New School Term


The second-year Access schoolkids have been invited to join a new project:
"The USA Regions: Living in Diversity".

New School Term for Beginners


The new school term has started!

The beginners explored the Internet Safety Rules.
Unfortunately, only viruses and spam seem to be serious for schoolkids.
I hope that our Little Red Riding Hoods will now be careful because we will be working at one wiki on the Internet safety.
