We are Back!
We are delighted to be back at Winston after the half term break and its great to see the amount of work that has taken place around the site:
New screens installed to help to keep students informed and currently showing reminders as to how to combat coronavirus.
The current drama rooms in C Block have been decorated.
The plans for our new building, 'Performance Space', are at the point of going to tender.
The main hall tables have been re-labelled to ensure that students only site in their Year Group Bubbles.
Face coverings in corridors and communal areas from Monday!
Japanese Club
Twenty-four students in Year 7 have been attending the weekly
Japanese Club this term where they have been learning about Japanese language,
lifestyle and culture through a variety of activities, games and quizzes.
Students have made fantastic progress in their spoken
Japanese and have had great fun practising the Hiragana and Katakana writing
forms.
They have learnt about traditional Japanese dress and
popular Japanese sports such as Sumo wrestling.
Students have had fun practising the art of Origami and have
learnt about the story of Sadako Sasaki and the cultural significance of paper
cranes in Japan.
Students have also enjoyed exploring aspects of popular
culture such as Anime and Manga. The Japanese prefects have been presenting new
material at the start of each session and students have been given the
opportunity to review their favourite stories and characters.
Well done to Fatima who won the recent ‘Chopstick challenge’
by using chopsticks to pick up and transport the greatest number of Skittles
from one side of the classroom to the other!
Next week students will be taking part in a Green Tea
ceremony and later in the term they will be making their own Sushi as part of
the annual Sushi Master Chef competition!
A huge thank you to Miss Finney and the Year 7 MFL Leaders for arranging such an enjoyable educational experience.
