We attended the Northern Ireland heat of the Lit Quiz which is run by the Quiz Master Wayne Mills, a New Zealander.  He travels the world to promote reading for pleasure and literacy. This is the link: https://www.kidslitquiz.com/home.php.

Thank you to Wellington College for hosting us and Miss Tanja Jennings for organizing this amazing event!

The competition was really tough but we placed in the top 10. We won 2 rounds and we scored 69/100. Congratulations!

Sophia Boyle won the 1st prize in the Japanese Manga poster competition. Well done Sophia!
