The Porstwood Blog has been set up to allow children from Year Six at Portswood Primary School to reflect and comment about their experiences in the classroom.
Everything that you see written has been written by them. All their writing is proof read before publication but apart from checking for sense and spelling it is pretty much unaltered. The photographs are all taken and uploaded by the children themselves and what is chosen to be snapped is their own choice.
The rules for writing on the blog given to the children are:
1) Write your blog, letting everybody know what has been happening in school.
2) Do not include any names (pupil or teacher), even your own.
3) Include photographs of things not people.
4) Do write well - remember your writing is representing the whole school at large to the whole world, if they want to read it!
5) Be honest. People want to know what you think of things, but be fair. The Internet is not the place to air your bad feelings!
6) You must have your work read by an adult before it is published. This adult must be a teacher from Year Six and not a supply teacher.
