Goodness me! What an entry we had last week! Nearly 3000 pieces of writing! Well done everyone involved.

Commenting

We are getting more comments being left every week which is great. Lots of children are joining in which again is fantastic BUT can we help them to leave a really good comment?

Comments like – “This is so so” and “Needs more grammar” are not particularly useful. Why not share this great post written by a Year 6 student that explains what make a good comment  Good Comments

One of our staunchest supporters, Mrs Boyce, in Ireland, has shared this with us, which may also help train the children to become really effective commenters:

A GOOD COMMENT –
1. Compliments  – I like the/ how  .. I enjoyed the …
2. Comments – I agree that .. I think that ..
3. Connects – I also have..I have seen the … It also reminds me of …
4. Questions – I wonder ..Why?.. Who?.. What?… When?… Where?… How?…
