Kid’s Lit Quiz
On Friday 8th June, Miss Thompson took 16 pupils to Chantry in Morpeth during lunch. This was for a ‘friendly’ literacy quiz with schools around Newcastle. It was held in Chantry Middle School’s hall.
There were loads of tables set out for each team which was made up of 4 pupils. The topics allowed the questions to be based upon a whole range of different books: forests, woods and trees, terrifying teachers, Pictionary and shops. The Headteacher read out the questions which could focus on the authors or the events, places and characters from different books.

In order to keep the cogs of the brain turning we had been provided with a big tub of sweets that we tried to share around the table fairly!
Unfortunately, none of the GEMS’ teams came in the top three; however, one of our teams won a round so they got to choose any book from a wide variety of the best sellers.
We arrived back to school at 5.00pm after a very worthwhile experience!
