2017年11月7日，对上海燎原双语小学一年级的同学们来说，是非常棒的一天。来自一年级双语班的前三名学生为了夺得拼写大赛的冠军进行了激烈的角逐。

Nov 7th was a g-r-e-a-t day for the grade 1 spellers. The top three students from grade 1 bilingual class went head-to-head for the chance to be Grade 1 Spelling Champion.

在赛前的准备中，学生们有一周的时间来练习比赛的单词。其中*括初级学习者所需掌握的前100个单词。各个班级在周一先举行了一次小型比赛，选出三名代表参加最后的比赛。

To prepare for this, the students were given one week to practice the words for the competition. The words consisted of the first 100 sight words needed for beginner readers. On Monday, each class had a mini competition to choose the best three who would compete in the final competition.

学生们从拼写两个字母的单词，循序渐进到三个和四个字母的单词。决赛中要求拼出的单词是：which、these和words，最终的获奖者分别是：**名Chris Yu(G1-5)，第二名Yoyo Fang(G1-1)，第三名 Angela Li(G1-4)。

Students begun the competition with spelling two letter words, then moved up to three and four letter words heading into the finals. The final words spelt were: which, these and words, and the winners were: 1st place = Chris Yu (class 5), 2nd place = YoYo Fang(class 1) and 3rd place = Angela Li (class 4).

看到这么多一年级学生的热情参与，我们也更期待下一次的比赛了。同学们都期待下一次自己能取得更好的名次，纷纷表示今后会更加努力学习他们的英语拼写。

It was amazing to see so many keen spellers in grade 1 and we look forward to the next one. Many students are already thinking about how they can win next time and they pledge to work hard on their spelling.
