Our 6th Annual Mini Lit Quiz will be held at Chantry on the afternoon of Friday, June 10th finishing at 4pm. This literary competition gives children who’ve always loved to read a chance to display their knowledge and win prizes for it!

Topics will be very wide-ranging and teams can expect questions on every type of fiction, including comic strips, picture books and the classics as well as current popular novels. There will be a Pictionary round and, as knowledge is acquired from reading, there may be a little general knowledge thrown in as well!

For the reply slip and more information click ‘continue reading’.

There will be 5 rounds of themed questions to be answered in teams. Between the rounds there will be opportunities for individual prizes to be won. The rules will be similar to those of the national competition.

Prizes of book tokens, books and £2 coins will be awarded respectively for:

• the overall winning team,
• the highest scoring round from each participating school
• inter round challenges

Nine schools from Northumberland, Durham and Tyne and Wear are participating this year and Newminster and Chantry will each be entering up to 4 teams.

If your child is in Years 6, 7 or 8 and keen to take part, please complete the reply slip below and return it to the School Office no later than Friday, May 27th.

Please note that teams will be filled on a ‘first come, first served basis’.
