the little ones. My son has been using this Pc game for around 5 months and in that time he has learnt his numbers which his nursery teacher is very impressed with. ** System Requirements** Windows 95/ 98 / Me/ 2000 and XP , this game will not run on Vista! Once you have installed the game just click the little icon and away you go. You will see a school house, a seesaw, sandpit...

* Rock School *

Advantages: Plot is Different
Disadvantages: Couldn't Watch it a few times!

...I have decided to review 'The School of Rock' film having recently watched it. The School of Rock is an American film released in the United Kingdom on February 6th 2004. The film comes under the comedy and musical genres. This film was directed by Richard Linklater and stars Jack Black. This movie is a PG. Running time of this movie is one hundred and eight minutes (twelve minutes short of two hours), Wannabe rock star , Dewey , is 'sacked' from his band and because he has many bills to pay and is down in the dumps , he feels he needs to get out there and find a job. So , he becomes a substitute teacher at a private school. What will happen when Dewey takes his 'rock and roll' attitude to the private school ? Watch School Of Rock To Find Out! On first impression , this film didn't look my cup of tea at all. My friend had the DVD...

Schools Out

Advantages: different game modes
Disadvantages: can bore of it quite quickly

...I'm a big fan of the tycoon series of games - mall tycoon, zoo tycoon, casino tycoon etc so I thought that school tycoon would be another game to add to that list. I bought it for £5 at PC world and, at that price, you pretty much can't go wrong! There are a couple of different modes to this game. There is the story mode, where you have to build a school from scratch on a limited budget and operate at a profit but also meet the standards of education that you need to achieve eg sports/discipline/attendance etc. You can do this by employing the right (strict) teachers. This is where the challenge lies as obviously there is a trade-off between employing the best teachers and paying lower wages. You also get to design the layout of your school and choose what to build and where. There are facilities such as cafeterias, staff rooms...

School memories

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...It is my 200th review on here and I wanted to do something a little bit different. As I haven't written a Ciao Café review for some time I thought that it would be a nice change. This topic caught my eye seeing as I am now almost qualified as a teacher and wanted to reflect back on my own school experience! So, the following are a selection of my ten best school memories. The last one isn't so much a best memory rather than an embarrassingly funny one. The frog skeleton My year one teacher was a lovely lady named Mrs Keavney. She was very into wildlife and therefore many of our lessons would end up outside in the schools wildlife area or investigating nature in some way. She was keen on us to bring things in to show the rest of the class, so I was delighted when one day we discovered a perfect frog skeleton in my greenhouse...

Dermalogica Pre Cleanse

Advantages: Will give you superbly clean skin
Disadvantages: Will add a little time on to your cleansing routine

...be a very important part of looking after the skin. Afterall, if your skin is grimy and congested ,then other products that you apply, such as serums or moisturisers will not be able to be absorbed and will have little effect. Dermalogica PreCleanse is suitable for all skin types. It is a lightweight olive and apricot kernel based oil which is fortified with kukui nut, borage seed and rice bran oils. It thoroughly disolves oil based make-up, sebum, sunscreens and environmental pollutants from the skin's surface enabling the skin to be thoroughly cleansed. It should be applied to dry skin and massaged over the area. The product should then be emulsified by using a little water. It is removed with tepid water. The skin should then be cleansed for a second time using a cleanser specified for your skin type. If you are using Dermalogica...

SCHOOL ........... DAZE .

Advantages: ten school memories .
Disadvantages: there are only seven !

...Lord , I'm not sure if I have 10 . Well , not " best " in the usual sense of the word where everyone is doing something good , studious and productive , and at the end of it they are presented with a nice certificate and some house points If that's what your expecting of MY school days , then maybe you'd better stop reading now ? So these are the best from my point of view . The ones I remember most vividly , the ones I enjoyed the most regardless of anyone else's enjoyment or lack of it , and the ones that just stand out from every other routine day for whatever reason .. They wont necessarily be in chronological order , I'll just write them down as they occur to me . I leave it to you to keep up ?. So .. shirts tucked in , ties straight , stand to attention and lead off from the right...

Pre-N Mature?

Advantages: Bandwidth, Range, Ease of Configuration, Features
Disadvantages: Needs other Pre-N kit to get the best from it

...because it's of any real use although I suppose it might be useful if you have kids ad don't want them to have Internet access between homework hours on a school night. The Pre-N router sees the first support Belkin have provided for dynamic DNS entries and this is a "very good thing". Dynamic DNS is a great invention that allows you to access your home PCs across the Internet, even when your internet gateway has been assigned a dynamic IP address that could change every so often. The Belkin currently only supports DynDNS.org but as that's the one I use I'm more than happy. It means that, combined with the Belkin firewall feature, I can host a website from my home PC without having to remember cumbersome IP addresses that are prone to change. Parental control is provided, but it's a subscription service, the first 6 months of which you...

Excellent Touch Pre Glued Nails

Advantages: A brilliant way of having good looking nails for a special occasion
Disadvantages: None

...Ive always steered well clear of false nails,the messy glue,the soaking needed to remove them,some of them look so false too! I don't bite my nails but I do have a job to keep them looking good,and when we have been invited anywhere special im always conscious that my hands don't look up to scratch. I love to see well manicured nails.Not the very long pointed and polished effect,but the more up to date look,the shorter french style manicure. Well Elegant Touch have recently brought a new false nail set to the market. The box has a set of 24 pre glued nails,a buffer pad and the instruction leaflet. These nails are subtle,just short ultra natural nails,with the very fashionable slim white tip. This set of Classic Natural Bare Shorts cost about £5.79,and are available from many places on the Internet,and also at Leading chemist...

Pre School Toy Savings

Advantages: Basic, Easy to Use Website
Disadvantages: Needs to have a keyword search function

...I first came across this website, whilst searching for a toy for my daughter through a search engine. I had been looking everywhere for a Peppa Pig toy that my daughter was after and didnt want to pay ebay prices. This website displays some of the most popular pre-school toys available and displays where they can be purchased underneath their image. At present they provide stock information for Dora the Explorer, Fifi & the Flowertots, Thomas and Friends, In the Night Garden, Peppa Pig, Disney toys and Lazytown. Ease of Use - I find this website extremely easy to use, information is displayed clearly in a basic format and is bright and colourful on the eye. There are navigation buttons at the top of the page which clearly advise the type of toy and then by clicking these you are quickly directed to the relevant page. I simply search...
