- Blogs
- Not sure how everyone is getting on with the blogging. I know there were issues for some people when we started but we'll see if can sort them out when we're back.#
- Pottermore
- Check out this new website. Click Here
- Add me on it so I can see how you're getting on: CentaurPotion9849
- My username is a bit silly but its generated for safety. This is what we discussed in class before we set up our blogs.
- Add each other and explore the online Harry Potter world.
Science
- Seeds Challenge
- Don't worry if you are having problems with the seeds. I think it was a bit silly of the John Innes centre to give us the seeds before the holidays. I doubt many other schools have been very successful.
- It would be great to see how you have got on. Show me your blog or comment on this post.
- PS I have a confession: I left my seed at school. Oops! It would have died anyway because I've been away for two weeks so I'm not too bothered.
