King’s Challenge Day!

King’s Challenge Day – Tuesday 31 March 2020

To celebrate the end of Lent term, we have put together some fun challenges for students to get involved with at home and share with classmates.

How does it work?

The nine challenges are for everyone from Removes to Upper Sixth.
Entries open at 8.50am on Tuesday March 31 and can be made throughout the day!
Each student can attempt as many challenges as they like, but only one entry per challenge is allowed – so make sure it’s your best attempt!
Every entry gets a House point with bonus points awarded for the top five entries, as judged by the teacher who set the challenge.
Entries must have your name and House (Tutor Group of a Remove) in the email subject.

Check @kingschester and our Facebook page throughout the day to see how your classmates are getting on.

We’ll do an ‘end of play’ round-up on Tuesday and Wednesday at www.kingschester.co.uk – including a running total of House points!

Entries close at 4pm on Tuesday 31 March – winners announced Wednesday 1 April!
