Next week, we will be changing the way in which the spelling bee runs, in that there will no longer be a timed element to the answering of the spelling words. Each group will have the time to write down the word that has been read out, and once each team has had a go at spelling the word, we will then award a point to each team that has spelt the word correctly. I have attached below the rules that we will be working on during the spelling bee next week: Spelling Bee Round 5 25th February 2026
