This Week

 Coastal Erosion 

Miss Harris’ Year 11 geographers worked together to show how the processes of weathering, erosion and transportation would change the coast. To simulate a headland, they used angel cake and had to develop their ideas and present to the class. The class then voted which group had the most effective model.  This will certainly remind students when faced with a GCSE examination question.


Year 10 Girls First Fixture


On Wednesday 29th September the Year 10 Netball team had their first fixture, in almost two years, against Woking High. It was so lovely to see the girls back in action again and fighting hard against a tough side. In true Winston style , the girls showed their resilience fighting tooth and nail at every opportunity they could, trying to slow down a very fast and well-rehearsed opposition. Winston created some fantastic interceptions in defence, with special mention to Megan in GK. This is a positive start, getting back into playing competitive matches again, for the year 10's. 
 The year 10 Player of the Match went to Issy, for her encouragement and determination to fight for the ball in the centre. 
The PE department are excited to see that already so many students are getting involved back into competitive extra-curricular sport.  


Year 7 First Fixture

On Monday the 27th of September, the Year 7 Netball Team had their very first netball fixture! The team played Woking High A&B teams and there were enough Winston players to rotate 2 teams as well!
It was a tough game, against a very experienced Woking high side- most of whom play for clubs outside of school. Whilst the Winston team fought hard, we used this mostly as a learning experience- having not had a school fixture before. There were stand out performances from Aaliyah , Alishba and Lucas but each of the players showed great resilience, determination and worked hard throughout. A special thanks should also go to Amy in Year 10, and Katie in Year 8 for helping out.
The PE Department hope to see more new faces at netball club and hope that with clubs and fixtures starting back up, more students are inspired to get to clubs outside of school too!
