Our site also has four more learning sections where we give you info about every country in the world (The World), let you read a complete history of England (Times Past), take you on a virtual journey through the counties of England (English Counties) and invite you to do and share with others a set of projects (Your Turn – you can see the hours of thinking that went into this titling process).

This bottom set of banners, which only appear on the front page, are more explanatory for adults. Once again we have titled them brilliantly as there is a page which children might like to read telling you about us and also the background to the whole idea (called About Us and The Background), some info about the site as of now and our future plans (called Our Site Now and Our Future Plans - no surprises so far), our sponsors (Support) and the various ways you an get in touch with us (Get In Touch).
