Summer School Day 3 & 4

Day 3 Starts with Coffee

A good start to the day with parents having a coffee and catchup with the Home School Link Workers and other Winston Staff.  Parents were also able to size up and order PE kit for the students ready for September.  A huge thank you to Mrs Clark and Jayden for opening the Coffee Shop.




Whilst the parents were having coffee and cake The students were about to embark on another long, but exciting, day at Summer School.  Firstly they took part in a Healthy Lifestyles and Eating lesson where they learnt about calories and produced some excellent collages on plates which will be displayed in the school:




Then another fun filled afternoon at High Ashurst doing the Leap of Faith and Crate Climbing, after a spot of lunch:




Day 4

Our day was spent at Birdworld where students watched a variety of displays, including the interactive bird talk and penguin feeds. We had lunch in the picnic area and visited the outback areas and flamingo enclosure in the afternoon.

Some students made it around the centre in time to also visit underwater world!!


 

Friday: Final Day


 Our final day! Students created more work for the displays based on themselves before summer camp and after summer camp. This group work activity was an opportunity for the group to work collaboratively and communicate effectively with one another, the gingerbread sheets will be up for all to see in no time!!

 

The students participated in sports day next, including 3 main events: a quiz of the school (including departments and subject knowledge), benchball, and ‘tennis football’. There were 5 teams, all competing towards the final game of capture the flag. Well done to all students, there was some fantastic displays of team work and everyone got fully involved.




 
The week came to a close with a BBQ  on the patio, the sun shone as parents, students and staff enjoyed some hot dogs, burgers and salad.



We would like to thank all students for attending this week, and all parents for their support. We hope you found the week beneficial and are looking forward to Your first day at The Winston Churchill School!
