Loving Learning

Year 7 Book Club

Year 7 have started a book club which takes place once a week after school.  They have started to plan their activities and have made a decision to participate in the Carnegie Shadowing Programme.
Watch this space for more details of their club.


French on Friday

 Year 7 were enjoying a French lesson with a new member of staff.  I was impressed with their listening skills and the level of active participation with the learning.

A Really Cool Teacher!

This was the verdict of the Mrs Eyre's class as she used the technology to randomly select a student, using photographs, to complete a task on the board.  The students were identifying, from a mark scheme, where they felt they needed support, from their teacher, to successfully complete a task.
 



Year 9 Maths Leaders

Our Year 9 students welcomed Year 6 students to Winston for a challenging afternoon of mathematics!  The students told me that the tasks set were hard, level 6, but that they were supported to problem solve their way through the challenges.

We look forward to welcoming these students to our school in September.





The Quiche Challenge


Year 8 were challenged to making a Quiche on Friday in a lesson with Miss Barker-Dodds.  The group were very focussed and organised, as they had to meet some very tight deadlines to complete the task successfully.

Year 7 German Lesson

The group below were praised by their teacher for the hard work and determination they demonstrated throughout the lesson.  Well done Year 7.
