Comments please!

We would really love to hear any comments you have about the ‘blog’ we have been trying out over the last 2 terms.  It has been our ‘experiment’ – a way to share what happens at school every day with our families at home.  Maybe you could tell us:

• What you enjoyed reading about?
• If the photos / videos were ‘cool’?
• Is there anything we didn’t share that you would like to have seen?
• Was it helpful having links to games etc that we use at school?
• Do you have any other ideas to help make it better next year?

 Any comments (positive and negative) will be useful for the future!  Thank you.

Either use the 'comments' tool below or email us at: ccsaroha@gmail.com
