08 Bright Sparks

On Tuesday 1st July the Stage 2 classes had a spelling competition to select two students to represent our school in the Premier’s Spelling Bee later on this year. Each class had their own competition and selected the two best spellers. Then the best two spellers from each class competed against each other. We had the final competion in the hall. Six students sat in chairs in front of the Stage 2 audience. Our teacher read out each word and the students had to spell the word aloud. At the end of 5 rounds we had 2 winners, but it was a very close competition.

This week we have been very busy witing our storyboards to go with the movies we created using Movie Maker.  We made a checklist with our teacher to make sure that our storyboards had all the necessary parts and were written neatly with correct spelling and punctuation. Now the storyboards are finished we are going to use Audacity to record our written text, add music and then upload our narrations into our movies. Some very clever Bright Sparks have finished their digital stories already. They can be seen on our class wiki under the Digital Stories link.
