During the first week back after half term Year 7 students went on the school’s annual visit to Towers Outdoor Education Centre in Wales. This is part of a team building exercise with Year 7 where they experience activities that rely on verbal communication skills and trust. Students can be seen undertaking the ‘Blind Trail’ wearing blackout visors and following the lead of the person in front to help guide them around the trail and back to safety. Other activities included tree climbing, rope and chain swings, zip wiring, abseiling and rock climbing. Follwing an exciting afternoon canoeing and kayaking students were allowed to have fun getting wet in the lake along with the Head of Year 7 Miss Sullivan.
Wednesfield High School hosted its first Diwali show on the evening of November 3rd. The show kicked off with a bang as our students welcomed guests into the Lakefield Hall by playing the Dhol (Indian drums). This was followed by a spectacular fashion show, involving both staff and students modelling a mix of east and west couture. Miss Evans and Mr Hughes were the special guests in the show and helped create a fun and lively atmosphere.
Ben Devaney and Joe Morris introduced the event with an explanation of Diwali and how it is celebrated around the world. This was followed by a series of performances by our students, including Katie Walker, Emily Brookes, Megan Hill, Rosie Higgs, Megan Burke, Na Yong Park, Leah Cooper, Charlotte Murphy, Casey Weston, Varinder Dhinsa and Ayush Malik. Our brilliant food department served everyone with wonderful authentic snacks, including samosa, pakoras and of course Mr Singh’s delicious chicken curry!
We ended the show with a fantastic disco where everyone, including the guests, let their hair down! The evening was a complete success and was made possible only with the hard work and dedication of all the staff and students in the school.
