New maths maintenance website

The kids have been trying out 'skoolbo' today and are really excited by the competitive nature of this website. All of the games are leveled to their ability and change the level of difficulty according to success. This is a great website for maintenance and practice - both for maths and literacy.

The kids all have usernames and know the password. If they forget their username then I have an extra copy!
