Blogging With Mr Bourne

Mr Bourne's Class

We are looking at using a blog to help in our learning. We will have a blog for a while to see how we can use it and when we can use it. Some of us will work from home and add to our friends blogs!

Numeracy Blog Working

Article posted December 6, 2006 at 10:50 PM GMT0 • Reads 65

So we have now trialled blogging for a few months and it is great.

Each lesson the pupils are keen to be the one to be in charge of the blog, for that session!



They are more involved in the learning and by writing a blog we have a record of our learning.



This has allowed pupils who are absent to catch up and theose who are keen to take learning home to continue it.

House Teams

Article posted May 21, 2007 at 02:43 PM GMT0 • Reads 81

This year as a school we are going to start having house teams. We are going to have the whole school split into 4 teams. These will be used for sportsday and more importantly every week we will count which house has the most points. The points will be given out every week for good involvement in lessons, and the house captains ( from year 6) will count up the school total to see which team is in the lead!

What do you think?

Comment back here.
