Each round sees the children face 12 sets of questions. In each section they face three tests of their general knowledge, with the two judges keeping a track of the scores. After the opening flurry of questions the teams were very evenly balanced. In fact by half time there were only 6 points between Harold Wood (1st place) and Gidea Park (3rd place) - which meant we were ideally placed for a second half surge.
Unfortunately we faced some very difficult questions in the final rounds; as a result we were unable to close the gap with Harold Wood. Despite finishing second, the team did extremely well as they scored a very respectable 39 points against Harold Wood's 46. Gidea Park finished a commendable third.
David Sangojinmi interviewed our Broadford team for the pupil blog:
1. Who was the strongest member of the team?
A. We all felt we contributed equally to the score.
2. If you had to rank the difficulty of the questions, how many marks out of 10 would you give them?
A. Without a doubt the questions were hard... very hard! Consequently we would score it as 9 out of 10.
3. What was the hardest round?
A. Surprisingly we found the Olympics round the hardest because there was no multiple choice.
Well done to our team: Matas, Josh, Emma and Cassie. Knocking out Engayne and Dame Tipping was a great achievement. However Harold Wood were very strong and it was an excellent competition. Now we can look forward to next year!
