Blogging Competition

Room 5 and Room 6 are having a race to see 

which class blog can register the most visitors 

and 

the biggest number of countries that the visitors come from.


On our class blogs we have a globe which counts the countries 

and a counter to keep track of the page visitors.

We will update the scores each week on the class blogs.


Click through the slides to see our scores from this week.

  1. Mōrena Room 5. I am Leyla from Saint Mary's school.
    I enjoyed reading about your class competitions!
    I learnt that you can scan the QR code with a phone and see all the blogs.
    Maybe next time you could explain more about what the prize is and how many weeks you will be doing this for!

    I really enjoyed reading your blog and the competition that you and Room 6 created.
    I learnt that you can scan the QR code on smartphones to see all their blog posts.
    Maybe you could tell us more about the prize or did you even have a prize for the winning team.
