• Year 11 TWBS House Events

  Fri 19 Nov 2021

  In last Friday’s sunshine, the Year 11 boys finally had their opportunity to take part in one of the House activities – Rugby, Table Tennis, Creative Writing, Invention or Art. It was also a suitably relaxed and different way to end the fortnight of mock examinations that the cohort had sat through, so was roundly welcomed by boys and staff alike!!

   

  In rugby the matches were hotly contested and new talent unearthed (yes, you Leo Godwin, Peter Brant, Ben Pleace and Luke Phillips!!!) and the standard of rugby was superb. Ultimately Burnett were victorious over Ottrey in the final (winning three out of the four House Rugby events overall!!).

   

  Burnett were truly the champion House for Year 11 as they romped to victory, in not only the rugby but also the Table Tennis, Creative Writing and Invention!! Only Warwick were able to claim a victory with a superb piece of Pointillism in Art, and even then Burnett finished in second place!!

  

• Year 11 Creative Writing House Competition

  Thu 18 Nov 2021

  On Wednesday we had students competing in our Creative Writing Challenge.  It was a delight to see so many students writing and presenting excellent pieces.

  The challenge was to take a photograph of a place in the school to inspire their writing and we had some excellent entries!

  Congratulations to Dylan Price and Ethan Gunter who were the champions for Burnett House.  Here’s the photo and piece of writing they created:

   

  Frozen in time

  There she stood on her pedestal of stone. A figure un-brandished by time. A figure un-bewildered by the world around her and a figure rendered immobile, trapped in her iconic pose, enriching the somber silence of the garden with the hollow sound of a violin.

  The amber, auburn and Crimson of autumn foliage littered the emerald, green grass. This does not surprise me.
  As I see three pillars of living wood extend and reach for the grey stricken sky.
  Two of which were freckled with streaks of white the other an ominous shade of dark brown.

  The quiet rustle of leaves compliments the serenity of the garden.
  The distant echo of a car parking reverberates through the solemn brick passage which wraps around the garden like a serpent constricting its prey.
  I sit on a solitary bench under the canopy of falling leaves.
  I exhale……………………………A plume of thin cloud embraces the freezing air.
  I inhale…………………………….The scent of damp earth and woodsmoke fills my nose.

  My heart starts to impose a rhythm of unnatural speed and beauty.  I feel invigorated and smile.
  This place truly puts me in a peaceful state of mind the statue and I, together, are frozen in time.

• TVLP Art Competition

  Thu 04 Nov 2021

  Students from the Windsor Boys’ school submitted entries for this autumn’s TVLP Nature Art Competition. A student from The Langley Academy has won, however three students from the Windsor Boys’ School were chosen as commended entries.

  The student works chosen were by Brandon McCulley, John Valdez, and Thomas Stapleton which can be seen below.

   

  Thomas painted the butterfly in the style of Vincent Van Gogh. Brandon painted the fox and John painted the Flamingo both in the style of British artist Dave White.

  I’m delighted to announce that Wexham Park Hospital will be displaying poster versions of the work by the TVLP schools in November, for patients and visitors to admire. The works of Thomas, Brandon and John will be amongst the works displayed in the Hospital. A copy of this poster can also be seen below.
