We are ready to start quadblogging!

Today is the official start of our quadblogging with the three schools that are in our Quad 92. You can find links to their blogs on the right side of this blog.
We have been practising how to write quality comments to someone's blog post. We started off by watching this wonderful video made by children from a school in California by clicking on this link: http://cherrytree.primaryblogger.co.uk/a-quality-comment/

Then we practised our blogging skills on each other's posts. You can read the comments we wrote to Margaret's and Jack's posts.
We came up with a learning intention and success criteria on how to write an effective comment. We wrote a shared comment to our friends in Ruma Kea. Now we are ready to comment on our quadblogging buddies.
The focus blog for this week is Mount Annan Christian College - Mrs Zantides' Class.

Happy quadblogging everyone!

Quadblogging

As we are just learning how to write a quality comment on someone's blog post, I am excited that Ruma Kakapo has signed up for quadblogging with three other schools - two from the UK, and one from Australia.
Quadblogging is when four blogs take turns at reading each other blogs. Every week, a different blog is the focus blog, and the other three blogs are commenting. Read more about it here: http://quadblogging.net/
I have made contact with the other schools, and as soon as we have a rotation set up, we can start to read, write and comment.
In the meantime, can we hone our writing skills to show off our best writing?
