Many students in the blogging challenge have done some great research on this topic for their BAD post. There will be a post highlighting some of their posts over the weekend.

I hope every participant in the student blogging challenge is going to be a BAD writer on Thursday 15 October. ”Why be a BAD writer on just that day?” you ask. “Isn’t Miss W shouting when she uses capital letters in blogging?” No, she isn’t. She is using an acronym. BAD stands for Blog Action [...]

Thanks again to Larry Ferlazzo for this note about the improvements to the free rice website. I had been to this site a few times, earning rice to be donated. But now instead of just English vocabulary, you can practise your tables or learn the capital cities of countries around the world. If you are [...]
Another great game from the BBC KS2 Bitesize website. If you are interested in science, maths and language then this game is for you. It is interactive in that you have to do things in a certain order before the games begin on each slide. When I first came up against these interactive sites, I [...]
