Kernowland in Erthwurld Quiz 3

Quiz 3 for the Kernowland in Erthwurld books now available
Lots of teachers and children have asked for more quizzes so we're now setting more of them for the Kernowland in Erthwurld series so that you can try them in class or at home.

Quiz 3 is now available

Some quizzes will be based on specific chapters in specific books, so that you can read the chapters and then have a go at answering the questions knowing that the answers will be found in those few pages.

Then other quizzes will be quite a bit harder because the answers to the questions will only be found somewhere in one whole book.

Other quizzes will be a lot harder because the questions will come from any of the six books in the series.

So far, there are three quizzes - with multiple choice answers (A, B, or C) - to try...

Quiz 1: 10 Questions from Book 1, Chapter 1
Quiz 2: 10 Questions from Book 1, Chapters 2-5
Quiz 3: 10 Questions from Book 1, Chapters 6-10

Some quizzes can be completed online as well as printed or downloaded. All children have to do to take each online quiz is enter their name or nickname at the start. There is no need to enter an email or home or school address, or any other identifying information, so it is safe for children to complete the quizzes online at school or at home. When quiz takers have finished each online quiz, they will be told which answers they got right and wrong and their overall score in a Quiz Report. They will also receive a personalised Quiz Certificate, which can be downloaded or printed.

Please feel free to share a quiz or add it to your own school or other website by clicking on the 'Embed' and other sharing, download, or print links. 

To start quizzing, go to the Kernowland in Erthwurld Quiz page.

I hope you enjoy trying the quizzes.

Teacher and parent quiz resources, including answers, are here.

The school news said...

Jack Trelawny visit

Author Jack Trelawny visited Year 3/4 and some Year 2 children at Milverton to inspire the children to learn to be writers. He writes fantasy adventure stories and told the children where all his great ideas come from. The children learnt that they need to look at pictures, ask questions - why, how, where and what? They also need to use their imagination, research and find things out. It was a truly inspiring event and lots of children, particularly the boys, were spotted reading their books around the school.

Teacher, Rachel Green, reviewed the visit as follows...

Dear Jane,
Thank you so much for organising Jack's visit. The children had a wonderful time and it would be great to make it an annual event. The teachers were thrilled to see the children so excited about stories and books, especially the boys!!!

Tom Solomon, actor
Here's some great news! We've been very lucky to get actor Tom Solomon to read the first Kernowland audio book. Among his many credits, Tom is the winner of the BBC International TV show, The Voice of Musical Theatre, and he played opposite Tommy Steele as Young Scrooge in London's musical production of Scrooge. Tom's acting career has seen him work for some of the most prestigious production and theatre companies in the world, including Universal, BBC TV, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, The Young Vic, Old Vic Productions, The Royal Opera House, Cameron Mackintosh Ltd, Wales Millennium Centre and IFX Productions. Tom has performed in productions on Broadway, the West End and around Europe... and he is now bringing the Kernowland in Erthwurld stories to life!
Kernowland 1 audio book on new USB Flash Memory Card
Children can now listen to the story whilst reading, which, for many, aids understanding and enjoyment.
The USB Flash Card includes Kernowland 1 The Crystal Pool audio book + 1.8 GB of free memory space.
If you're wondering about a Christmas, birthday, or other gift, this is something a little unusual that can be on a desktop, laptop, or mobile device in seconds.
If you'd like to purchase the first audio book or find out more, please go to the Kernowland website using the following link...


We hope to have this first Kernowland audio book available for direct download soon. 

All six books in the Kernowland in Erthwurld Series will hopefully soon be available in audioBook format for downloading and listening with iPod, iTunes, QuickTime, and all your other favourite audioBook players.

I'll post updates as and when I know more.

Westfield Junior School PE27 5RG

Visit to Westfield Junior School - Cambridgeshire - PE27 5RG
Drama at Westfield Junior School
        
I visited Westfield Junior School, in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, today. It was great fun presenting the 'Edutainment' slideshow and talking to the children about my books and answering questions about reading and writing. After the visit, the children are going to mix up some animals to create their own mutants based on the 'mutationeering' theme from the Kernowland in Erthwurld stories. I look forward to seeing the pictures!
