Nine pupils from Year 7 and 8 went to compete at the Oxfordshire round of the Geographical Association\u2019s WorldWise Quiz hosted by MCS. The three teams Malaku, Cho Oyu and Lhotse put in a great performance over 7 rounds which included a decision making exercise on whether to locate a new potash mine near Whitby, OS map skills, country outlines and a very tricky \u2018More or Less\u2019 round.<\/p>\n
We had an enjoyable evening applying our geographical knowledge to questions such as \u201cIs the M1 motorway longer than the length of the Grand Canyon?\u201d, \u201cIs Luxembourg larger or smaller than the world\u2019s biggest iceberg?\u201d and \u201cWhere is there more rain – London or Brussels?\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Year 8 team of Arjun, Joseph and Rupert finished joint fourth out of 21 teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
