Congratulations to our three competitiors in the first preliminary for this year's annual spelling bee - and an extra-special congratulations to Starri who came a very commendable 4th out of the 18 competitors. The practice rounds gave the children a gentle lead in and then they were faced with some very challenging words. They are permitted to ask for a meaning and for the word to be used in a sentence to aid the process of understanding and, thus, to aid their ability to spell the words. Our admiration goes to them all - spelling words that you don't know would be a challenge for the best adult spellers too! Well done, also, to the 3 winners, from Savannah Primary and Montessori by the Sea, who will go through to the finals in December.
