Bristol pupils will be playing to win replica 2018 World Cup
What was the name of the dog which found the stolen FIFA World Cup in 1966? Here's a clue; it goes well with cheese.
Every primary school in Bristol has been invited to take part in a city-wide 2018 World Cup quiz.
-

Nearly 100 schools have been sent the interactive PowerPoint quiz to engage, challenge, entertain and educate pupils as part of the city's bid to become a host venue for the 2018 World Cup.
Run by the council-funded initiative Playing for Success Bristol, which is based in study centres at Bristol City and Bristol Rovers football clubs, the children will test their wits, team-building and problem- solving skills to win a replica World Cup trophy of their own.
The competition consists of two rounds. Each school must submit the results of its highest-scoring team of four pupils.
The top 24 teams will then be invited to the Council House on Thursday, October 29, for a grand final. Each member of the winning side will receive a medal and their school will take home a replica of the most famous trophy in world sport.
It is different to the one England held aloft in 1966, which was stolen from an exhibition in London and found by a dog named Pickles.
The quiz includes footage of events such as Carlos Alberto's infamous goal for Brazil in the final of the 1970 World Cup against Italy.
They are also asked to guess the nationality of various fans, by means of picking up on face paint, flags or kit which the person is wearing.
Organiser Russell Tanner, who is part of a four-strong team that runs the study centres for Playing for Success Bristol, said: "It complements the work we do, which is engaging the children in learning.
"It gets them thinking about maths, about English."
The front runners so far include Air Balloon in St George, Cheddar Grove in Bedminster Down, Brentry Primary in Brentry and Wansdyke Primary in Whitchurch.
The deadline for first-round results to be lodged with Mr Tanner is midnight tonight.
Results should be emailed to russell.tanner@bristol.gov.uk.
