On Wednesday 6th July, the Yr 7 & 8s went to the Extra! Spelling Quiz at Timaru Boys High. The two Dorie Teams were Annabel, Olivia & Zabina, and Kate, Thea & Joseph.
The questions included fixing spelling, spelling words, mystery words, and other challenging questions.
Some of the tricky spelling words were words like raucous and synagogue - did you know how to spell them?
Team One of Dorie (Olivia, Annabel, Zabina) scored 84%, and Team Two (Kate, Thea, Joseph) scored 83%.
It was very much enjoyed by the Two teams of Dorie and the parents and teachers enjoyed it too.
A competition about Current Events will be coming up as well and Mrs T is keen on entering us in as well.
We would love to go next year and maybe that time we could go for gold and get that gold medal...

You all did a great job! I had a hard time trying to spell all the words there (as I'm sure you can all imagine!)

I Really enjoyed going to the spelling quiz my favourite one was the dictionary one where we had to find the definition and the page number. Really enjoyed going with Annabel and Olivia. It was really exciting.
