German Year 9 Spelling Bee Competition 2024

Special congratulations to Caitlyn Grayson who participated in this year’s Regional Competiton of the German Translation Bee in Peterborough on 5th June 2024. She was amongst the last 77 from 5020 entrants at the beginning of the competition. Well done!

Congratulation to Erin Bellamy, Lily McMenanim, Anna Stichbury, Georgia Whittey, Lizzie Morgans and Sienna Perry who practised hard and took part in the School competition as far as round 3.

Well done to all of our Year 9 German students, who have taken part in the Translation Bee competition this year. The competition is in 4 stages and began back in October 2023. Students had to translate as many sentences as possible in one minute, using a variety of structures and tenses. This was not easy and they showed real resilience and self- reliance to continue learning and practising in their own time.

Stage 1: Class Competition: present tense sentences

Stage 2: School Competition: present, past tense sentences

Stage 3: Eastern Regional Competition: present, past and future sentences

Stage 4: National Competition: present, past, future tenses plus modal auxilliaries
