You will have been given the resources at the GCSE workshop evening or in class. You can find these all electronically in the GCSE revision folder on this blog- see the tabs above. One of the short stories was no longer available so I have put another one on there for you.
If you’re a fan of brainteasers and riddles, and like the TV show ‘The 1% Club’, this could be right up your street!
In late January, students who successfully pass the application stage will be invited to take part in the Brainbox Challenge.
It will take place in the Main Hall, and will follow a similar structure to ‘The 1% Club’. (You can watch episodes of it on ITV Player here.)
Each participant will be given a mini whiteboard and pen. You’ll be faced with a series of brainteasers which will start fairly easy and get progressively harder.
If you get one wrong, you’ll be eliminated from the contest. The last person standing will be crowned Lutterworth College Brainbox Champion.
Prizes
The winner will receive 50 house points, a trophy and a gift.
The runners up will receive 25 house points.
Everyone who gets through to the challenge itself will get 10 points for taking part.
There’s 10 house points on offer for everyone who scores full marks – however many attempts it takes you! – and a bonus 25 points for 3 lucky winners who’ll be drawn at random after the closing date.
