Whyville


Whyville is an on-line community for primary age kids and is dedicated to learning through exploration and communication. The site is very friendly with plenty of safety tips and allows children to communicate with other members. It is loaded with places inside where kids can participate in high quality, learner-centred learning experiences from across the curriculum. If you haven't got time to create your own login and look around check out the teacher's page which is pretty informative.
