Welcome to Ross School's blog site.

This is Ross School's first attempts at blogging.

Please make comments on the works giving positive feedback for the 5 to 11 year olds who will be bloging. While spelling is important to us, it is not the intent of this site to have perfect spelling and grammar all of the time. this is more for the students to get their ideas out and have discussions with the world on these.

Remember some important internet safety rules when using this site (and others):

• never give your full name
• never give your phone number, address or email details
• don't mention where you will be at a particular time
• don't put any of that information on the net about anyone else
• think carefully if you respond to anyone else's comments because they can't hear your tone of voice to determine if you are joking or serious
• it is ok to have a debate with someone if you don't agree with their ideas but do it in a friendly manner do not call people names or put them down

Thank you.

Mr B

Teddy Bears

This story was written by Room 2, one word at a time:


Kidsline kids are awesome and Christmas episodes are very boring junk and smelly. Teddy doll was killed in the toilet. The teddy bee went to mud land in a coffin with war solders. Teddy went Kucoo in honey bees. Teddy went to Honey's shack in boxer shorts. Doughnuts fire people together.


This was a random sentence written by all of Room 2.
