On Monday 2nd July, we held a Litcham Cluster Book Quiz at the Secondary phase site and had a brilliant time. Teams of four students from Years 5/6, from each of the cluster primaries, a team of teachers and Year 7 students, battled it out over nine rounds of book-related questions for the LCBQ Cup. The rounds of questions ranged from Wizards to bears, numbers to nursery rhymes and fictional places to picture books. The primary students were very impressive in their literary knowledge, and I think we are going to have some very keen readers in year 7 this year.
Congratulations to Great Massingham who came first, for the second time in a row, thrashing both the teacher and Year 7 team. Close behind them in second place were Harpley and in third place were Litcham. Well done to all the students for participating really well in a nail-biting and exciting competition. You all represented your primary schools superbly!
Thank you to the following students who helped to run the event: Liberty, Isla Palmer, Olivia, Emily, Benjamin and George. Also to the year 7 team: Leo A, Leo B, Hannah and Harriet. The primary school staff were all very impressed with you. A big thank you also goes to the Friends of Litcham School who purchased book tokens for the winning team.
This is an annual event, so Year’s 4 and 5 start reading widely now and let’s see if we can beat the teachers again next year!
