How to use our blog!

We want as many comments from our visitors as possible - the whole point of this blog is for the children to be able to share their learning with friends, family, the whole world! Getting comments on their work really is motivating for the children. I also gives them a purpose for the work they do - their work is being read by a genuine world-wide audience (last year's blog reached over 33,000 visits from over 100 different countries!). There are many posts for you to read - you can read the most recent ones on the homepage, or scroll to the bottom of the page for an archive of older posts. One the right-hand side of the screen there is also a search facility, so that you can search for your child's work (use their first name, or JackM/JackW if a name is repeated!).

Parents and other visitors! Please don't just read the blog - be a part of it! Make comments on the work, praise it, give ideas for how it could be made even better. The more this happens, the bigger the motivation it becomes for the children. Don't just comment on your own child's work, comment on anything you find on the blog! Be assured that the blog is a safe area for your children's work to be shared - no comments are displayed until they've been approved by me.

We're working hard to get work from every child on to the blog. If you want to do something for the blog with your child at home and then email it in, please feel free! We'd love to have work from parents as well as children shared here! The blog's email address is ash.greenfields@gmail.com

We're looking forward to hearing from you! Perhaps you might share your memories of your school days, write about a favourite family trip, maybe you've created something magnificent on your computer, or done an artistic masterpiece with your child - it's up to you!


How to make comments:
Making comments on the blog is easy! At the end of each blog post, there is a 'comments' button which displays how many comments have been made on that post. Click on this and you will be able to make a comment too! When you click on the button, you'll open up a box in which you can type your comment. Under this box there is the 'Comment as' selection tool. If you have a gmail account (free to set up here) you can sign in to comment. Alternatively you may choose the 'Name/URL' option - type your first name into the name box (or something like: 'Pete's mum, Tricia' - no surnames please!) and leave the URL box blank - you can then leave your comment!

Happy blogging!
Mr K :-)

  4. Hi, your blog is ever so rich. Your pupils' writing on 100wc are always interesting.
    My pupils enjoyed the last time we had a session with yours. I hope we can have another Skype session in he coming term. 1st week of May is okay for us. Do let me know what you think and then we can schedule a convenient time for both classes.
    It will be nice to have your pupils also visit our blog and make contributions. I am planning a more interesting blog next term with the involvement of parents to make it ore interactive.
    Thank you. Cheers!
