Summer Holiday independent Learning Project



I would love to see you start blogging over the holidays.  If you have not already done so, post your blog address under the post just under this one.  If you have your blog here, I will follow the blog over the holiday and happily comment on your stories, poetry and reports.

Have a look at the design you have chosen, customise it if you want to. Georgia has fish she can feed on hers and everything!there is loads you can do.  Have a go at adding images, redesigning the layout or adding apps.

Check out some other blogs on blogger and follow them.  There are loads of amazing blogs out there.  Some are on very specific topics or hobbies.  Others are just daily rambling, sharing of thoughts, feeling and events in life.

How about some poetry, a short story or a report on an a activity you have done?  Happy blogging!

REMINDER - be mindful of what you put out there, it is public so be safe and sensible online.
