The Magic School

A virtual school for early years’ pupils. Play, model, create, construct, imagine!

The Magic School, our remarkable new series places your pupils at the heart of the action using digital images making it a truly child-centred learning experience. Combining open-ended activities and interactive adventures the Magic School is rooted in Early Years’ good practice.

There will be an ongoing series of new rooms for the Magic School with exciting new themes such as the Music Room and the Sand and Water room...

Click the tabs below for more information...
In the Starter Room you can:
  • Superimpose your own face onto the characters so you can take part. Make cartoon friends to play with
  • Play the driving activity – design a road map so that you and your friends can drive a car around it – don't crash!
  • Decorate the room using the easel – when you finish your pattern or picture you can frame it on the wall
  • Choose books from the bookshelf – listen and read along to a favourite rhyme – then make your own version
  • Construct buildings and vehicles using the building block activity – what colours and shapes are you going to use?
  • Look after the class plant – how many flowers can you grow?
