On Thursday 26th February, 8 lucky Year 5 students were invited along to take part in the Haberdashers’ Adams annual Spelling Bee Competition!
Children took part in 6 rounds, all based on Spelling Rules that they have learnt throughout their time in Years 3 -5!
Round 1: Spelling Bee – Our Captain Webb Spelling Bees were tasked with correctly spelling 30 tricky words!
Round 2: The Beehive – A quick 8 minute round where children needed to find as many words as possible ensuring that they used the middle letter in all their words!
Round 3: Crossword – The teams were given clues to uncover words that were needed to fill in the crossword gaps… and ensure they spelt them correctly too!
Round 4: Anagrams – A difficult challenge but not for our spelling superstars! They needed to unscramble the letters to work out the answer to one-lined clues.
Round 5: Guess the word – Children read the challenging riddles to guess the mystery word.
Final Round: Escape room – The Spelling Detectives were asked to crack the 10 digit code by answering word related clues that were all to do with spelling.
The children had so much fun and Mrs Cottrell is so proud of their determination and effort! Well done!!
