Year 3 Book Quiz for Brooke Weston Trust Primary Schools
Year 3 Book Quiz for Brooke Weston Trust Primary Schools – took place on Weds 11th March.
A team of four children from each of the six BWT primary schools came together for the annual Year 3 book quiz.
In January, the children were presented with books by the award-winning children’s author Pamela Butchart - each school were given a different book of hers to read. The children in all six schools were also given the book, Saving Sorya: Chang and the Sun Bear.
Each school selected a team of four avid readers to represent their school.
The quiz consisted of three rounds:
- Round 1 – The Individual School Round
Questions were based on each school’s exclusive book. - Round 2 – The Trust Primary Book Round
Questions were based on the beautiful book: Saving Sorya: Chang and the Sun Bear and this was a buzzer round which the children were very enthusiastic about. - Round 3 – General Knowledge on children’s literature
This round consisted of twenty questions about children’s classics, including familiar books they will have been exposed to in their journey through BWT primary schools.
The event was an exciting celebration of reading and learning and the children showed excellent knowledge of the books they had focused on, as well as a great general knowledge of a wide range of children’s literature. All the children showed fantastic teamwork and their enthusiasm for books and reading was fantastic - they were all wonderful ambassadors for their schools.
Congratulations to the winning team from Gretton Primary School who scored 39 points overall. Second place was a joint win for Oakley Vale, Thrapston and Beanfield who all achieved 34 points.
Thank you to Nicole Andrews for reading all the books to set the questions and for organising the event alongside Jane MacDonald. A great day was had by all!
