INTRA RPS Spell Bee Competition

“Spelling is important because it aids in cementing the connection that is shared between sounds and letters.”In the time and age of auto-correct, predictive text and spell check, the Intra RPS Spell- Bee competition for Grade III students held at RPS International School, Sector-50, Gurugram on 30th November, 2019 came as a whiff of fresh breeze. The competition commenced by the lighting of the ceremonial lamp by Dr. Pavitra Rao-Chairperson, RPS Group of Schools, School Principal and the Headmistress. Students from 8 branches of RPS participated with great enthusiasm and dueled through the toughest words to prove their mettle. The competition consisted of 6 rounds. The rounds included Word Drill, Magic of Phonic Sounds, Visual Extravaganza, Guess the Word, Pronounce it Right and One Word Wonder. All rounds of the Spell Bee held the audience ‘spellbound’, with almost all of the 16 participants spelling most of the words correctly.  Even the toughest words were spelt with unflinching ease by the spelling wizards. Their efforts and initiative was appreciated by one and all.The Chief Guest, Dr. Pavitra Rao was superlative in her appreciation as despite the fact that the competition was held for the first time for Primary Wing, the tiny tots had excelled and done themselves proud. She emphasized on the fact that reading and keeping an eye out for new words always help enhance the vocabulary bank of the students.
