Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This is a very comprehensive, excellent software program for children in year two, aged six to seven years, which supports the National Curriculum and covers reading, maths, geography, history, the solar system, art and music.
The activities are not classroom based, as in the case of many other CD-ROMs in this range, but they are built around adventures that begin when school ends. CJ the Frog and his friend Newton begin a journey to their secret clubhouse. Your child can develop maths skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication, money value, measuring and logic) while racing sharks and crossing dangerous rivers. Reading and comprehension skills are also covered, including spelling, parts of speech, nouns, verbs and adjectives, and the countries can be discovered while learning about the people and events in history. All activities are presented in a fun way and are offered at different levels with progress reports, assessments and a printable workbook included. There is also a pamphlet containing basic technical and installation information, which should be read before starting. --Susan Naylor

I am twelve years old now, and have had this programme since I was eight and (even now) I still enjoy it. I love the many things for you to do and the way you can build up points on every activity you do. Every 100 points you get (each activity, depending how hard it is, wil give you from 2-15 points) you get a stamp from the Post Office in the game and build up your collection. I love the way it has been designed in a school. There is a clubhouse (which you get to by climbing the tree or using the secret lift), a classroom, and then many floors below. The graphics are all really good, and fun. In the classroom for instance, you get to write stories and see animated songs about grammar, and when you click on different items in the classroom, they animate. The songs about the grammar don't sound that interesting do they? Think again. They are funny and catchy and... I'm quite embarrassed to admit this (but it's the truth)...that listening and watching these songs completly made me learn what a noun, a verb and an adjective are!!!!! You go around freely, with our friends CJ (a large friendly frog) and Newton (a funny firefly). The activities go from Maths, to English, to matching pairs, to listening to songs...to jumping logs and crocs, shooting at aliens from Mars and even playing football!!!! You won't even notice you are learning some key lessons in life, as well as having great fun, and I really recommend this CD ROM to any child from the age of 6 to 10, as you can adjust the levels of the games so it's never to easy! So my advice is...go out there and buy it!!!

My daughter absolutely loves the games in JA Year 2. She has learnt so much in the space of one weekend! She can be on it all day if I do not stop her. She loves the noun, adjective and verb songs which are crazy but then it serves her memory well simply for that reason. She also loves the maths football pitch game, the "variable" stories she can write and many more! Her only complaint is this - she and ALL her friends could not figure out the Ice Cave maths game. The instructions were very unclear to me, too! Can anyone out there who has bought this CD-Rom help!!!

The graphics in the CD are really good, my 5yr old really likes it but we have found that the instructions to the games are not the best (neither my 5yr old or 9yr old could work them out and I really struggled) so she got really fed up with alot of the activities and has focused on one or two that she can do easily on her own. It covers a wide range of subjects, the songs and art activities are lovely, but it's not the best we have used, the DK CD Roms are much better in our opinion especially the Cluefinders Cluefinders Year 3 Adventures (Ages 7-8), much clearer and easy for children to use on their own from the start, it also keeps an easier to understand record of their acheivement and progress through the levels, unfortunately Cluefinders does not go below Yr3 but there are other titles by DK for younger audiences (which we are about to try out e.g Play and Learn: Writing & Calculating!)

Impossible to use
This is hugely off-putting and doesn't seem very educational. Worst of all, it is impossible to move from one game to another, or to close the programme down - you have to shut... Read more

Best educational software we've found
Our kids (aged six) really enjoy this. I'm delighted that they will sit and do mathematics (etc) for hours, by choice, for fun. It seems almost like cheating. Read more

Good activities spoilt by poor navigation and lack of instructions
I bought this for my 6 year old daughter and I have to say she loves it. The game consists of challenges sent to you by way of virtual postcards from other children. Read more

I think that this product is not really suited for boys as my son did not really like it and was not very keen to play it.
