Welcome to Primary Sites, A database of websites for the primary school. The aim of the site is to provide useful and relevant links for teachers and a safe searching environment for children. |
|
|
Questions and answers about PrimarySites and PrimaryKids: |
|
|
Answer to Qu.1. - Is the whole site free including the newsletter? Yes the whole site is free for everyone to use. The database of websites for primary teachers and children was put together to help myself and a few others keep a list of the best sites for use in school. It was then decided to make it available to all. Eventually adverts may be placed on the site to help cover costs but not for the foreseeable future. |
|
|
Answer to Qu.2. - Are all the sites listed suitable for children? All the sites have been checked to ensure they are suitable for the primary environment but if a site changes after it has been checked, this will be difficult to control. All primary children should have an adult supervising their online activities. If you find a site listed that you consider is unsuitable then please e-mail us and the site will be removed. |
|
|
Answer to Qu.3. - Who is the site aimed at? Teachers and children in the primary school, particularly KS2. |

Answer to Qu.5. - What is Primary Kids? The 'Primary Kids' section of the site offers children their own search facilities of the Primary Sites database. It is a child friendly version of the main search page and will only return sites that are aimed at children or the teacher/children audience, therefore not showing sites aimed at teachers. Children can only search by 'search word' rather than by subject, with the aim to keep it as simple as possible. If you are a school hoping to use this page then click on 'Add to Favourites', which will as the title suggests add this page to your favourites list, making it easier to find or you can create a link from your school homepage directly. The address is http://www.primarysites.co.uk/primarykids/kids.htm |

Answer to Qu.6. - How does the search facility work? When the user enters a word and clicks on 'Search', the database is opened up and the sites are search by name and their description. If any words are found matching the search word then the site is printed with all its details for the user to see. It does not matter if capital letters are used or not, the search just compares the letters. |

Answer to Qu.7. - Are cookies used on the site and what are they? Cookies are small files stored in a special folder on your computer. They are used by internet web sites to store any personalisation settings you might make, and to be able to keep these settings as you move through the site. At present they are used on this site but do not collect any data about the user. Is there a security risk? Cookies can only be read by the site that puts the information there in the first place - no one else can access them. Confidential details, such as your name and address are never stored in cookies, nor are credit card details. There is no way that a cookie can maliciously cause damage, or allow access to your computer - they are little more than electronic bookmarks |
