WORLD SPELLING DAY

Last Thursday the school celebrated World Spelling Day .

Pupils were invited to take part in a world spelling competition, in which they played online spelling games against children from other countries. The competition was fierce, both against pupils from other schools and within our school itself. Each pupil had 48 hours to play 100 games with each game lasting 60 seconds.

The winning form was 4R with 5736 points, closely followed by 6H with 5391 points.

There was great excitement when Yuri Konstantinidis briefly appeared on the World Hall of Fame for spelling, what a great achievement! Read the rest of this entry »
