On Tuesday this week, 20 students from Shene school were selected to go to York house and work with the Army in an Engineering Challenge. We had 2 hours to design and build a mini buggy. We were given a specific amount of materials and each material cost a certain amount of money and we had to come up with the most effective cost buggy, that actually worked. My team came 1st, as we made the most sufficient buggy; within the budget. We all got an award and the school received a glass shield for our good work.

New Opportunities
We've had such a busy week, that we almost forgot to mention a great opportunity that was given to some year 9 & 10 students.
Celebrating the 110th birthday of Richmond Theatre, a group of volunteers were running a creative writing workshop for schools all over the borough. We were lucky to be selected! The workshop involved creating a 2 minute radio bulletin in just half an hour. We were bombarded with new news every minute! We had a brilliant time and had an experience that many of us will never forget. After an hour of madness, which showed us just what it would be like to be a news reporter, we finally presented our short news reports. This was then followed by a congratulation of excellent effort and thanks from all the student. A few of us even grabbed the chance given to all of us to take part in creating a play, celebrating the birthday of Richmond Theatre, every Saturday morning. Only ten from the whole borough will be selected and it will be showing in the Summer, we can't wait! Maybe we will see some Shene Stars on the stage!

Update
We've recently had a lot of exams so we apologize for not posting you with news from Shene School ! However, we now seem to be back on track and hope to update regularly.
At Shene School we are excited to tell you about the Jack Petchy Speak Out Challenge which was held two weeks ago for a number of year 10 students. It was a very good experience, and many of us gained the knowledge of how to capture people's attention using the power of words. It was a full day workshop, involving a number of activities that helped us to improve our confidence, courage and ability to speak in front of big, public audiences effectively. At the end of the day we all had to give a 2 minute speech about anything of our choice that we felt strongly about! There were to be 6 finalists. Who are now going to be speaking live in a year 10, morning assembly on the following Wednesday. Good luck to Audreyce, Niiko, Josie, Sophie, Shahab and of course Lujain! We will update next week about how it goes!
