11th November, at 11.00am at Winston
Our community came together today to remember those who have lost their lives fighting for our country. They made the ultimate sacrifice and to recognise this, the whole school reflected, stood socially distanced on the patio.
Winston stood in silence, to honour those who fought for our freedom.
One of our students, from Year 8, is self-isolating and was going to play the Last Post with Mr Drake this morning. So to feel part of the Remembrance Day, he played the Last Post at the same time as it was being played at school.
Winston was Ready, Responsible and Respectful; The Winston Way.
Our new display in Discovery Space, has gone up, which features a range of interesting fiction and non-fiction books linked to both World War 1 and World War 2. 8RTO have also created some fantastic poppies as part of the display. Each of the students went away and researched someone who has been involved in a war and they added this name to their poppies that they made. Some students also included extra information about the person such as a picture or the year they were born. Thanks to 8RTO for a thoughtful addition to our display! We also have a feature in our display that details some people originally from the Woking area, who fought in WW1 so do come along and have a look if you're interested in finding out about some local history!
Year 7 tutor groups are coming into the Library each morning during form time to write some acrostic poems for either the word 'Poppy' or 'Remember', thinking about the significance of Remembrance Day. Attached are some brilliant examples of these poems from students in 7AKO!
These are very challenging times and
