Room 5 Class Spelling Bee


Over the next few weeks you will need to be practicing their spelling bee lists. At the end of week 4 on the 7th of November the spelling bee test will be given. We have also added in a donation part of learning the words. This is purely for our class only. A donation sheet will be sent home with each leveled spelling list. If you do not want to use the donation sheet that is fine it is not compulsory. Please refer to the donation sheet for more instructions. 


One strategy you can use to learn your words is it to access http://www.spellingcity.com/.. You do not need a login or password for this site you can just put your words in and go. There are lots of different ways to practice on the site, so have fun and explore. 

On completion of the test you will receive a certificate and you will need to gather up any donation money you have raised and bring it along to school. We will then donate it to either Kids Can or Unicef.
