Following requests from teachers we have developed a Number Fun resource for interactive whiteboards. Songs from the first 2 Song Resource Packs become interactive on your Promethean or Smart Board. You can sing about Cheeky Monkeys and see them fall from the tree. You can choose the numeracy for “My Name is Russ”, adding and subtracting sheep from Bernie the bus. You can place the Sticky Toffees in one of the pockets and use the Number Bond to work out how many are hidden in the other before revealing the answer. With three different ways of controlling the characters you have full control over how you present each song.
Interactive Song Presentations
Ten Number Fun Songs come to life with great looking graphics and lots of interactivity. Move Farmer Pete's sheep around his farm, switch sticky toffee's from pocket to pocket and beep the Doubling Machines nose.
- Cheeky Monkey's Counting Song
- Clap Snap
- Doubling Machine
- Farmer Pete
- Farmer Pete's Chicken Song
- My Name is Russ!
- Number Bond (006/004)
- Number Fun Rocket
- Safe in the Barn
- Sticky Toffees
Each Interactive Presentation has three levels of control.
CD, pre-programmed to present the song as it plays on the CD. It's like having a music video for Number Fun Songs.
Semi-Automatic provides control buttons that make it easy to present the song the way you want to.
Interactive gives you the ability to move sheep, toffees, coins etc. by clicking or dragging them around the display.
Farmer Pete and Friends includes the song and backing tracks for all 10 interactive presentations, so you won't have to use a CD player to play the music.
Bonus Feature
Farmer Pete and Friends will also assist you in the presentation of all of the 45 songs from Resource Packs 1 and 2. The Software includes a simple interactive presentation of the words of each song which are
- Clear, colourful and easy to read on your classroom whiteboard.
- Advanced through each of the verses by a tap of the board.
- When applicable, you can adapt the song words by picking up your pen and writing your own values in the songs.

Online Taster
“Farmer Pete and Friends“ has been designed to make use of the classroom whiteboard however the program runs just as well on a desktop PC or laptop, so here is your chance to try out one of the song presentations. The song we have chosen as our taster is “My Name is Russ”. It is an addition and subtraction song, with sheep boarding and alighting Russ‘ bus.
The presentation includes both the song and backing tracks, these increase the file size to ≈ 5MB so
it could take several minutes, even over a broadband connection, to download the presentation.
Instructions
The Farmer Pete and Friends presentations are very easy to use, however you may find a review of the instructions in the help file useful.
