Fri, Mar 6th 2015 at 12:00 am - 12:00 am
The local heat of the Primary School Quiz was held in Bridge of Allan.
On Friday afternoon, the club heat for the 2015 Primary Schools Quiz was held in Bridge of Allan Parish Church Hall. Teams from five local schools took part in this annual competition which tests knowledge on a number of topics covering Environment, Literature, Current Affairs, Maths, History, Sport, General Science, Geography and Spelling. Teams of 5 (including 1 reserve) pupils fought a tough and close competition with St Mary's Episcopal being pipped at the post by Newton Primary School in a tie break round. Dunblane, Bridge of Allan and Queen Victoria School put up strong competition and made it a very lively, noisy and fun filled afternoon. Rotary District 1010 has for a number of years run a quiz for Primary 7 age pupils, which starts with local heats and culminates in a district final. These events offer great enjoyment, excitement to pupils, parents and teachers. The competition aims to offer senior primary pupils the experience of competing as part of a team and an opportunity to meet pupils from other schools. The victors from Newton Primary School comprising Eleanor Duncan, Lauren McDougall, Thomas Gourley, Calum Smith and Alexander Taggert now go to compete in the Area Final in the Albert Halls in Stirling on Saturday 18 April.
