The McLaren Challenge
In preparation for the McLaren
challenge later this month, Miss Blackman hosted an innovation challenge, to take place in the Technology Department,
between teams who could sign up for the event in advance to compete against
others.
The competition was initially only
open to Year 10, however, we had a last minute Year 9 team sign up, who competed
against the older students. The challenge, which would judge their ability to
design something successfully but also work in a team, was to build a strong
tower which could hold weights.
The winning team was the Year 9s, who
will now work with myself and Mrs Brown to design and make a self-propelled car,
to race against other schools at McLaren. This group of boys impressed us so
much with their building skills and their ability to work in a team; their
tower also held an amazing 1 kilo of weight!
The Winston Churchill School McLaren
challenge team are:
Oscar Mays
Michalis Grouzis
Nathan Hutt
Dominik Buocik
Aaryan Shenoy
The Winning Team!

Year 7 winners of the Frog Quiz. Will you take part in the next quiz?
There is a new one on Frog now!
We have had two hugely successful and challenging Frog play
quizzes over the last fortnight, with a quiz for Music and for RE. Many
students as before showed a lot of resilience and hard work in having multiple
attempts in reaching 100% with Miss Ashworth’s quiz for music having a record
breaking number of students who will receive certificates for music in assembly
on Friday. Mr Magwa’s RE quiz was also very competitive with the students
reaching 100% have all received at least two prizes beforehand so are receiving
a special certificate for their recognition of their commitment to revising key
vocabulary.

Assembly: Supporting Others
Our assembly this week has been all about the Bishop Ngala Secondary school which is located in the Kilome constituency in Mukaa . The school is part of the Makueni district in the Eastern province of Kenya. We have been raising money to sponsor some children through their education at this school. each Year Group will support and track the progress of two children.
We have direct contact with the school and have recently sent out some unwanted sports kit, as you will have seen on a previous blog. Students exchange letters about their experiences.
