Flight of the First - May 2015

This term marks the return of The Flight of the First, which in the past was a challenge to turn in a Detention project by the end of the first week of each month.  This term things are being changed up a bit, and the challenge is to turn in at least one class by the end of the first week.

All of those who rose to the challenge for the month of May were earburned to the Class Tetris thread to collect a fabulous badge created by Saratheentwife.

Now, for some statistics from this month's Flight!

82 Ravenclaw students turned in at least one class during the first week of May.  This is 46.8% of the 175 Sorted 'Claws this term!


All of these students got the minimum for Sorting Priority taken care of, and now have the rest of the month to focus on things like Advanced Studies and Quidditch.  The majority turned in just one class during the first (very exciting) week of term, but there were 9 who turned in 3 or more classes!  WOW!

The total number of projects turned in by these 82 students was 115!  Here is a chart showing the distribution among the eight possible subjects, with the numbers and percentage of the total included.

Will you join the numbers next month?  Remember, to fulfill the requirements for the challenge, all you need to do is complete at least one regular class during the first 7 days of the month.  No special tags or forms or anything else special needed on your part.


Also, don't forget that we also have the Detention badge for May available.  Turn in Detention by the end of the day (11:59POT) on May 26th to earn the badge in honor of Sally Ride!

Winter 2015 Progress: Pie and Other Noms!

The end of term is approaching!  With less than three weeks left in this Winter 2015 term, we can taste spring.  But there is still a lot of crafting to do before then!  Quidditch Match 4 ends Friday March 13 at midnight POT, and Order Missions are due March 15 at midnight POT!!  Remember, even a quiddy goal on the last day is 26 points--that's like a class with 11 bonus points!  And even a 25% Mission is 25 points for Ravenclaw!

As usual, Ravenclaw has been working hard on Advanced Studies all term.  As of early March, we hold a slim lead in Advanced Studies. 

A big shout out goes to all the completed 50% OWLs and 75% NEWTs!  No completed NEWTs yet from any house, but those Phoenixes are landing and so far Ravenclaw is ahead in Order Missions!  Let's bring the rest of those Phoenixes, OWLs, and NEWTs home!

Ravenclaw has been out on the Quidditch Pitch all term, enjoying a high yardage Match 2.  Remember, there are just a few days left for Match 4!

The Prefects' Challenge has gotten us all earning Prefect Points and basking in the Octopus' Garden.  Everyone is motivated by the spectacular badges made by our own portrait artist, SarahtheEntWife.  There's still time for double PP and a gorgeous badge for this month's Detention!  Just get your Detention project in by midnight POT on 3/14/15 to celebrate Pi Day!

Who will win the House Cup this term?  Gryffindor certainly jumped out for a big early lead, but as of early March, Ravenclaw is projected as being in second place!  We are roughly one class per person behind the lions.  Can we catch them with Just One More?  It's anyone's game!

In conclusion, SOAR RAVENCLAW!!

Fall 2014 Progress: Pie and Other Noms!

We're halfway through November and the deadline to return from an Order of the Phoenix mission is

midnight Princess Onica Time, the end of the day,

TOMORROW, Sunday, November 16

Even 25% finished means 25 points for Ravenclaw!

Ravenclaw's Advanced Studies have been in full swing throughout the term, and coming into the home stretch, we're just barely edging out Slytherin for the lead:

No completed NEWTs in yet, from anyone in any house -- the tension is building!

We've been dealing with Dolores Umbridge all term in Quidditch and unfortunately, her shadiness shows in the numbers:

Final match RQ19Match4 is flying high and elekanahmen is the first Claw goal on the pitch -- way to Go Out in a Blaze of Glory!

The prefects' Reducio! Challenge has us striving for MINIVICTORY! and Ravenclaw is keeping up in classwork:

Who will win the House Cup this term?  At this point, it's really anyone's game:
