    Koalas

    Some things we found out about koalas when researching them on Friday. Koalas are native to Australia. Koalas are not bears. Koalas eat eucalypt leaves and almost nothing else.

  • Reminder

      Dear Mums and Dads, Don't forget that the students come back to school on Wednesday this week. Also my year 2 will need to wear their sports uniform on Thursday as Gross Motor begins with the university students. Don't forget your library books.

Digital Citizenship

• Anyone around the world can see what you write online. Different cultures use different words and may require differeny protocol. What might be an acceptable word here, may offend others! Take care at all times.

• Digital citizenship means we do not ever aim to hurt anyone’s feelings or bully them.

• Never meet anyone you have met on the internet  without asking your parents permission.

• Make sure you publish only your own work. Take your own photos, create your own music.  If you use online images make sure there is a creative commons license or  get written permission from the owner.

• Read over your writing before you post it to check spelling and that it reads well before publishing or commenting.

• It is always good protocol to reply to a person who comments on your blog, by either emailing them back or commenting back on their blog. Conversations can then begin.

Be a Good Digital Citizen
The internet is a little like the proverbial elephant that never forgets. Our digital footprints are not like the footprints on the beach, washed away by the next wave or rising tide. Rather they are like footprints left to dry in the wet concrete of the footpath. Permanent.
The Digital Citizen will follow six rules of citizenship.

  • Respect yourself
  • Protect yourself
  • Respect others
  • Protect others
  • Respect Intellectual Property
  • Protect Intellectual property.
  • Respect yourself
