Blogging

It has been really great to be able to visit people's blogs and read what they think about what is going on in school (extra brownie points to all those kids who have changed the look of their blog - even if Seb's choice of colours nearly crashed my computer).

If you look to the top of this blog you'll see that I've added a countdown widget. This will show the time left until important events. For now, it shows the deadline to have everyone's first blog posted. Check everyone's link on the day to see if we all made it in time.

Any suggestions for our next lesson on blogging? I think it should be how to correct punctuation and grammar mistakes, but then I am the teacher.

This Week At School

This week at school we have been:

· Improving the way that we write dialogue. This will be a major focus for this term.
· Improving the strategies that we use to solve division problems.
· Learning to respond to and say simple classroom instructions in Maori.
· Doing cross-country running.
· Learning how to gather information and change it into notes that we can use later.
· Creating our dance for Stage Challenge.

Go and ask one of the kids about this. Go on...

Welcome

Welcome.

You have found yourself at Thorndon School’s Room 5 blogsite. This is a space where work at school can be shared with people outside of school. You may be a parent of someone in the class. You may be a friend of someone in the class. You may be someone interested in education. Whoever you may be – welcome. We hope that you enjoy reading what we have to share.

You will also find links down the side of this page that will take you to individual blogsites for everyone in the class. These blogs are managed by individual class members. They have chosen what to write about and what to share. Comments of encouragement and ways that we can improve our work will be gratefully accepted.
