Spelling bee
This half term we put our best spellers to the test in the College Spelling Bee!
year 7 & 8 spelling bee
Students practice their spellings weekly and the top spellers from each Literacy group took part in the qualifiers.
Following a tense qualifier, there was one representative from each college from Y7 & y8 taking part in the event to earn points for their colleges.
Students showcased some incredible spelling skills and and outstanding level of confidence.
Students had to listen to a range of very challenging words and spell them one by one on their clip boards before presenting their spelling to the judges.
