Kids’ Lit Quiz heats
Heats to win a place in the school's two teams for the Oxfordshire Heat of the Kids' Lit Quiz are currently taking place in the Library.
The Kids' Lit Quiz (KLQ) is an international annual literature competition, where teams of four students, from Years 7 & 8, work together to answer wide-ranging literary questions. The winning team from each region competes in the national final, which will be at the Seven Stories: The Centre for Children's Books, Newcastle-upon-Tyne on 4 December.
Each school can arrange their own preliminary heats as they wish, using a set of pre-test questions taken from past competitions and supplied by Wayne Mills, the KLQ Quizmaster.
The KLQ came from New Zealand three years ago, where it is HUGE! The competition has been running for over 15 years and is fully sponsored and the Final is televised. The KLQ is the brainchild of the hugely entertaining Wayne Mills, who also happens to be a Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Auckland.
Wayne Mills will be arriving shortly in the UK to compere all the 16 UK heats plus the Final, and inviting the UK Winners to join the World Final in New Zealand in June 2007.
For more information about the Kids' Lit Quiz see the KLQ website.
