The News Quiz October 16th - November 6th 2023 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Muddy boots!!!, We’re now SEVEN weeks into a whole 'nother school year and it seems like we’ve been here forever!!! (is it half term yet, nearly, please???). Well it is here in the North West, we get two weeks for half term (as we only have 4.5 weeks for Summer!), so this Quiz takes us up to 6th November 2023.

2023 continues with the testing, ever increasingly expensive, unpredictable, record-breaking and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world!

What a week once again - England beat Italy, Strangers rockets into number one, missile strikes cause international concern, steam loco on tour, Rugby World Cup victory for England, Disney at 100, For All The Dogs goes to One, tragic earthquake, sci-fi model goes to auction, invasive species traps, pop icon tour and eras icon tours… What does the rest of 2023 hold in store for us all? There’s only one way to find out - in the NEEEEEEWWWWSSS QUUUUUUUIIIIIZZZ! :)

New quiz uploaded each week of the term, ALL YEAR LONG! More than ten years and still going strong :) Many thanks to everyone who downloads this, it is very much appreciated and I’m glad it is useful for your form groups!

13 topical questions of the past week’s news, across the UK and the world.

Designed to be used as a 10-20 minute activity in formtime - you could make it a little longer by talking about and discussing some of the questions.

ANY MIS-SPELLINGS/MISSING CAPITALS ETC. IN THE PREVIEW ARE INTENTIONAL AND LINK TO THE LITERACY QUESTIONS IN THE REST OF THE QUIZ!

Powerpoint so can be used on a standard whiteboard.

Includes 2 literacy and 1 numeracy questions based on the other questions.

Works well as a form group activity in registration time - I give sweets to the winning team (we’re not supposed to give sweets out, so it’s a nice ‘naughty’ reward and makes (some of) them watch and check their apps about the news in the week. :)
