Why do we Blog?

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.

  5. Hi Eve and Orla, great blog post!
    I loved reading what you had written and I feel that it
    describes why we blog perfectly.

    By continuing to blog we are developing lots of skills, most of them you have listed.
    By blogging we are developing our confidence with ourselves and also building on our organisation skills because we need to make time to write articles and comment on other posts.

    I am also in the student media team and I am looking forward to typing up more articles for the blog and also creating a class newspaper for primary 4/5.

    I agree with Emily and would love to hear more from you.
