The Y6s will compete against BOB teams from other International Schools. The Y5s will battle inter-class and with the Y6s in what we class as ‘friendly matches’.
Sample questions (from previous years) are:
In which book does a boy find secret passageways, warnings and danger in the century old place his family had moved into?
Answer: The House of Dies Drear by Virginia Hamilton
In which book does a boy dream of being taken to school by his father in a tractor trailer truck?
Answer: Dear Mr Henshaw, by Beverly Clearly.
The answer is ALWAYS this format – the title of the book and the author.
BOB is fun and we encourage everyone to give it a go – there is no pressure to join and no obligation to stay if a child decides not to continue. Ms Duggan will talk to students after half term break with regards to BOB and how to sign up.
