A 9-0 Win for Winston!
Yesterday afternoon our U14 Winston Squad took to the field, for their first game of the season. The game was against Christs School, Richmond, our first round of the County Cup. The pressure was on, the whistle blew, and the game got off to a strong start.
Within the first 15 minutes Winston were 4-0 up. With three out of four goals scored by our team: Charlotte, Lucy and Chloe. Unfortunately for Christs, Ava crossed a strong ball into the box and on a defensive rebound, the opposition scored an own goal, assisted by Ava P!
As the end of the second half was approaching, Ava scored a fantastic goal in the top right corner, bringing the score to 5-0.
The second half saw a change in the line-up, as Eda took to the field. Giving Lisen a well-deserved break, after her fantastic performance up-front. With the second half in full swing, Christs School came in at full attack. However, with some tireless defending from Winston, Ava gets her second goal, bringing the score to 6-0. Soon to be followed by Charlotte who gets her second, the score is now at 7-0.
Christs come back in attack with some attempts at goal, but Jenny, Suri and Izzy were too quick on the ball, keeping it out of the danger zone.
With a quick substitution Winston welcome Imaan and Amelia to the pitch, who quickly get stuck in. Imaan in defence and Amelia in midfield, Ava with a run from the wing, drives the ball into the oppositions goal scoring her third, a hat trick, 8-0!
A brilliant goal from Lucy Fuller, nearing the end of the second half takes the score to 9-0! The final whistle blew, the final result, 9-0! Well done, Winston! A fantastic game played and thanks to Christs School, for a brilliant game from the get-go and coming out to play!
A fantastic way to start the season!

Yr7 Gardening Project
A small group of Yr7's recently had the opportunity to spend a day at The Vyne Centre in Knaphill. Here the students were able to volunteer within their local community to help improve the outdoor space available at the centre.
Tasks involved weeding, planting bulbs & flowers, completing the construction of bug hotels and flattening pathways suitable for wheelchair use. The group were fully engaged, getting their hands dirty and making a positive difference. Upon completion, we discussed the value of volunteering and team work as well as the vital life skills that they were developing.
It was also great to see members of the public inside the Community Centre talk to our students and thank them for their hard work. The group are keen to visit again to see the outcome of their work in the Spring!

Art Club
In Art club this week students continued exploring the theme of Gargoyles. Some students had fun creating a Monoprint. This is a one-off fine art printing technique that traditionally uses a sheet of glass or Perspex to transfer a unique design onto a sheet of paper. No two monoprints are alike, and the designs created can only be used once.
Some other students chose to make their own Art, popular styles range from comic book doodles, Japanese Manga, super realistic drawing and painting.
