OLA teams from Years 6 and 7 took part in the Oxfordshire and Berkshire heat of the international Kids’ Lit Quiz (KLQ) in Oxford.
The teams worked hard to answer 10 rounds of 10 questions on subjects as diverse as Foxes and Characters from Legend. None of the themes or questions was known in advance, and there was serious concentration and quiet conferring when the questions were being read out.
The event was opened by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, with the Chairman of Oxfordshire County Council and the Mayor of Wallingford also present for the whole quiz. 10 children’s authors also played the quiz (though their scores didn’t count of course!). Although OLA didn’t win, they played with zeal; over 40 school teams took part. The winning team plays against the other regional winners in the KLQ National Final in London this week.
Well done to our team members for their enthusiasm – when it comes to reading , everyone’s a winner!
