After School Visit the Library!
Miss Dodds thought you might like to see how busy the Library gets after school, particularly on a Monday, when we host 3 different clubs! There is also space for students to complete homework or read quietly. The laptops are especially popular at this time for students doing homework or checking Frog.
Chess Club is run by 2 Year 9 students who are using this an opportunity to complete the 'Skill' section of their Duke of Edinburgh qualification. They had to organise the resources, create posters to advertise and supervise the club each week. It is a really popular club for students in Year 7, 8 and 9.
Gaming club is relatively new and this week, the students spent time designing posters all about Minecraft. It is their favourite game so they each designed a poster about a different element to the game. Miss Dodds definitely learnt a lot about the game from their posters!
The last club held in the Library on a Monday is Year 8 and 9 Book club, which is run by some of the Year 11 English prefects. They spend time chatting about the books they have been enjoying reading and also helping each other choose a new book to read. The attendees are all avid readers and it's a great opportunity to meet with friends, chat about books and give each
other recommendations!
The Library assistants are also very busy on a Monday after school sorting the shelves and putting returned books away. This week, some of the Year 7 Library assistants spent some time pulling out books from the non-fiction section that needed labelling. Miss Dodds has over 15 Library assistants to help in the Library this year which shows commitment from the students and a great display of service before self, one of our skills encouraged here at Winston.
It's great to see the Library so busy after school, filled with students keen to complete their work or participate in an extra-curricular activity.

Key Stage 3 Art Club
Ms Pinion has emailed me to share news of the KS3 ART club! Twenty-five students have joined the sessions and enjoyed the opportunity to share their love of art beyond their lessons.
Students are working on their own project ideas or working on the ART club theme of 'The Mad Hatters Tea Party' for this term.
