Welcome to our new website! This part of the website will be our main news feed in the form of a blog. It will be a period of learning for all the teacher's and children involved as we try out various ways of communicating with the school community. We are excited about our website evolving and feedback is greatly appreciated along the way.
There are lots of benefits to blogging that we have to look forward to. Not alone will it be a great way of creating links between our school and home but through using and interacting with the blog, the children will be practising internet safety, reading, writing, ICT skills and more. Please read the tab 'What is Blogging?' under the 'News Blog' heading to find out about blogging.
We will be emphasising to the children the need for safe use and respect for each other when adding comments and ask that the school community support us in this. Please read the guidelines below for commenting on our blog:
