Four year 8 students from Hampton Academy (Jack Metcalfe, Sara Haro Munoz, Adam Rutherford and Patrick Rutherford) will soon be representing the school in a ‘spell off´ against other schools in the borough.This exciting event in April will be the first of many rounds, with the final round culminating in a national event where only one school in the country takes home the ‘Spelling Bee´ Championship title and prize!
Please wish our students luck.
We will also be holding our own internal school event at the beginning of July where Wordsworth students compete against Conrad students. Trophies and other prizes will be awarded, but the main thing is that all students support and enjoy the interactive event.
Brave teachers will also be asked to take the microphone — we will post details of our spelling champion teacher in July.
It will be a fun and interactive way to finish a successful first year at Hampton Academy.
The below website is great for practising — there are fun spelling games and lots of helpful tips:
