Last Thursday, the hall crackled with fierce determination from the very first round of the Year 8 House Spelling Bee, hosted by Miss Flower. The increasingly tricky rounds included the challenging reverse round, in which words were spelt backwards! In a dramatic tie break duel between Galsworthy and Olive, each team refused to blink as the words got tougher and the stakes climbed higher. It was fast. It was intense. It was everything a spelling showdown should be. Well done to everyone who participated, and congratulations to the winning team, Olive (Lucian and Kaan).
