Awards Evening
On Wednesday 2nd December the
Gifted and Talented Sport, PE and Dance Cohort had a day to remember. Ross
Murray, a 1500m runner who represented Great Britain at the London Olympics ran
a selection of workshops. At the beginning of the day, in assembly, he shared his story which
prompted a fantastic Qustion & Answer session. Ross then ran two running sessions with
our G&T PE students, putting them through their paces and allowing the
students to experience running at an Elite Level. Finally our pupils were given
an opportunity to question Ross on his training and nutrition; a thoroughly
engaging day and certainly a unique opportunity.
The day ran into the evening and
we welcomed Ross back for our Annual G&T PE Awards. A night to celebrate the
success and triumphs of Winston students across a range of sports. If one
Olympian wasn’t enough we also welcomed to the stage Mat Luamanu, a New
Zealander, now playing his professional rugby at Harlequins. The night was
a great success and a huge congratulations to everyone involved.
"Surrey Young Leaders"
On 3rd December nine
lucky students attended the "Surrey Young Leaders" Day at Leatherhead
Leisure Centre. This was a packed event with over 100 students from 16 different
schools. The students were put through a selection of classroom and practical
based activities developing a variety of key skills including communication,
confidence and creativity. The students were a credit to Winston Churchill
School and themselves.
Well done: Peter Ive,
April Gadsby, Lucy Fitzpatrick, Kieran Browne, Natasha Ware, Liam Bowden, Ben
Stone, Georgina Sweetland, Finley Mearns
Year 5 Dance Festival
On Tuesday 1st December our
G&T Dance Team ran a Dance Festival for Year 5 pupils from four of our local
primary schools. In one hour the dancers were tasked with choreographing a
performance to a particular theme, themes included, "Dancing through the
Decades" and "Star Signs" amongst others. After the rehearsals
were over the groups were set to perform on the Winston stage. A fantastic
occasion and a big well done to everyone involved.
Congratulations: Jake Burke,
Holly Gardner-Hall, Charlotte Hardy, Lilly Hatcher, Grace Tweddle, Naomi Munday,
