PNEU WIN SCIENCE CHALLENGE

Congratulations to Rianna, Nina, Charlotte and Ciara for winning yesterday's Haileybury Science Challenge. They gained enough winning points by coming first in the Physics task and second in the Chemistry task.

68 pupils from 17 Preparatory and Primary Schools took part in the annual challenge. The physics challenge saw pupils having to build a boat or raft to hold the largest number of objects before it sunk. This was after the Millennium Bridge was destroyed by the Death Eaters, leaving the people of London stranded.

The next task set in the Haileybury School of Witchcraft and Wizardry involved potions. Professor Horace Slughorn is back teaching potions and put Harry, Hermoine and Ron to work straight away, but a number of jars had lost their labels. Participants had to help identify and re-label the potions for the chemistry section of the day.

The final challenge of the day involved food, as Dumbledore drank a mind-altering liquid in order to reveal the Horcrux. The concoction made him very weak so he had to find food which gave him the most amount of energy. Participants had to text the foods and decide which would be best.
