Blogging tips from Grey Main School
Tip #1: Start with a greeting
Remember to address the blogger by name.
Tip #2: Compliment in a Specific Way
Tip #2: Compliment in a Specific Way
A compliment is a great way to begin a comment. Remember to comment about something specific. Rather than writing ‘I really liked your post,’ you could write ‘I really liked your vivid description of the theme park, it made me feel like I was there.’
Tip #3: Add New Facts
If you know something about the topic, you can add more factual information in your comment.
Tip #4: Make a Connection
What does the post remind you of? Try to make a connection to yourself, to the world or to another text. For example, you could write ‘your post reminded me of when I went to Waterbom two years ago.’
Tip #5: End with a Question
Try to start a conversation. Ask the blogger a relevant question and hopefully they will reply.
Tip # 6: Proofread Your Comment
When you blog, many people may be reading your posts and comments, so it is very important to proofread.

Jasper's Research
An ancient game
Gladiators had fights between criminals or animals or other gladiators. Fights took place in arenas like the Colosseum in Rome, which could hold 50,000 people. That’s 15,000 more than the Wellington stadium!
Gladiators had battles with many different animals, often as warm up games before main battles.
Animals included:
- lions
- tigers
- bears
- snakes
- panthers
- giraffes
- crocodiles
- elephants
Animals and humans
Animals and humans both use play to learn how to work together and to make friends. They both learn new things by playing.
Toys from the past and today
Toys from the past
some toys from the past :
- kites
- puppets
Kites are thought to be invented in China over 2,000 years ago. The maori people also made kites like this bird kite.
Some puppet shows in Indonesia would go all day and all night.
