Happy (belated) Pi Day, Ravenclaws! It's hard to believe that yet another term is coming to a close, but here we are once again in the home stretch of the Winter 2016 term!
Ravenclaw is going strong again this term, and we're all hoping to repeat last term's victory. While there is positive news to report, it does look like it will be a real nail-biter! This term is really going to come down to the wire.
As usual, Tower residents are working hard on Advanced Studies. We had a great Advanced Studies weekend this past weekend, and everyone is busily trying to finish off those big projects. Slytherin is ahead in NEWTs, Hufflepuff has jumped to an early lead in Order Missions, and Ravenclaw has a slim lead in OWLs. This leaves Ravenclaw with a slim lead overall in Advanced Studies. Let's keep those Advanced Studies projects coming in! Remember, Order Missions are due on March 20th, and you have until the end of the month to get OWLs and NEWTs turned in!
Our fiercest competition comes from Hufflepuff, and they have a fairly commanding lead in the race for the Quidditch Cup. Ravenclaw is only about 800 points behind in the race for the Quiddy Cup, though, so we could still pull it out! Rotation 3 allows up to two projects for up to 30 base points (and there's yardage bonus!), so catching up is definitely possible! Rotation 3 ends on March 29, so let's all get out onto the pitch and finish strong!
Ravenclaws have been working hard all term to make Wizarding Element flashcards for the Prefects' Challenge. This has been particularly evident in classes, where 'Claws have been doing well with participation rates and some wins! #ScienceFTW is spot on! We had a great time in the Arithmancy classroom yesterday with the #ClawPiBlitz and we'll continue to pour ourselves into classes for the rest of the month. Remember, you have until March 23 for the Emmy Noether Detention Badge!
Overall, it's a very tight race for the House Cup! While Ravenclaw has a slim lead heading into the home stretch, other houses are only about one class per student behind! This means that we need every single class, quiddy goal, and AS project that we can get! Let's finish the term strong and SOAR!!
