The Kimquestors with Wayne, the quizmaster
Members of Kimbolton School’s reading
group have been practising hard for the Central England heat of the Kids’ Lit
Quiz to excellent effect! The Kimquestors won the heat by a tight
margin whilst the Kimbookworms came a creditable 4th, just 2.5 marks behind the leaders.
The Kids’ Lit Quiz is a hugely popular
annual literature competition that spans 5 continents. Teams have to answer 100
questions on children’s literature divided into 10 weird and wonderful
categories such as Anatomy (What body part was the Pobble missing?) and Sea
Monsters (What kind of whale was Moby Dick?). Teams work collaboratively to
answer each question put to them by the New Zealand Quizmaster Wayne Mills.
Having beaten 22 teams from schools all
around the region, the Kimquestors now go on to the National Final to be held
in Oxford in December. There is a real determination to do well, not least
because the grand final will be in Auckland, New Zealand!
