Term 2

Welcome back to Room 9

This term we have been looking at other ways to learn in Room 9. 

Please try out some of the cool links under Spelling...Maths...Kidblog...

These have been linked to support what we are doing in class and we think that they are a FUN way to practice.

When you have had a 'play' please leave a comment on this page to tell us what you have learnt.

Kidblog allows us to write stories or facts that interest the author (children). The children in Room 9 would love your feedback on their writing.

Kidblog Home Page  Try this link or ask your child to sign in and comment via their page. Remember the children have to sign in to publish.
