Tried my best to equalise teams with skill level
Anyway, this is a temporary group, this group will be used for internal friendly competitions and word list tests
Note: Take note of the number allocated to you on the right of your name,
During internal competitions, the number you are given MUST always play against the other group's member with the equivalent of yours (Example: your number allocated is 3, you HAVE to play against the 3 of the opposing group)
Work hard for your group so that ALL of you will get prizes

Thanks,
Ze Ming and Nicholas Lee

Scrabble Update

Dear Scrabblers


Ms Leng Would Be Organising Internal Els Scrabble Competitions And Games That Would Be Played During Cca Hours. Most Of These Games/Competitions Are Orientated Towards Word Lists. You Will Be Playing/Competing In Groups Of Equal Strengths. There Are Also Attractive Prizes To Be Won. The Competitions Aim To Build A Stronger Friendship In The Els, Unlock Your Full Potential In Scrabble And At The Same Time Encourage Scrabblers To Learn Their Words To Win The Competition(Especially Sec 1 To Learn Their 2 Letters). Your Groups Will Be Announced Shortly
Cheers,

Good Luck On The Competition And Start Learning Your Words Now!!

On Behalf Of Nicholas Lee

Scrabble Word Test

Dear Scrabblers,
I hope you enjoyed the break because of the NAPFA test, and kudos to those who stayed back to practice, please continue to work hard towards the upcoming competition on 12 April and 20 April

Please take note there will be a 2 letter word test soon (most likely going to be on this Friday training session)
You should have ample time to memorise these words
The test will be given before you guys play any game, Sec 1s just have to know 95% or 117 words (+-1 maybe) for the rest of the seniors 124/124 done
Those who fail the test will have to copy 2 letter words and retest the next training day, if fail retest then double the amount of copying of 2 letter words

I expect you guys to work very, very hard for this competition, we have 10 days
All lower secondary students are invited to join our recess training at the canteen end

Thanks,
Ze Ming XD

CCA Update

Dear All (especially Scrabblers),

Please note that ELS Meeting for tomorrow will be suspended due the large number of members, half the membership, involved in the NAPFA.  

Mr Adrian Tay(Our Scrabble Coach) will not be coming.  The training session will be postponed to 9 April

Students from secondary 1 and 3 who are not involved in NAPFA may use the Exam Rooms and sign out scrabble sets for practice.

Note that it is not an official training session and attendance will not be taken.

Thanks,

Ze Ming
