In Week 4, as it is Maths Week during Lunchtime we will be running a Maths Spellathon daily.

Guidelines :

1. Participants are requested to learn the pronunciations, definitions and other details of the words while studying them.

2. Some words have alternate pronunciations. It is good to know all pronunciations of the word while preparing for the competition.

3. Participants are encouraged to take time, think and spell the word.

5. The Speller may ask for the following details about the word:

 Definition of the word  Use the word in a sentence  Pronounce the word again

The Competition will start with the Study list of easy words and progress towards the hard word list as needed.

Rules:

If the speller correctly spells the word, he/she remains in the competition.

If the speller does not spell the word correctly, he/she will return to the audience.

Each speller remaining at the start of a round spells one word in each round.

There is no time limit for a speller to spell the word.

The speller can ask questions related to the word as per the guidelines provided

A speller should say the word before and after spelling the word as this helps the judges, but a speller will not be disqualified for failing to do so.

The Ara Pakeke List can be found below.
