SUCCESS Wilnecote Warbler November 2019 V AWARDS EVENING 2019 October saw us celebrate our students’ successes throughout the academic year 2018-19. The night not only celebrated our students’ wonderful academic achievements but recognised progress made by students in each subject. As well as the academic awards, the night was rounded off with the presentation of our specialist awards. The Terry Dix Award for House Involvement went to: James Bartholomew, Beth Rawlings and Faye Thompson. Picking up the Richard Thornton Athlete of the Year Award was Lottie McLaren. Nathan Livesey was awarded the Sportsman of the Year Award. The Lydia Bennett Sportswoman of the Year Award was awarded to Jessie Snell. For the first time in the history of the Wilnecote Awards nights, the Lyndie Palmer Performing Arts Award was awarded to four students. Sam Martin, Ben Jones, Ben Ryan and James Bartholomew, who collectively make up the band Irridium. The last award of the evening was the Pride of Wilnecote Award, an award that recognises the immense contribution of an individual to the life and work of The Wilnecote School. This year the award went to Kaydi Tresdadern. We hope all that attended this year’s Awards Evening enjoyed the night and we can’t wait to celebrate with our students next year. 8
Wilnecote Warbler November 2019 M.F.L SUPRISE ME HOMEWORK Last week, students in Mrs. Hill’s class were chosen to trial a new ‘surprise me’ homework. They had to demonstrate their learning of either the pencil case items or colours in any format they wanted! The only rule? The ‘surprise’ could not be that they didn’t do it! Having never done it before, Mrs. Hill was curious about what the students would produce but was very proud and certainly ‘surprised’ by the results. The students really worked hard on the task and handed in some excellent projects. There were posters, videos, plant pots, board games and even cakes! The students really thought about how to include the key vocabulary in a different way. Mrs. Hill would like to thank the year 7 students who put such time and effort into their homework. Many of them will be used by other students, displayed in the classroom or have taken pride of place on her desk! GREAT EUROPEAN BAKE OFF Every year the MFL team celebrate ‘European Day of Languages’ (26th September) to help raise the profile of languages and language learning, to promote the benefits of being bilingual or plurilingual and to celebrate different languages and cultures. We have been discussing this in assemblies, lessons and form time and the results of a form time quiz competition will be announced next week. For the last few years, we have launched a ‘Great European Bake Off’ Competition. We are always so impressed with the effort that goes into this and the quality of what is produced, that we decided to do it again this year. To take part, students needed to bake a typical dish of a European country or decorate cakes, cupcakes or cookies with a European theme. They could also choose to focus on one country in particular if they wanted. As ever, we had lots of entries to the competition and were thrilled with the standard of them. Clearly a lot of time and effort has gone into creating them, it is going to be very difficult to choose the overall winners. There will be a prize for everyone who entered and special prizes awarded for the ‘tastiest bakes’, ‘most European’ and ‘most creative’. The MFL team would like to thank all students who got involved this year, you have done us proud! 9
