Art: The Exhibition
The work of Year 11 students
was exhibited at a private viewing on Wednesday. The standard of the
pieces was excellent and the work was supported by sketch books tracking the
development of each exhibit. Thank you to Miss Sharma, Mrs Rothenburg and Mrs Ward for helping our students to reach their potential and for creating an evening aimed at celebrating success.
World Games Day
On Wednesday
25th June The Winston Churchill School held their
annual World Games Day. This year was the biggest one yet with over 300
children in attendance from our local Primary Partnership Schools and more than
80 Young Leaders from Year 10 were involved. As always the World Games Day had
an International theme, linking in with the current Football World Cup. Each
Primary School represented a country from the World Cup Pools and created flags
and a huge poster with interesting facts about their country. On arrival our Art
Leaders face painted all the children with the flag of their country which
always goes down very well, with most of our leaders getting involved too. Our
Music leaders helped to keep everyone entertained with some great performances throughout the day. Once the events got underway, the day had a
real buzz of excitement with children competing in activities such as assault
courses, vortex throwing, sprinting and team building. This is also when our
leaders really shone. On many occasions throughout the day I had teachers
commenting on how impressed they were with all our students and I think they
were excellent role models, representing Winston in such a positive way. The day concluded with a medal ceremony and the Music Leaders ensured
we were all upstanding for our National Anthem which
everyone sang beautifully.

The class was working in groups to show how the SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual Cultural)aspects of learning Impact on the use of textiles. The student's enthusiasm was evident as they discussed how each
are would be represented and the competitive side of them came out as original
ideas were whispered. They are going to be investigating topics such as Sweat
shops, landfills, fabric designs across the world and the importance of moral
awareness between cheap commercially available clothes and recycling. On the 18th
July groups will be presenting their work to the rest of the class.
