Spelling Bee 
Next July, we will be looking for children to represent St Joseph's at the Bishop Wheeler Catholic Academy Trust Annual Spelling Bee.
Each half term until then, we will be teaching the spelling patterns for your child’s year group, but in addition we will be including an extra 20 words which will form part of the competition. Assessment will be ongoing. Children have already received certificates for accelerated progress as well as for attaining full marks in the first half term, out of these 20 words.
To help your child on their journey to spelling success, we are asking that you support your child with learning all their spellings. The full list for the year is listed below.
The children who took part last year thoroughly enjoyed visiting SS Peter and Paul and competing against their peers. The benefits of the competition will be to improve spelling but also to further develop the character traits of perseverance, resilience, and determination, as well as providing rewards for hard work.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support
