Charlie's Snake Blog (apparently Charlie really love snakes) it is a good example of what a stage three child can achieve in writing their own blog, and would be suitable to show to students in Stage 3. Charlie talks about his own interests such as the fact that he likes to read in bed at night and also at school, he also shares his feelings on the blog such as the fact that he is very excited about dressing up to Halloween. This blog demonstrates to students that they can make their own blogs personal and discuss their specific likes and dislikes.
Climb High is a year three Canadian class blog. This blog is suitable for all primary ages as an example of what a class blog might look like, it contains posts highlighting the achievements of both individual students and the class as a whole. I like the way this post, posted only 3 days into the school year, highlights the early reading achievements of the children in the class - both describing their achievement in text and showing it in pictures. I'm sure the children in the class would have been very excited to see themselves on the internet, after only 3 days of school.
Receptions - Room 25 @ Willunga Primary is an Australian Kindergarten class blog. This blog also shows photographs from class and student achievements, but has a strong emphasis on communication with parents. I think this is an important role for a class blog - there is only so much you can put in a letter home to parents and
many teachers only have the occasional chance to speak to parents in person. This class blog demonstrates how it is possible to keep parents appraised of the class activities on a continuing basis. This role for the class blog is applicable across all the primary years.
