This term there was a competition to de​sign a bookmark to promote a love of reading at Heston Community School. I chose to design my bookmark with a 'Reading Tree' and children reading. They are relaxed in different areas of the garden, enjoying their books. How many children did you spot?

I entered this competition because I love art and reading. I am so pleased that I won this competition and my art will be seen across the whole school. Congratulations to Amrit Bassi [12G] who also won with her entry showing classic literature characters such as Frankenstein, Aslan, Mathilda and Harry Potter. 

Please follow the links below to see our new Heston bookmarks.

BOOK CLUB

“Year 7 Girls’ Book club is very fun because you get to read and express your thoughts of the book to others around you. Book club is supportive because it tries to engage us to read books and book club is helpful because it shows people the fun in books and encourages them to read new books.” Eveleen Thandi 

ART CLUB

“I am so glad I got the chance to join Art Club. Art Club is fun. At the moment, we are sculpting with soap to make a snail shell! I find art relaxing and I hope to learn various art techniques.”  Vikram Singh 

CODING CLUB

“Coding Club is helpful and interesting. Since I first joined the club, coding has really developed my cognitive skills by teaching me to solve problems by looking at the problem from a different perspective. All the skills that I have learnt from coding might help me to tackle any future challenges that I face with a critical way of thinking.”  Renaya Singh 

STREET DANCE CLUB

“Street dance is fun and great for my wellbeing. It is also a good way to keep fit and have fun at the same time with your friends.”  Wiktoria Leonowicz 

HUMANITIES CLUB

“Humanities Club is really useful because it makes you want to develop your social and debating skills which can be useful in the future and will make lots of GCSEs easier because you are used to thinking in a questioning way.”  Aleeza Khokar 

'' Since I have been attending Humanities Club, I feel that I've gained a wider range of debating and expository skills. In the club, Mr Velliyattil enjoys teaching us about current news affairs, history and more! The sessions are fun, engaging, and we certainly learn a lot. Humanities Club has helped me gain confidence and develop my knowledge of the world around me.”  Jassia Kwokova 

RUNNING CLUB

“I really do enjoy running club as I believe that running is one of the best forms of exercise anyone can do, and it's available to anyone for free! Also, it is not the same repetitive running that everyone may think it is, running non-stop for an hour. Instead, we alternate between long distance, short distance and even then, Mr Juriansz always finds a way to keep it interesting.”  Kevin Afonso 

“Since I started doing yoga at school I have found myself sleeping better and a lot less stressed.” Brooke Clements, Y11

“In my opinion it has been a big gift for me to join this class. It has been really helpful during the mock exams, it has kept my mind fresh and relaxed. I think this is a good opportunity for the people in our school because it changes you physically.”

Clint Carvahlo, Y11

   

Our A and B Teams are training hard. All of our hard work paid off when both teams won 8-0 against Cranford Community School recently. Adi, Mason and Michael got the goals for the A Team. We found it easy because we practice dribbling, passing and shooting so much. We also know how to help each other get better, and we do running sometimes to build stamina.

Emmanel Acheaw, 7B

I enjoy working as a team. We have to try jumping to get our footwork right. We take test shots to help the goalie. We always have test matches and Mr Abdulla switches our positions, so we get used to different roles.
