Today's heat ended dramatically when the fire alarm went off just as we finished awarding the prizes to the winners. It certainly cleared the hall quickly. The winning team was the Librarians but they were happy to just challenge today's teams so will not be going to the UK Final!! .
The winning quiz team though was Hamilton College 1.
Congratulations to:Dylan, Eva, Hannah and Sophie.
In second place was Glasgow Academy 2 and in third was also Glasgow Academy 1.
Well done to these schools. Our team of authors: Matt Cartney, Keith Charters, Kirkland Ciccone and Kathy Macphail came third. The banner competition was also won by Hamilton College. Thank you Kilsyth and Mr Boyle for another great heat.

About the Kids' Lit Quiz
The Kids' Lit Quiz is an annual quiz for students aged 10 - 13 years. Teams of four students, from Year 6, 7 and 8, are asked to answer 100 questions on children's literature divided into ten categories, which vary each year. Teams work collaboratively to answer each question put to them by the New Zealand Quizmaster Wayne Mills.
A school can enter up to two teams. There are 18 regional heats in the UK. The winning team from each region competes in the National Final which in 2014 will be held at Kings' College School Wimbledon, London. The overall UK winning team will be invited to compete for the International Title in
Connecticut in the summer of 2015.
