Hi D

Open Office as useful as MS office.  Certainly I can see no point in any 
primary school buying MS.  

You might be interested in Tuxpaint from newbreed software, a simple paint 
package great fun supposed to be aimed at primary but even my year 11s 
(15-16yrs) love it.

Audacity from audacity.org.  Allows you to record sounds and manipulate them.  
You can save as wav, mp3 ogg.

I have had loads of success with these in primary schools.  I am an AST in ICT 
with one of my responsibilities to cluster primaries and HOD of ICT.

Maybe a bit off list but in my mind anything that promotes open source 
software gets my vote.  Personally won't have anything but on my own 
computer.

regards
Simon
