On Wednesday night, we had 8 year 5 and 6 students participate in the annual Lit Quiz contest hosted at Berkley Normal Middle School. Wayne, the quizmaster, asked questions and they were put in different categories. There were 55 teams, mostly year 7 & 8, but some primaries too, each with four people. When Wayne asked a question you would write down your answer. At the end of each round he would give you the answers. 

There were 10 rounds. Each round had 10 questions and the questions were really hard. At the end of each round there were two random questions, one for the audience and one for the contestants. You had to shoot up your hand and whoever got the answer right would get 5 or 10 dollars in cash. At half time we went outside for a snack for 15 minutes.

The first round was about mythology which both our teams chose as our double point round. The double points round is when you choose one round and in that round they double the amount of points you get. The mythology was quite hard. We thought it would be easy but turns out the ones that we thought were hard were easy and the ones we thought would be easy were hard.

There were 8 people in two groups and two reserves from each school. In HNS 1 from our school we had  Riley in room 8, Ariana in room 6, Elias in room 10 and Elodie in room 9. In group two there was Junelle in room 8, Rebecca in room 24, Emma S in room 22 and Charlotte A in room 10. The two reserves were Mikayla in room 7 and Charlotte S in room 8. 

We really enjoyed that evening. It was exciting and we had so much fun even if we didn’t get a major place.
