Why not let some of our Year 6 pupils tell you why they like blogging!

On Tuesday afternoon we had the pleasure of a visit by Nicola Stables from Holmfirth Primary School. Nicola had asked to come and visit us to talk all about blogging. Nicola is a keen ‘blogger’ as you’ll see in a minute but was keen to discuss school blogging as she was looking to build her own school blog. Well, what better place to come?

Nicola blogged about her experiences here at Heathfield. You can read that post here:

I was very proud of the pupils at Heathfield Primary School as their enthusiasm shone and remains to shine. I can honestly say that the enthusiasm shown during Nicola’s visit is evident in everyday life at Heathfield. Well done everybody!!

Pleasewatch this ‘commoncraft’ explanation of what Blogging is all about! Blogging in plain English.

Please use the pad below to write a FANTASTIC story together. The column on the left is where the story will be written, the column on the top right is where you can write you name and age next to your colour (this will help people know who you are!) The column on the right below that one is where you can chat through your ideas with each other.

Please note that people all over the world can see this! Please make sure you try your best with you spellings and punctuation. The title of the story is: After I Melt!

Please click here if you prefer to work with the pad full page.

Here’s how it works:
Someone will start the story, you can watch people type and you will see the typing appear like magic! If you feel you can add more detail or up level some words then you can click on a space or a word, delete it, or add some of your own. We are asking children of all ages at Heathfield Primary to get involved so please don’t spend your time deleting work as this could be someone’s best efforts. Don’t be afraid to start typing, you’ll soon see that it is really fun and you will be amazed!! So..

Who’s going to start us off?

Please make a comment if you have an idea on what the story could be about!

Thanks to @mattboot for the above document! Please use it when blogging!
