Olivia's Learning Diary

Welcome to my learning diary This is a blog that I will keep updating you with the stuff I've been learning in Room 8 2011 . The reason why we blog is because why , Why just keep your writing in a book? If it is in a book only you and your teacher can see it or on the odd occasion you take your book home and your parents can see it. But on the blog you can let the world see it and get comments on what you need to work on and what you done well instead of just the teacher's comments .
