Comment Help
Remember, your comments are reflective comments just like your smiley face comments at school. You can share what you’ve learnt, what you enjoyed and ask any questions you may have. Also, don’t forget to write full sentences with the correct punctuation!
A bad example: ‘I’ve learnt loads, that was great’
A good example: ‘I’ve learnt that the Sun is in the centre of our solar system and that it is really big’
Never Use a Full Name
Use other names, but nothing silly as this name appears for everyone to see. Names that are full names or sill names will not be posted. Use abbreviations like Mr G or Miss P or your initials will do.
