Welcome and READ FIRST before using or posting

 Hi and welcome to Yellow Pineapple, a blog for pupils and families in my classes or clubs to connect at home. Before we get going, please read all the guidelines first.

• Posts: I try to ensure that each blog is spell checked and grammatically correct. However, I am far from perfect. If you see an error, please let me know. 
•  
•  Comments: You don't need to sign up for anything to post a comment. You can post anonymously. I have to 'approve' each comment before it will show up on the blog. Still, there may be times when something slips through, so please let me know if you spot anything that doesn't belong. As far as comments, the rule is always 'school friendly'. If you don't think you would use the words in school, don't use them here. And... be encouraging. We are all learning.
•  
• The exciting thing about blogging and getting your comments is looking forward to you sharing your thoughts and ideas! That is so exciting! Learning is about wondering, figuring out things work and problem solving. We all make mistakes and that is part of learning! So share what your ideas and thoughts are, agree and disagree with others ideas, but be considerate. 
•  
• Code Names: The world wide web (WWW) is exactly that, world wide. You will notice that you can respond to my posts through comments. To protect the privacy of pupils and families, students can register a 'code name' in my class to let me know who they are. When creating a code name, stay away from using names, birthdays or places that you live. Try choosing a code name of a hobby, sport or animal you like! Staying away from posting 'personal' information on the WWW helps keep your identity safe and strangers away. 
•  
• Posting personal and school names: Don't! I won't approve any comments with personal names or, if I can, I will edit them out. 
•  
• How do I find my club or class information? On the right side is a section called “Post Topics”. When you select your club or class title, it will list all the posts for that class/club in order! So rather than scrolling through all the blogs, you can always go straight to the ones that interest you. 
•  
• Will I e-mail you back? This blog is open to the whole world. You can log your e-mail with me in class. I will not discuss any students by e-mail. You are welcome to visit me in school. I will generally not respond about any class or club information unless you have your e-mail registered with me in school. Why? Just to make sure I don't e-mail any data about a class or club to strangers.

Now that all the info is over, take a look at the “Post Topics”, find your class or club and lets have some fun!
