Extension Activities at Tahuna

Lit Quiz, Extra Spelling, Classics and Current Events - there is something for anyone at Tahuna who is looking to extend themselves a bit further.

For many years Tahuna has proudly sent teams to regional and also national quiz events which are designed to extend intermediate and secondary students. 

We are currently underway preparing for the Otago Lit Quiz which is on the 9th of March at DNI. The Lit Quiz is based on popular children's and young adult fiction and includes 10 sections based on components of books.

Next term we have the Extra Spelling Quiz - held at Tahuna - where students compete against (often 40+ other) teams from around Otago on Spelling, word puzzles and dictionary skills.

In term three, first we have the Otago Classics competition at the University - where teams compete to answer questions on Roman and Greek Mythology and ancient life. Then we have the Extra Current Events quiz at Bathgate - where students answer questions based on big events throughout the year and material published in the Otago Daily Times Extra! Magazines.

It is not all about hard work though! These quizzes are designed to be fun to participate in as well as challenging and there are always spot prizes up for grabs.

If this sounds like something your child would be interested in they can come and see me (Miss Brawley) in Room 8 to register their interest. Quizzes are also mentioned at assembly and in the daily notices.
