Read MoreFirst Lego League
Published 01/04/22Recently I took part in the First Lego League National Finals in Harrogate. First Lego League (FLL) is a global STEM competition run by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. It develops coding, designing and research skills. There are three parts to the competition:
- Robot games where teams build and program a robot to go round a board completing missions. This could be pulling, pushing, or transporting something. Teams earn points for each mission the robot successfully completes.
- The project where teams design and present a solution to a problem. This year’s theme was about how transporting cargo is using too much fossil fuels and our solution was an electric cargo ship with tidal turbines which we presented to the judges.
- Core values where teams explore new skills and ideas, show respect for each other and embrace their differences and work together well as a team.
Read MoreStudent-Run Uniform Shop
Published 01/04/22On Monday 21st March, we had the first opening of the Kendrick second hand uniform shop. It was a successful event, and we had managed to raise £51, which will go towards the school. Our first experience in running the stall was extremely positive, as the shop proved popular with the students, and we managed to sell many items. We are extremely lucky to be able to have a student-run shop in school, and we really enjoyed interacting with our peers; overall it was an enjoyable experience.
