This is your very own classroom website.  I hope you and your parents will visit often to see what we have been doing in class and what we are up to in our inquiry. 

You need to type the URL (http://dolphinkids.edublogs.org) into the address bar at the top of your web browser eg. Internet Explorer.  Then put it into Favourites to make it easier to find next time.

If you wish to make a comment (and Mrs Veary and students really love to see these), click on comments at the bottom of the post and then follow the prompts, type in your comment and click submit comment.  It will then come to Mrs. Veary’s e-mail for approval before it appears on the internet. (You only need to fill in “Name” and type out the spamword you see to show that you are human and not a computer).

Parents please use your child’s name + dad or mum as your name, so we know who has commented eg. Phoebemum or Brodiedad.

Please visit regularly and enjoy the extended boundaries of our classroom, coming right into your home. 

PS: In this way grandparents and family who don’t live in Margaret River can share your child’s progress and learning experience.

Please feel free to ask me for help and offer any suggestions for things you would like to see included in our blog.

A huge thank you to all the parents who gave up their time to come in and help out in the classroom.  Special thanks to Ange, Megan and Kaye for helping with reading and writing over the year; Danny for teaching us all how to use Blender; all those Mums and Dads who provided valuable skills and support with our Technology and Design projects and for coming along to our classroom Celebrations!  You showed your kids how much you value them and their schoolwork (and we hope you had fun too). 

Kind regards, Dawn Veary

You have been a fantastic class to teach.  Enjoy your holiday.
