The Squeebles

In this episode Eddie & Captain Dave meet Ian from KeyStageFun who offer 12 Squeeble apps to help children with their Maths and Literacy learning. The squeebles encourage children to learn regularly in a fun and effective way. Teachers and parents can then interact with the child's learning via the apps. The more work the child does the more characters the squeebles rescue from the Maths Monster. Interested?
