    These rules are both exceptional and excellent. They will help individuals become internet -wise. They will also help children develop their writing skills.
    Do you think if these rules were introduced to the school, it would become a better place?
    I think they have covered everything with these rules and I truly cannot wait to start blogging so people all over the world can read my work.

    • Hannah says:

      Your post is out-standing and you have covered all the ideas the person was trying to include in their posts. Personally, I think that if the rules in blogging were introduced to school, it would improve other peoples language and the quality of their work in every piece of work given to them as you included in your comment.

  12. Augustine says:

    The rules are good to follow, it will make us safer on the internet and will help students improve their literacy skills including their spellings.

  13. Nikkala says:

    I think these are outsatnding rules that help with being safe on the internet, mainly because this is a public site, which means anyone can have access to it. Was it hard making such good rules? The spellings are correct and helpful, incase someone else does not know how to spell these particular words. I do not think you have left any major points out, also you have covered all the important points. I am looking forward to blogging and sharing my ideas with other people.

    • Hannah says:

      I strongly agree with your post on Blogging Guidelines. You have covered the main ideas which the person who posted the post has included in their work. I also think you should have included how it will improve other childrens way of speaking and work in their books. But, on the whole, great work. Well Done!

  14. Paul says:

    I strongly agree with the rules because it would help people who do not know blogging not to use informal language and to use formal language. Also,I think
    most people could improven thier language

    • Darren says:

      I totally agree with you paul cause I also think that it can teach people who are new to this how to blog

      • Hannah says:

        Paul, your work is of a good quality and I agree with the points you have included in your comment. How do you think it could improve other peoples language? I spotted a few punctuation and spelling errors in your work.
        For example, you wrote: Also,I think most people could improven thier language, when it is supposed to be – Also, I think most people could improve their language.

  15. Dylan says:

    I can not wait for your new rules I am so happy!
    I agree with rule number 3 because the language that some people use is inapropriate.
    It can give people a negative image about the school and the children that go there.

  16. Jenniah-Mae says:

    I agree with the rules, I think they should apply to all students. These rules will help with keeping safe on the internet during giving your opinion on peices of writing. Blogging will also help some of the students build their confidence and improve their spelling and grammar. I am personally looking forward to posting work online to my classmates and being able to learn from my mistakes.

  17. rashad says:

    I strongly agree that we should follow the rules and keep safe on the internet. Also, I will post helpful comments and no personal information or detail about my life or inapropiate language to comment about someones work. I will respect each others work and use punctation to describe or comment about someones story.I am very looking forward to blogging.

  18. Caleb says:

    I understand the rules and I agree with them to, plus you have not left any thing out. I also agree that people should post compliments, add informations or ask a question towards what is going on withthe work.

  19. Isaac says:

    Blog comes from the words Web and Log. It is essential to help people share their views and other people give contructive critisim to help them improve.

  20. Christopher says:

    I am looking forward to doing this blogging and the rules for guiding us all make sense to me. I agree that we should follow these rules to make our learning fun and safe.Excellent!

  21. Augustine says:

    I think blogging is great for kids to share the news about whats happening in the world to everyone.

    • rashad says:

      Well I do agree to some of your statements, because they are true. Are you sure you want to share news?

  22. Bria says:

    I totally agree with these rules because it helps with childrens language and speaking properly. Also you didn’t include what kind of presonal information you shouldn’t give out to people on the web. So for example you shouldn’t give out your home address and mobile numbers. I am personally looking forward to blogging online and commenting on other peoples post.

  23. Deborah says:

    I totally agree with rule 3 because some students use slang and inappropriate language. Because it could give the student emotions and bad feelings about themselves. It can also give the student strange feeling.

  24. Isaac says:

    Blogging offers people the chance to show what they know with the world and they give feedback to show where they need to add more ‘detail’.

  25. Jemima says:

    I strongly agree that these rules should be implied as soon as possible. Rule number four includes ” personal details ” but has not been explained clearly. Could you add an extensive line of complex personal details that I am not allowed to post as I already know the basics?
    Many children use the internet unwisely, they post unsuitable pictures and photos to the public on Facebook and Twitter which starts fights and chaos.

  26. Ohemaa says:

    I strongly agree with these rules they help us to do the right thing and make our learning fun! Also I think that you should not use inappropiate language on websites. Awesome!

  27. carmel says:

    I think that the rules are appropriate for young children and we should obey these rules ,I strongly agree that we should follow them. I believe that when we follow this progress,our levels will go higher and improve punctuation and grammar.For number four it says never give out personal information for example a year three child might not know what its trying to say so the might give out there personal information

  28. Emily says:

    For rule number four you should not give your address, phone number, the name of your school and where you live. I also think that when you do not give your phone number poeple will not be able to trace you.

