Early years learning materials - on demand, UK

In the UK, NTL’s digital TV cable service has “NTL: Knowledge” as part of its interactive services. This includes a section from the BBC called BBC Learning with various question and answer activities and revision notes covering different aspects of the English, Maths and Science as required by the National Curriculum. The same type of information is also available of the BBC’s web site. But on a TV it could be used as an individual activity or more likely as a group activity with parents or a group of students revising together.
