P7 love to blog as we can express our interests. Our blog lets a varied audience from all around the world interact with what we are doing in our class. It lets individual pupils share their experiences and achievements.

As we continue to blog we will develop key skills for example literacy, ICT and typing. We also become more aware of cyber safety.

Internet safety is very important. We know that we should never share our passwords or personal information.  Our blog is really safe although it is available for the world to view.

Blogging has lots of benefits such as social skills, classroom community and global connections. It means we are constantly improving on our literacy skills for the future. It also enhances our online confidence.

Not only is blogging beneficial, our whole class love writing and commenting on posts. Our class enjoy answering our ‘Question of the Week,’ and giving their own opinions on class debates.

Furthermore, P7 have established a new Student Media Team who are responsible for the upkeep of our blog, taking classroom ‘snapshots’ of learning, writing class newspapers and updating other social media outlets.

We hope that this explains why our class blog and encourages others to start blogging too.
