The Chronicle

If you are in years 3,4,5 or 6 we have an exciting STEAM competition for you to enter.

There are two separate competitions, depending on which year group you are in:

Year 3-4: Design and build a device that can propel a soft toy a long distance.

Year 5-6: Find a way to drop a raw egg from a height of at least 2m without it breaking.

Entries can be individual, or a group of maximum six pupils.

Entries can be presented in any language, provided an English translation is given.

Each entry should come in two parts:

- A summary (word document, maximum two pages) to explain the project, the problem that you are trying to solve or investigate, and the outcome expected.

- A creative presentation (any format; PowerPoint, video, drawing, flyer…) to demonstrate the process, explore the project, highlight the stages, and introduce the design and the outcome.

Please name your files with the school name followed by the project title e.g. SchoolName_ProjectTitle and send them to Mrs Hardwick by Friday 26 January.

Videos must be uploaded to a sharable site such as YouTube, Vimeo or Google Drive, and the URL link copied into the entry form. We cannot accept videos as attachments or download/WeTransfer links.

Closing date - Monday 18 December

This half term, Ms Holmes set a new art challenge for you to get your creative juices flowing! The theme was ‘GIFT’.

You can work in any medium you like (pencil, pen, paint, crayon, pastel, junk box, paper, charcoal) – it’s up to you. It could be 2D or 3D but work should be no larger than A3.

Work should be your own, completed and handed in with your name, year group and most importantly your House, before the closing date.

You can choose what sort of gift it might be. Could be a thing, a person, a pet or something with a religious significance? You choose.

Please deliver any entries to Ms Holmes by no later than Monday 18 December.

Judging will take place during the Christmas holidays and the winners announced in the first assembly back. 25 house points awarded for first, 20 for second and 10 for third place and if you drop us an entry you gain 5 points for your house.

Get creative!
