Here’s a special announcement!
As some of you may know, the ‘Edublogs Awards ‘ were today (15th of December) and I was very eager to watch. I prepared at school, and then got ready to watch the announcements live online! I was waiting because I set up so early, and was in the chat room talking to everyone.
Then at 11:00, it started! The announcers (people who ran the award) were talking through their microphones so we could hear them. There were 19 categories and they went through category by category, starting with…
Congratulations to Tech With Intent who won, and all the other nominees. At the end of their speech, they went on to the next category, which was…
This was my class blog’s, ‘Clairvaux Connects‘ blog, and this was the one that Mrs. N was excited for. The finalists were-
2KM And 2KJ @ Leopold Primary School,
Mr. Buxton’s 5th Grade Class SAS,
Mrs. Yollis’ 3rd Grade Class Blog,
St. Wolstan’s Transition Year Blog and..
Mr. Salsich’s Class. So Clairvaux didn’t get in. But that was okay, because we still had one chance left. Me!
Congratulations to Mrs. Yollis’ 3rd grade class blog for coming first.
Then there was the most exciting category of all-
I was really nervous, as this was the category that I was in.
The finalists appeared on the screen. Their names were…
Jaden’s Blog and….
MY BLOG!
I was literally jumping up and down, but then I realised that I still had to find out who won. My hands were shaking, my knees knobbling, and my heart beating at 100 miles an hour.
The winner was…
JADEN’S BLOG!
Congratulations Jaden 
I wasn’t that disappointed that I lost, because I had achieved so much. In under 6 months of blogging, I had been able to get so far. Most of these people have been blogging for a few years, so I was really proud of myself. I also got to make a thank you speech live online to the world!
I was awarded this badge to display on my blog. I also won a free 12 month Edublogs Pro subscription.
I added that picture to my sidebar, so now everyone will know!
The rest of the awards continued but I was too excited to watch them all.
Again congratulations to everyone! . . . and
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR ME AND TO MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR SUPPORT!
Stay Posted,
