The Learning Blog

This learning blog will be a good source of information, and will contain links to various other websites that will help you to create your blog. Over the next few weeks you will learn how to add creative content, including pictures/photos, text, presentations and hyperlinks, then publish all of this on the world wide web!

Welcome to the Chad Vale Y6 Learning Blog 2011

Hi Y6...

Our Blogging Project over the next few weeks will give you the opportunity to create your own blog (or 'web-log') that can be accessed from the internet anywhere in the world.

Your blogs will be linked to the Chad Vale website and you will be able to access them from home. Working with a partner, you will create a 'learning blog' to help others with an aspect of Maths, Science or Literacy. This will also give you the skills of creating content and publishing.
