Welcome!

Welcome to Marama 14's class blog!

Day one of school has been and gone….very quickly! 
It was great to meet each other and start 'Growing and Learning together'.
Have a look around our blog and see what interesting things you can find. There will be links to websites that can help you with your learning but the main reason we have a class blog is to share our learning and thoughts with each other in the online environment.

We'll talk about being SMART DIGITAL CITIZENS a lot over the next couple of weeks - you might know all about this already which is great.

I look forward to seeing and hearing your wonderful learning and thoughts on here soon!
Mrs Morgan.
