The Declaration of Independence

Here is the Homework for March 12, 2007.
I will be in the Vyew room on Tuesday from 4-5 and Thursday from 7-8.Here is a message from Mike Temple in England about our website:

I had a good look round your classroom and met all the students, just reading the blog tells me that they are a great bunch.

I really enjoyed reading the shout box comments…

I have added your class blog to my links so other people can have a good look at what you’re doing

Do keep in touch and carry on setting a high standard for all of us to try and follow

You are all doing a great job of making our Website a place to be proud of. Thank you!
