Kids Lit Quiz

On the 14th of May 2019, I went down to Saint Patrick's with some other Grey Main students to compete in the yearly Kids Lit Quiz competition. The Kids Lit Quiz is a literature competition where there are questions on books from the last 200 years. There are ten categories, each with ten questions. Our school put three teams of four in the competition, with three reserves, one for each team. I was in a team with Reagan, Billie-Jean and Emily. We were Grey Main Green Team. We put our Joker (a joker is when you put double points on a category) the category Princesses. In the end all of the Grey Main teams had won at least one category, so we all had $5 because if you win a category you get money! Here is the final outcome overall:

1st: Paroa Bronze Team-79 points out of 100.
2nd: Grey Main Turquoise-77 points out of 100.
3rd: Grey Main Green-73 points out of 100.

If you came 1st you got $1000 to go towards flights for the finals. If you came second you got $20 and if you came third (my team) you got $10.  Since Paroa won, they will be going to the New Zealand Finals and if they win that, they go to the WORLD finals representing New Zealand.
