Literacy Quiz 2009

What is the name of the man that demanded a baby?
Rumplestiltskin.

People were trying out for a literacy quiz that could get them to represent Mapua to compete against Nelson and Malborough Disrict schools. It was a very difficult task at school when we did tests to select the top four that could go to Nelson Intermediate. Lucky for me I sneaked through and was with the other three finalists, Nikau, Lucy S and Jessica.
At Nelson Intermediate School Mr Wayne Mills, the Quizmaster, gave us sets of category questions which we had to answer to get points. Every team got to choose a category that they could get double points on. In the end 3rd place was awarded to Waimea Intermediate 2, 2nd place was St Joseph's School and Fairhall School won it.

It was a new and challenging experience and I was glad to be a part of it.
