| The Golden Bunsen has come home |
| Written by S Fradley |
 The Golden Bunsen trophy has been won by the older team (meant to be years 9 and 10) which comprised of Yr10 students Eleanor Pratt, Jade Popple, Simran Bilkhoo and our year 8 ringer Laura Pratt. The challenge was to make an object sink in a tank of water then rise within 60 seconds with the longest amount of time underwater gaining more points. The teams were also awarded points for teamwork and for their presentations. Our ladies were a perfect team and their presentation was delivered with confidence and charisma. They beat around 8 schools including Horsforth and Benton Park (and by default Prince Henry's who were too scared to show up after we took the trophy from them last year...) and have the gift vouchers, certificates and most importantly the Golden Bunsen to prove it! Our team from year 7 also did well gaining a joint 3rd place. Their device worked perfectly in repeated tests but then didn't work during their presentation. Again, team work and behaviour was impeccable. They were also fantastic and confident in their presentations. Their team consisted of Faye Barson, Megan Monaghan, Sam Greig, Jonah Swift, Shoaib Munir and Kirsty Foggitt. The teams were accompanied by Jane Morrell and Su Fradley and delivered by Julian in the minibus. Richard Smith had organised the trip.       |
