PGS Triumphs in the Kids' Lit Quiz

by Eleanor Pritchard

On Tuesday, 20th November, four Year 8 pupils and four Year 7 pupils went to Seaford College in Sussex to compete in the Kid's Lit Quiz 2018. In the first round, Portsmouth Grammar 1 (Year 8) won with a total of 10/10, which put us in the lead! Round after round, Portsmouth Grammar 1 stayed in the lead, with Portsmouth Grammar 2 (Year 7) in close second. After 10 rounds, everyone was excited to find out who had won. At last it was time to see who had won; in third place was Westbourne House, in second place was Portsmouth Grammar 2 and in first place was Portsmouth Grammar 1! 

This means Portsmouth Grammar 1 are going to represent the South of England at the National Quiz in London on Tuesday 4th of December. The winner of this quiz will go to the international quiz in Singapore!

Thanks to Mrs Bell for organising and taking us on the trip, we all enjoyed it and would recommend it to any Year 7s and 8s to take part in future.

Fingers crossed for the 4th.
