This morning a great battle took place between 6 of the schools in Estevan...The Battle of the Books!!

The Battle of the Books happened for the second time this year and was held at Pleasantdale school. Put on by Kim Marshall from the Estevan Area Literacy Group, it is a chance for the Grade 5's and 6's of Estevan to prove their knowledge of 10 set books. 20 teams took part answering 50 questions about the books. Though it wasn't all about the books, prizes were also given to the teams with the best team uniform, banner and name! 

This year the prize for best banner went to the Hippies of Spruce Ridge who also won best costume. Whilst the prize for best name went to the Book Nerds. 

Finally the winning team of the Battle of the Books was a team also from Spruce Ridge, Nerd Alert! Who won by 1 point.
