Spelling Bee
There will be a ‘Spelling Bee’ competition on 6.3.17. There will be two competitions, one for Year 3 and 4 children and a
separate competition for the Year 5 and 6 children. If your child would like to take part, then the words they will need to
be able to spell will come from the lists below. Please let your class teacher know on Monday 27.2.17, whether you would like
to take part. There is a book voucher worth £10 for the two worthy winners.
