The Whizz Quiz Friday 1stOctober 2021 St. Pius X Friday Quiz 5thand 6thClasses

The Whizz Quiz Hi boys, Welcome to the first Whizz Quiz of the new school year! For 6 weeks this term, we will play our school quiz on a Friday. Today s quiz is just a practice quiz so your teacher won t be keeping score. Try your best to answer the questions correctly but, more importantly, have fun! Now, time for some fun and challenging questions, tricky teasers and puzzling pics! Here we go! Mr. R amonn

The Whizz Quiz Rules There are 13 questionsin each quiz -the first is a warm-up and worth one point, the other 12 are worth 2 points each. That s a maximum of 25 points! Your best 4 scores from the 5 quizzes will count. So, if you miss one Friday quiz, you can still win. The maximum total score is 100 points!

If you get an answer almost right or half right, your teacher will award you one point instead of two. For example, suppose the question is: Name two Irish rivers and you write Shannon and Nile. Shannon is right, but Nile is not. You would earn one point! Don t worry too much about spelling. If your answer is right, you ll get the points so long as your spelling is close enough . unless, of course, it s a spelling question!

Enjoy the quiz and hopefully you will learn a few things from it too! When the quiz is finished, all of the questions will be shown on the last page to allow you to do a quick check. Good Luck! No whispering! Here we go
