Thank you to those of you who have already signed up to the Twitter service, I have received notification from several of you that wish to follow the Twitter stream. For the obvious security reasons, I won’t be able to approve your requests until I receive the written confirmation of your username from your child. Fortunately, I’m recognising all the names so far so I know which children to pester for slips!

If you haven’t yet signed up yet, please do as we hope it will be a really useful way of keeping informed about the trip – both before and during the week we are away.

Don’t worry if you’ve lost the information from the meeting – there’s a link on the post below this and you can send your username via your child’s diary.

I’ll be providing more helpful tips for using Twitter, including how to set up your phone to receive tweets as texts, over the coming weeks.

Hello all, and welcome to the Isle of Wight blog for 2010! A “blog” for those who don’t know  is short for ”web log” – basically, this will be an updated scapbook of news, pictures and information for this year’s trip.

It’s not too long to go now until the trip. Preparations are being made and we are having our meeting for parents tonight at 6.30 in the South Hall – please attend as this will be your chance to ask us any questions (this applies to adults and the pupils!).

As well as this blog which will be updated daily whenever possible, I have set up a Twitter feed. I shall be speaking about this at the meeting tonight, but if you are unable to attend, please see this letter to help out with setting up a Twitter account of your own (and the reasons why you should).

See you tonight!

Mr. Barnes
