Springtime Shout–Outs From Show Me Surfers

March 09 2007

Spring is in the air and we're VERY excited because we're about to do one of our favourite things - checking out what Show Me's readers have got to say.

Stevie enjoyed playing Mouth Power, a fun interactive from the National Museum of Dentistry in America.:

"hi i went on the mouth game today.I thought that it was FANTASTIC!! I printed off my certificate for finishing it ALL.



Tara, aged 10, says:

"hi i am doing tuders at school i am the best at it and i am geting beter by resthing on the internet"

Iqra (known to friends as Iqi) wonders:

"where are the games of henry VIII"

If, like Tara and Iqi, you want to know more about the Tudors, have a look at Show Me's Tudors topic page, where there are lots of games and things to make.


Shakira's's been Entertaining Elizabeth:

"i really enjoy this website, its great. i love all the games, especially where you have to decorate the castle for queen elizebeth.i think this is a really good learning website. bye then"

"How did you find the mary rose", asks Samantha

At Show Me, we can remember watching the TV over twenty years ago and seeing the Mary Rose being raised from the sea bed (back in 1982).

Find out all about the Mary Rose by checking out Explore The Mary Rose and Dive In And Discover The Mary Rose, both from The Mary Rose Trust.


One enthusiastic history fan says:

"I LOVE ROMANS"

If you do to, you'll love Show Me's Romans section, where you can find out all about Roman life, including what they wore, what they ate and what bathtime was like!

Another history lover asks:

"can you tell me good intresting stuff about the victorians"

We can indeed - visit Show Me's Victorians section for stacks of interesting stuff and fab games.

Our Marbling Paper Patterns - How To Do It is a hit even with the grown-ups!


"Hi grown up here. arrivedn looking for technical information about marbleing on paper and found myself in a site I would have loved as a kid... Thanks Anna"

Emily has some suggestions for the new improved Show Me:

"The backgroud colour is off-putting you need to change it! The menu down the side needs another colour and jazzing up.

Why not fill out our fab online survey and let us know what YOU really like about Show Me, and what we should change?


Here's another lovely email from a Show Me surfer:

"this website is really good
I'm sure to come on this website again!
Can you be a member?"

Good news! Coming soon - the Show Me Club, which you're all invited to join... we'll let you know when it's ready to launch.


Jasmine (Jazz for short) writes in all the way from Saudi Arabia:

"I would like to tell you about my school Dhahran British Grammar school I have a lovely teacher Mrs.Evans and nice Classmates Called Tomea,Sabrina,Jenna,Sophie, Temi, Sarah,Anne And lois"
