A huge congratulations to Emma and Cameron who competed today in the Middle School Spelling Bee! It was a tough challenge with Emma coming 2nd and Cameron coming 3rd!Cameron Says - I was really nervous. We had to spell really hard words like scientist and knight.
Emma Says - We had to write our answer on a little whiteboard and when Miss Hammond said "Stop" we had to turn our boards around. Mrs Wihongi then came along and gave us a teddy bear if it was wrong in the first round. If you got 2 teddies you were out! In the second round the first person to collect 5 bears for getting the words right won. I had to spell word like ache, knight and wardrobe . They were hard and got some wrong.
