Winners:Second phase of the WWF – Pakistan’s Nation-wide Spellathon 2011.

Young Students from around 25 schools participated in the spelling Contest held at Dawood Public School, organised by WWF.
The theme this year was water hence the contest included questions regarding water pollution,water conservation and floods. The theme was in accordance with the crisis the country is currently facing and the was meant to enhance vocabulary, spelling skills of students along with creating awareness amongst these little angels.

Express Reports:

The winners of the first phase came from Beaconhouse School System, Foundation Public School, Army Public School, Dawood Public School, Haq Academy, Falcon House Grammar School, The Pinnacle School, DA Shaikh Ziauddin School, DA Neelum High School, Clifton School, Karachi Grammar School, Lahore Grammar School among others. They came to participate in the second phase.
Each student was given a spellathon pack to prepare for the event. Each pack contained carefully crafted, innovative and child friendly compendiums and stationery, designed by the WWF for grades one till nine. Each student was also given a test paper with word puzzles. They had to fill in the missing letters or arrange the letters properly to spell the words.
Kanza Memon, a student of Beaconhouse School System, was a little disappointed. “I did not know the spelling of zooplankton,” she said. “I spelt it ‘zooplanckton’ in the paper.”
She was afraid that her friends might have performed better because she did not give enough time to studying for the competition because of her tests and exams.
