Lit Quiz Regionals!

By Madeline Hage-Sleiman

On Friday 24th June two teams of elite readers represented Tahuna at the Lit Quiz Otago Regional Final! 

In this quiz twenty-two teams of kids aged 8 -13 battle against each other by answering questions based on literary content, including classics, popular children's novels, nursery rhymes, picture books ect. There are ten rounds of ten questions that all have different categories. This year some of the categories were accidents, betrayals, animal rights and Elves. For example, one of the questions we were asked was “What is the gate that allows you to traverse space without the need of a spaceship?” The answer is of course “Stargate”.

It was a tight race but in the end the clear winner was Tahuna Team One with 79.5 points and Tahuna Team Two came in fourth, over all both teams have made Tahuna very proud. 

This is the third year in a row Tahuna has won the Otago regionals and the second year we will be representing Otago at Nationals.

On June 16 the winning Tahuna team will be heading off to Wellington where we will compete in the NZ nationals. We can't wait!

Big congrats to both Tahuna teams for making Tahuna proud this year.
