KIDS LIT QUIZ

Garth Powell —

On Friday two teams of four represented ETS at The Kids Lit Quiz held at Dunedin North Intermediate. They were up against teams from across Dunedin and wider Orago, most of them Years 7 and 8. We did really well, coming 3rd and 5th in the Year 5 / 6 category. The children were great ambassadors of our values, particularly resilience as the questions were challenging. Each of the ten rounds had themes that included Animals, Baddies, Body Parts and Construction. Luckily we had some Harry Potter, Roald Dahl and Wimpy Kid experts among us. Ka pai teams, we are proud of your efforts.

“The best round was humour. The questions were easy and we nearly got the whole round right.” - Hannah J

“At first I was nervous, but then after we got going I could focus in on the questions. My favourite round was the animal round - we got 9/10 in that round.” - Cooper R

“I enjoyed the extra questions when we were waiting for them to get marked - some kids won spot prizes. It was a good way to collaborate together and learn new things” - Angus Shaw and Ryker M
