Have you ever set any goals for yourself? Maybe to buy a bike or an iPod - I know my niece is often around at my place to earn money so she can buy something she really wants or to save to go on a skiing holiday on the mainland.
Sometimes though it is hard to actually achieve your goals unless you set some smaller steps to help you gain the big goal. I have just read Aiden’s goals both personal and learning and he has decided on some steps along the way. Read some of the other student blogs at Mrs C in Victoria. Remember to make a comment if you have similar goals.
What would you set as a personal goal and a school goal to try and achieve by the end of term 1? What steps would help you gain that goal by the end of term 1?
I wonder what types of technology your parents, older brothers and sisters, neighbours or other relatives use in their work place? Do they blog, use wikis, mobile phones, podcasts etc? You might like to create a survey or questionaire and give your responses in a graph. Ask them questions on this topic, then either the student or the parent can write a comment back in this blog.

As this is going to be the first time many of you are using a blog, I need to be sure you know how to interact on the web safely. What are three things you can mention in a blog? What are three things you should NEVER mention in a blog and why? Write your answers in two separate paragraphs but in the same comment.
If you have some time at home and want to visit a couple of good websites I have found mentioned on other teachers’ blogs, try these out: ……
Creating a comic strip
Maths Dictionary for kids
Designing a flag that represents you
