Quizbrain 2016

June 30th, 2016

We had a hotly contested Quizbrain competition this year. Children from 3rd to 6th classes competed in four rounds of questioning to find out the top 20 children who then qualified for the semi-finals. After two rounds of semi finals, Rafew, Dylan, Matthew, Rachel and Colin qualified for the grand final which took place on Wednesday afternoon. All five finalists entered to halla to rousing reception, each finalist bringing many supporters with them. After five tricky rounds of questions, Dylan Coughlan came out on top, holding off constant pressure from Rafew and a late surge from Colin.

Before the winner was announced, the whole school had the pleasure of attending a fantastic presentation from Jack and Lee on their Titanic project. They put great work into their powerpoints and their presentation skills. The Titanic model they created could bring any teacher on a summer cruise with less of a chance of sinking than the original model!!

It was also announced that the White team were victorious in our Sports For all day and they nearly raised the roof off the school when they heard their good news!!

Congratulations Dylan, the other four finalists, Jack, Lee and all the White team!!
