Welcome to the Tetherdown Primary School Year 5 blog.
As part of ICT in our school we have decided to start a blog. A blog is like an online journal and “blogging” is writing that is done online. Our blog will have posts that are written by the Year 5 children. They will be able to share their writing as well as the different things we have been learning in class. As the blog will be live on the web, parents, peers and even strangers will be able to give the children feedback.

We will be using our blog to help children improve their writing. This can be achieved as children will receieve comments about their writing and will become critical thinkers, learning to edit and improve their own writing. The blog will also create closer links between school and home. Parents will be able to read children’s posts and leave comments.
