How to leave a comment...


I can see that some of you have already looked at our classroom blog – thanks!  

The blog is an excellent way of sharing our news, ideas, items and work with our community.  We often visit our blog during class time and the children love it when people make comments about their blog posts.

I have changed the settings on the blog, so I can now moderate comments.  This means all comments are viewed by me before they are published (or not) on our blog.

How to leave a comment on our blog (it is really easy!):
1.    Click ‘comments’ link which will be directly under each post.
2.    Type your comment into the ‘post a comment’ box.
3.    In the ‘comment as’ menu, select ‘Name/URL’.
4.    Write your name in the ‘Name’ section.   To make it easier to recognise you, please refer to yourself as Mrs/Mr/Miss/Ms Surname.
5.    Click ‘continue’.
6.    Click ‘post comment’.
7.    A yellow box should appear saying ‘Your comment will be visible after approval’. 
8.    Your comment will appear once I have viewed/moderated it.
