Tomas qualified with 12 other year 2 students for a spelling bee. A real one! The kids were on stage in front of the rest of the stage 2 students.

Tomas did so well! There were 5 kids including Tomas fighting for third place – all were equally matched. The kids all spelt the level 2 words correctly, so the teacher jumped to level 3 words, and none of the kids could get those right. So after about 5 rounds, they finally got a winner. Tomas lost out. He misheard the Aussie teacher ask him to spell: carnivore – he heard carnival!

We were so proud of our son, being confident on stage, and keeping his emotions together at the end. How much he’s grown!
