On Friday the 31st of January, 2014, 5th and 6th class took part in the first St Peter’s Spelling Bee. The competition involved getting a word from the easy list in the first round, the medium list in the second round and the hard list in the final round. Whenever we spelled one of our words wrong, we were out. We could get the word in a sentence to help us, and in the final round, we could also get the definition. The last two left standing was Jamie from 6th, and me. We were trying to win at the knockout stages for about 15 minutes. In the end, I won. I am going to the Regional Finals next!
By Ian Lawless, 6th class.
