Hi everyone,
Please take some time to read the published stories and leave some constructive feedback. What did you like, what could be improved, do you have a question for the author? The opening paragraphs are fantastic – really exciting – no “dead handshakes” in our class! I will send Phil Kettle a message and ask him to have a look at what you have done.
If you have not yet uploaded your story, please hurry up!
To add your post, you need to use the details in your digital learning notebook. If you are unsure of how to add a new post, ask someone who has successfully uploaded their story. Diamond doesn’t have an Edublogs username so a friend will have to upload her story for her. Thanks everyone. I am looking forward to reading the rest of your stories soon. Please don’t forget to check out the comments posted to your own story! We have received some great feedback from New Zealand.
If you are at a loose end, you could start looking for RELIABLE sources for your Famous Scientist information report. Don’t forget you will need to include a bibliography at the end of your report so add any good sites that you use to your favourites or bookmarks so that you can jot the urls down later. This is the rubric we will be using to check that we are validating our sources and using a bibliography properly.

The only other thing I have to say is how much I LOVE learning in our room and seeing you kids SO excited to learn makes me the happiest teacher in the world!
Bye for now (but not for ever)
Mrs Guest
