The air was buzzing with anticipation as each team comprising of students from Grades III, IV and V took their places on the lovely ‘Bee’ themed stage designed by our Art\u00a0 Department. The Expert Team was well-prepared to help out\u00a0 when called upon.<\/p>\r\n

Team 1: Honey Bees:\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\r\n

Team 2: Super Bees:\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Team 3: Bumble Bees: \"\"<\/p>\r\n

Cheered on by their supporters in the audience, our super spellers commenced Round 1 of the Spelling Bee with a Rapid Fire round with spellings from their readers.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"\u00a0 \"\"\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\r\n

The suspense built up further in Round 2 which consisted of The Wheel of Anagrams where students were given a set of letters from which they had to form words consisting of a minimum of 3 letters. Our teams worked diligently on their anagrams, using all the space they could as they rushed to fill out their answer sheets with all the words they could make.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\r\n

It was suddenly the final Rapid Fire Round of unseen spellings. The air was scented with anticipation and each team was determined to win. As the words got more difficult several of the young spellers used their helplines to ask for assistance from the Expert Team.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Then, it was time for the scores. With a thudding heart, our teams turned to the scoreboard to check their scores. It was amazing to see that all of our young spellers had done so well.
