Senior Spelling Bee - Geordie Lindsay Wins with 'Reconnaissance'
Before half term, the Seniors competed in the Senior Spelling Bee in the New Hall in front of the whole school. In the judges' chairs were an emotional Mr Hodgetts and an excitable Mr Compton-Burnett who had to dig deep into their word lists to outfox the talented spellers competing; the standard continues to improve year on year. Some of the words spelt correctly this time around included: chrysanthemum, conscientious, auxiliary, philosophical, pterodactyl and vengeance.
