On Tuesday, Harley and two other classmates competed in "Battle of the Brains" at the local high school. They won their first heat and will be going back again on 19th June for the semi-final. They even had a perfect score in round 3. Each team is asked a set of 10 questions each round. Harley's team answered all 10 questions correctly - a total of 200 points for that round.
Kimberley competed in the competition last year (see posts from June 2006). Kimberley's team made it to the semi-final and came second but not enough to get through to the final.
My eldest daughter Shauni also competed in this in 2004, although she was attending a different primary school than Kimberley and Harley. Shauni's team made it through to the final and came third.
Harley is hoping his team can make it to the final as well. They did really well in the heat and I think they have a good chance of getting through. It all depends on the types of questions they are asked!
