So, well done to Pui Mun from 8S who entered one of my favourite words, ‘quixotic’<\/span><\/strong>. Her sentence – the idea of it just seemed so quixotic<\/em>– has earned her five house points for Sapi and first place in the competition this week.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In second place we have Annabella from 9K with her entry ‘vociferous’<\/span><\/strong>. Her timely sentence –he was vociferous in his support of the President<\/em> – has earned Sapi another four house points!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lastly, we have Kaiyisah from 9S with the adjective ‘eccentric’<\/span><\/strong>. ‘The boy noted her eccentric appearance<\/em>‘ has secured her third place in this weeks competition as well as three well-deserved house points for Sulug.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well done to all our finalists and we are all looking forward to seeing if anyone can top these winning words next week!<\/div>\n
