Congratulations to The Ruth Gorse Academy!
The Ruth Gorse Academy has been awarded Thought Leader for Issue 3: The rise of violent crime. Lots of things caught our eye from this club and we think they're worthy winners of this half term's award.
Firstly, they have won a high amount of skills stars per club members. This shows that lots of students in the club are developing the BNC skills and showing them when they contribute online. Secondly, they went beyond writing posts and got stuck into conversations in the comments section. By replying to other BNC members, the BNC team and asking questions to the Experts, they showed curiosity and open-mindedness for other people's perspectives. Congratulations!
HIGHLY COMMENDED: We were also blown away by the contribution from Michael Faraday School this half term. Their Final pieces were moving, engaging and thought provoking. Well done!
We hope you enjoy Issue 4, which will begin next week.

Yay, my school is the thought leader!

Olivia, although this is nothing to do with thought leaders, I have noticed that the person from our school who was 1st place (34 stars) was removed from the leader board and The Ruth Gorse Academy have lost 44 stars. I have also noticed that other schools have also lost stars, but not to the same extent as the Ruth Gorse Academy, like the Ormiston Bushfield Academy who have lost 10.
Is this a bug or has something happened that I'm not aware of?

Thank you so much!!!!
Hi affable_weaver,
Well done for being the thought leaders for this issue! You're correct that there were some adjustments to the stars last week. This was because too many stars were awarded for the weekly competition #21 and we had to rectify the error. This will be why some schools have had different changes. You can read more about it here.

Thank you Olivia for this award. The issue of Violent Crime was extremely interesting and we thoroughly enjoyed posting and commenting on things concerning that topic. I would also like to congratulate Michael Faraday School for their award as well for their Final Pieces.

Thank you for the award! Also congratulation to Michael Faraday School, especially to busy-song who put forward so many amazing comments.
Yes, just like helpful_wallaby had said, the issue of violent crime was very interesting although concerning at the same time. I’m looking forward to discussing Brexit; it’s the one biggest issue that will affect us all and change the future of Great Britain entirely. I’m really looking forward to hearing what others have to say, as well as their thoughts and concerns.
