Learn-a-thon

On Friday last week we did the learn-a-thon. The seniors had to do 50 questions, the middles had to do 50 questions as well and the juniors had to do 20 questions.
In room12 everyone did really well. There was 2 people that got 50/50 and that was Jaime and Justice but everyone else tried really hard and did really well.

Here is a sneak peek on some questions that the seniors did...

Question: Which NZ cricketer recently conquered MT Everest?
Answer: Adam Parore

Question: What group of people built the sphinx?
Answer: the Egyptians

So congratulations to all those children that tried their best in the learn-a-thon!
