At the Kids\u2019 Lit Quiz, questions were challenging, but we had loads of fun. The maxi taxi started our day by driving us to Moriah College, Waverly. We were greeted by students, junior and senior, who guided us to the hall in which the competition was held. Our first task for the day was to pick our double points round. Once we had chosen, the competition commenced. The topic that started our quiz was ‘animal rights\u2019. Once we completed round 1, we had to give our result sheet to the runners. From there, our answers were given to the scorers who tallied up our points. Each round was worth 10 points – if you get all the questions right – which was not guaranteed. The topics were animal rights, bad characters, bears, riddles, big cats, bridges, characters from mythology, confectionery, gates and residences. <\/span>Overall, we had an amazing time filled with laughter and joy. <\/b>We are proud of our teams, and one of them came third!<\/span><\/p>\n
