I think this resourse will also be useful for teachers of primary schools

I use this a lot especially the Murder Mysteries in the maths section.

This website is great. I use it especially for maths activities.

This looks like a great idea for the end of the year, by collecting photos, games, activities and other classroom resources we can create a wonderful ending video.

would like to try this.

The site is closed for ever.

In Africa, there is a huge gap in the use of ICT in Primary Education, that is why am excited to be here to learn and also share my ideas.
