Blogging Rules
Home Page
Welcome to Kirkheaton Primary School Blog
A ‘weblog’ or ‘blog’ is an online journal or diary. The activity of updating a blog is called ‘blogging’ and someone who keeps a blog is a ‘blogger’.
We hope to use our blog for podcasting, videos and photos as well as displaying children’s work. The children will be able to add their own posts to the blog and administer the class pages.
Anyone can view and add comments to our blog: teachers, staff, children, parents, governors, in fact anyone in the world!
All comments will be read before they can appear on our blog.

How to write a good comment
When people take the time to write a post, it’s fantastic if you can find the time to write a comment to let them know what you thought. When you write comments, try to keep these things in mind:
- Be positive! Remember to tell the poster the things you liked about the post.
- Use the ’3 stars and a wish’ if you want to comment on how someone can make a piece of work better. Say ‘it could be even better if’.
- Comments can be read by anyone from all over the world, so try your best with your spelling, but it doesn’t have to be perfect.
- Just saying ‘cool’ or gr8 might make the poster feel good, but even better would be saying why it’s cool.
