Somos los Campeones

Several Year 7 students from the Humphrey Perkins School competed in a Trust-wide Modern Foreign Language Spelling competition in June.

The eager, but nervous students, had been working towards this event for many weeks; sacrificing their lunchtimes to practice with teachers as well as working tirelessly at home.  

The competition required the students to spell a selection of Spanish words; they acquired points for getting the word correct and for being first, therefore speed and accuracy were essential. 

The children held their nerve, though, and were duly named school champions in Spanish; bien hecho!  

Upon returning to the school, the victorious students proudly showed their impressive haul of medals and a superb trophy. 

Associate Principal, Mrs Bartram quickly found the perfect spot to display the school’s newly acquired silverware, so that students, staff and visitors could share in the joy of this outstanding achievement.
