AN AUTUMN GREETING
"Come" said the wind to the leaves one day.
"Come over the meadow and we will play
Put on your dresses of red and gold.
For summer is gone and the days grow cold.



August is gone and the new school year is now opening. This year you'll start your own Learning Blog, a digital portfolio. Blogging is writing, reading, recording, searching for information and most importantly, sharing. Sharing your views and experiences with the world,  as well as participating and learning from others.
We definetely think that you'll have a great time and perhaps you may change the world for good.

Enjoy ;)
