Quadblogging

We have been lucky enough to be accepted into the Sep - Dec intake of Quadbloggers.
This means we have been matched with 3 other classes from around the world. Each week one of the class blogs is the focus. Each class will visit the blog daily and students will comment on the posts.
This is an amazing oppurtunity to create an authentic audience for the children, get immediate feedback on posts and work. We also get to meet and talk with other students from around the world. I am hoping this is just the beginning of an on- going relationship with these classes that can continue.

Please have a look on our Quadblogging Tab at the top of this page to view our Quadblogging classes.
