Kids Lit Quiz Results
On Thursday 5th November the brains of the Junior School assembled in the Williams Hall to compete against 14 other schools from the North West in the International Literary Quiz ‘Kids Lit’. As this was an Under 13 years event most of the other teams contained pupils from Years 7 and 8 but our lads were completely undaunted. They displayed an impressively wide range of knowledge about all things bookish from Dr Seuss to Shakespeare. On their ‘joker’ round (The Classics) the boys achieved a remarkable 8/10 score, doubled up to 16 points. Later on in the competition Jonathan Corner – the youngest member (Y5) – earned the team a book each as they won that round in a tie break question against Kings’ School Macclesfield.
Unfortunately we did not do quite well enough to go on to the next round which will be held in Oxford or the finals in New Zealand, but the team can be proud of itself and actually scored more points the the Boys’ Year 8 team! (68.5/110)
Well done to: Thomas Cunliffe, Alex D’Arcy, George Johnston and Jonathan Corner. They all enjoyed themselves thoroughly and represented the Junior School with distinction.