  29. Jemima says:

    I strongly agree that these rules should be implied as soon as possible. Rule number four includes ” personal details ” but has not been explained clearly. Could you add an extensive line of complex personal details that I am not allowed to post as I already know the basics?
    Many children use the internet unwisely, they post unsuitable pictures and photos to the public on Facebook and Twitter which starts fights and chaos.
    Personaly, I looking forward to blogging for the school.

  30. Jada says:

    I strongly agree with the rules and how you have set it out.Also,I will follow the rules and keep safe on the internet. I also will post good and helpful comments to help the writer of what they have written and the words or puncution they got incorrect.However,if somebody writes a comment and uses bad language, the other person might get really upset. I am really getting forward to blogging on the internet and showing my work.

    • Deborah says:

      I think that if you introduce these rules to different schools in the community they will get along very fine with bogging. Once they see the rules they will know not to use inappropriate langage

  31. Taejall says:

    Im gonna take more caution when typing and writing.Kids from the younger years should take caution

  32. Hannah says:

    I think these rules are exceptional and I agree with all the rules for being safe on the internet listed above. These rules will be helpful to people blogging and using the internet, specifically because many people do not have the understanding of blogging. I am sure it took you quite a long time to come up with these rules.
    How did you come up with such good rules and what gave you the ideas? The spelling and punctuation is outstanding and I have not noticed any grammar or punctuation errors. In all you have covered all the main points in blogging and using the internet. I am really looking forward to blogging.

  33. Khaliyl says:

    I think rule number four should have examples such as what Emily said.

  34. Dwight says:

    The rules are good for young people.Young people should not be allowed to write slang

  35. Isaac says:

    To blog is simular to writing an online diary, where when you post your information, it goes to a moderator who monitors what you write for security reasons and people can comment back.

  36. rashad says:

    I strongly and totally agree with the rules because it helps young children improve in there writing and skills and also inapropiate words that have been posted will be published or deleted looking forward to blogging!!!!!!

  37. Dylan says:

    blog is like writing a diary but its good to blog and good in reading skills

  38. Deborah says:

    I agree with you Jenniah-mae because all these rules should be applied to all students.
    I agree because many young people use slang when they are not supposed to and they disobey orders (instructions) that they are given

  39. Jada says:

    I strongly agree with the rules and how the children stay safe however, you have not told me how to say safe on the computer all the good and bad things not to do on the computer. I would always follow the rules and keep safe on the internet and I will not use bad language about other people.

  40. anane says:

    I think that all these rules are safe!

  41. rashad says:

    i think the rules and saftey should be used an not access or use the blogging as ust a chat room or languages that is not very appropiate for young children.

  42. Dylan says:

    Please comment on my writing and read it to get better in your reading skills.
    I think that if you go on this and write a comment and read all the comment people have done

  43. Deborah says:

    I love these rules because if there were no rules people(pupils) will use inappropriate language swearing and slang

  44. Dylan says:

    If you want to get better at your work please write a diary every day and you would see the differents on your child’s work

  45. Nikkala says:

    I think these comments are true and the rules, are an amazing way to have fun while blogging.

  46. Chyna Mclain Parks says:

    I think these are some awesome rules.

  47. Chyna Mclain Parks says:

    I strongly agree that these rules should be implied as soon as possible. Rule number four includes ” personal details ” but has not been explained clearly. Could you add an extensive line of complex personal details that I am not allowed to post as I already know the basics?

    Personaly, I looking forward to blogging for the school.

  48. Mrs Easton says:

    As a first time blogger, I find having guidelines and rules really helpful.
    I’ve read all of the comments and there are some excellent responses. What a sensible Year 6 we have at St Paul’s!

    • Hannah says:

      I agree with Mrs Easton, these rules, as well as guidelines are very helpful to first time bloggers. I know most of the comments are very sensible and appropriate to what has been posted.
      Well Done to us, the Yr6 group!!!!!!!

  57. Daniella says:

    i really agree with these rules. i think they will help me when i am blogging myself. i think it is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  58. Emmanuella says:

    I think these rules are really good because we could not be sending anyone rude things also their teacher would see if she or he corrects their work she or he would not make the whole world see so I think the rules is a great idea

  59. Emmanuella says:

    I think the rules are good like this

  65. Fiona says:

    These blogging rules are very useful to other people.

  66. Emmanuella says:

    this is useful to new pupils so KEEP them

  67. Ainsley says:

    I like the idea of having guidelines. They are a big help to how people comment about others work. I also think it helps you be more confident about when you blog because it makes you believe in yourself and take in what they want to say. It can guide well and before you comment you look at the wonderful rules there.They are amazing!

  68. Ainsley.A says:

    I think this will really make an impact on people’s use of language when they’re speaking to the blogger. Especially the one that says don’t use slang because the blog is to show the school work we’ve been learning not to discourage others or maybe even get them into talking slang with you. These guidelines are amazing not for me but it should be for everyone who wants to blog or comment.
