Newest Blog Features Explained

In the last week, a couple of new features have been added to the blog. Here's an overview of them:

Reactions: Below each post, you will now see a series of checkboxes. These allow you to quickly show us how you feel about the post. Did you find it useful or interesting? Or do you think it is an excellent post? Let us know!
Don't forget that if you want to have your say or express an opinion about a particular post, you can always click on the 'comments' button to leave your own comment!

Labels: This little element, found at the bottom of the right side-bar allows you to filter posts to quickly access the content you are most interested in. For example, if you click the 'work' label, you will see a list of the posts that have been created to show off the children's work. Hopefully, as more is added to this blog, this will be a very useful tool in filtering posts and finding the content you're looking for.

Enjoy the next features, explore the blog, and feel free to post a comment or check a reaction box!

The winning entries are:

Reception - Grace

Year 1 - Matthew

Year 2 - Sophia

Year 3 - George

Year 4 - Rebecca

Year 5 - Sophia

A big congratulations to those children who got their logos up on the site, and a massive well done to everyone who took part!
