13th December 3013

Christmas continues at Winston with a number of activities aimed at raising money for charity and our sugar levels!
Year 10 arranged a superb Christmas Fair on Tuesday, with a range of games and stalls selling lovely things to eat and gifts and decorations.  It created a lovely atmosphere at the end of the day and demonstrated how willing our students are to support others.



                         

Chocolate logs have been the order of the day in Technology and the following pictures show the students with their delicious hand-crafted outcomes.
                                       



                                                     

Mr Parsons decided to bring GCSE Stats to life with an innovative lesson on the corrolation between your height and how loud you can shout.  Using the sound proof recording studio and some very sensitive equipment students of all ages were asked to shout the word 'LOUD' and were then measured to enable the GCSE group to work on real live data. As you can see in the photographs below, Mr Davis could not resist taking part!



                                         

I was delighted to welcome Martin Ingram, Principal of Woking 6th Form College, to Winston on Wednesday.  He had an opportunity to talk to Year 11 students about their perceptions of the Woking College and was very complementary about the mature way in which our students handled the discussion.
