PE at Winston
“Mum, I can’t wait to come to Winston!” were the words of a
young girl pedalling away on the exercise bike yesterday evening at the Winston
Churchill school open evening.
Miss Howe, and the Winston PE department utilised all the
sports facilities to the best of their advantage to showcase what is on offer
at the school: There was a rugby match as well as both boys’ and girls’
football on the astroturf. Not to mention, a whole array of sporting taster
activities across the sports hall, gym and fitness suite.
The penalty shot out against the year 11 prefects proved
popular amongst prospectus new pupils, the speed gun was on offer measuring the
speed of cricket-bowling, with games of badminton, volleyball and table tennis,
and crazy catch competitions also drawing big crowds.
Amongst all of this, the cycling and rowing machines had a
steady stream of volunteers trying their hand at travelling as far of a distance
as they could throughout the evening. The bike saw a combined distance of
26.34km, and the rowers fulfilled a fantastic effort of 23.55. A great endeavour,
with a total of 49.89km! Equating to the distance from Winston to Gatwick airport! Undoubtedly a successful evening- The Winston PE
Department would like to thank everyone for coming along and getting involved,
and look forward to meeting new students in September.
