Room 1 Blogging Guidelines

Room 1 Blogging Guidelines.

Today we decided as a class on our Room 1 Blogging Rules.
Blogging is a very public activity. Anything that gets posted on the internet stays there where anyone can access it from anywhere in the world. We want to keep safe and happy when we are online so we have set some rules.

It is really important we all follow these rules because they are designed to keep us safe while we are online!

These are our rules...

We will:

  • Only use our FIRST NAME on the blog.

  • Only use SENSIBLE and KIND words.

  • Not write any of our PERSONAL DETAILS on our blog - Don’t share anything that you don’t want the world to know -this includes phone numbers, personal email address, home address and family information.

  • Only have our first name, work or photo on the blog if we have written PARENT PERMISSION.

  • Only put nice PHOTOS of other people on. Before you put someone’s photo on check with that it’s OK with them and check that their parent has given permission for their photos to go online.

  • Be RESPONSIBLE when using and writing on our blog.

  • Get all posts on the blog CHECKED by the teacher before publishing

    We also ask that...
    parents and adults commenting only use their FIRST name or describe themselves as "John's Mum" (for example) so they don't identify their child

    All comments on our blog are also "moderated" by the teacher first. This means she checks them and they have to be approved by her before they go onto our blog.
    If you have any other questions about the security of our blog, please contact the teacher.

The Old Oak Tree

May 10
This morning we had fun outside exploring the signs of winter under the old oak tree by our class. Then we made leaf piles and had a lot of fun with the leaves. After that we used webspiration to record our brainstorm of what we had done. We will be able to use the words on our brainstorm to help us write our stories. This is the first time we have used webspiration.

Water safety at Sandspit Beach

On Friday we went to the beach to learn about water safety with Rooms 3 and 7 and our PE teacher Miss R.

We learned lots of things to keep ourselves safe at the beach.

We learned to :

-make sure we are with a grown up

- swim between the flags at life guard beaches

-put your hand up to signal if you are in trouble in the water and need help.


We learned how to use a life jacket if you are on the water. You need to check it's the right size for you, then zip it and click it.



Then we had a lifejacket relay race. We had to put on a life jacket, zip it and click it, and race around our team.

Feeding the Ducks

Thursday 18th March


This week we collected lots of acorns from the old oak tree. We got them to feed to the ducks at the duck pond in town.

This morning Rooms 1, 3 and 7 walked down to the duck pond to feed the ducks. We wore our yellow safety vests. Parents and grandparents came to help us. We took a shortcut along the grassy track. It was a long walk but it was fun.

We fed the ducks acorns and bread. We stamped on some acorns to crack them open to make it easier for the ducks to eat them. Then we sat on the grassy bank and watched and watched and watched.

The ducks didn't want to come out of the pond but seagulls came to eat the bread. We only saw 3 ducks eat the acorns. Then they went back in the pond.

We think maybe they weren't hungry or were scared of us in our bright vests.
We left all the acorns in a pile by the pond for the ducks to eat later. Then we walked back to school along the grassy track.
It was a fun morning.
