06 Apr KS3 Spelling Bee
Grand Finale
Over the past few weeks, form classes have been working on literacy skills in preparation for our yearly ‘JRCS Spelling Bee’ championships. Competition was fierce from the outset this year as students in Years 7-9 fought to become their class champion and progress on to the year-group finals. Last Friday lunchtime, each form champion competed until we had a winner from each year group who would move on to the live final. Najeeb Ahmed (Year 9) was heading for a hat trick this year (after spelling his way to the top in the previous two years’ championships), and his strength in spelling was clear from the get-go. The live final, in front of the whole of KS3 in assembly on Tuesday, was a tense affair. Iteli Mulumba Ntambwa (Year 7), Shannon Woodhouse (Year 8) and Najeeb Ahmed (Year 9) faced the crowd with confidence but, alas, Najeeb’s knowledge of phonetics was too strong.
Well done Najeeb, three-in-a-row!
Who will take the c-r-o-w-n next year?
