The school holidays have finally come to an end and I am sure that each of us had a great time and a well deserved holiday break no matter where we were.
This year, with a brand new class, Room 18 will continue to update our wonderful blog site, and continue to enhance our learning through the use of this online learning space.
There are a few rules to remember though ... here are our blog guidelines.
In working with this blog and any other webspaces, all students need to ensure that they follow these important guidelines. They are designed to make sure that you enjoy these spaces.
• Only ever use your first name or a nickname when you are writing on this or other blogs or wikis.
• Never use any other student’s last name.
• Never post any personal information–such as your home or cellphone number or home address on this or any other blog or wiki.
• Never share any of your usernames or passwords with anyone and never log in as another student.
• Always tell your parents or teacher right away if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
• Remember the “grandma rule” that anything you put on the internet could be read by your grandmother so only write things you could say to the nicest of grannies.
• Be a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt anyone else.
• Always check with an adult if someone asks for your phone number or to meet you.
• Never make arrangements to meet anyone over the internet. Always talk to your parents or teacher if this is an issue.
• Make sure you publish only your own work. Don’t under any circumstances use other people’s work and call it your own.
• Make sure that you read over your writing before you post it to check the spelling and that it reads okay.
If you wish to change or add to these rules please post a comment with details of our reasons.
Use this first post as a way to introduce yourself and your family. Include - your first name only, the suburb you live in, your year level, your interests and hobbies, what makes you unique and special, your family information - how many brothers and sisters you have, maybe even something interesting about your mum and dad, and of course tell us what goals you want to achieve this year in the wonderful Room 18!
Have fun and welcome to Room 18, 2010!!

Very soon I will be turning 11 and I am very glad to be back in Andrew's class for year 6 too. I am excited about going to camp in Term Two and the rest of the school year. So far the Year has gone very well and I have already recieved two certificates. One was the default school format awarded for Extra Helpfulness, the other one is a speciallized neon orange certificate much like a little flyer awarded for Caring For Others. I made a blog last year that I will now Update. I am actually planning to make a new blogger account. One of them will be especially for Personal events and one other will be mostly filled with recent school assignments we are working on and I may put some brief preveiws into it as well.

I think whaling in Antartica is bad because whales are endangered creatures and we should let those still alive, live.
I don't think that the protestor should have boarded the ship because it is illegal but he has made himself and the antiwhaling group known around the world.
I think that he should be returned to his ship because he was doing what he believed in.
