We will hold the event in Term 4 Week 1 (Friday 07 October) during lunchtime (13:25 – 14:15) hopefully on the Wood Bridge.

In preparation for this event start gathering your teams together and we will have multiple copies of the short stories text available as print to loan out for you to start reading soon. I am holding the event next term so that you can have the holiday period to read the short stories. You must sign up to enter and you can come up with a device for your team to sign into the Kahoot together.
