Computer Kids director April Jones on the Postman Pat website Postman Pat

Postman Pat

The objective of the Postman Pat website is to provide the child with a fun, enjoyable and educational web site, which utilises technology to make the internet experience as safe as possible. On accessing the site the familiar Postman Pat tune plays and children are drawn into the atmosphere of Greendale by the arrival of Postman Pat and his van and the Greendale Rocket. Each of the five games covers areas of the Foundation Stage curriculum and is a brilliant way to introduce some early mouse skills to three- to four-year-olds.

Start with the 'Windy Day at the Post Office'. To complete this game children move the mouse over letters flying about in the wind clicking on them to collect them. A tally of letters is recorded on-screen.
