Amazing red-sky at Athletics training, 29 Apr 2026

Has been a bit weird with so few Jedi Knight's at Athletics due to GCSEs. However, it has been intriguing to see the newbies giving it a go, e.g., Cdt C at High Jump, Cdt R had good arm technique at Javelin, Cdt C can throw a Discus. Have noticed a good supportive vibe from girls as well, good positivity. Seems a few have some fighting spirit (Cdt H might have a good mid-400m pace). Wed saw some good rotation on field events, with the customary 1368 relay-rounds practice to finish. An amazing red sky night. Just about enough energy left for Hokey Cokey, with review cadets stepping up into leadership roles.

STEM #3 night, Paddle Boat challenge photos, 27 Apr 2026

Another opportunity for 1368 to run a STEM-based competition. This one was building rubber band powered paddle boats, the 3rd smallpiece trust home challenge we've tried. Winner, based on Team presentation and water tank performance, was Cdt B's team, who won the contract.  Wing STEM officer is looking into getting Bronze CREST Awards for last year's Wing Competition STEM team. It does require her to submit design portfolio though, hence may need a bit of work from team to get a submission ready (or find what was done), if they want it. https://www.crestawards.org/
