                           Remote Learning
At Windsor Girls’ School, we are committed to ensuring that every student makes excellent progress,
develops outstanding character and is successful in life, education and employment. Whilst our
school building is only partially open, our commitment to ensuring every student Aspires, Advances
and Achieves their full potential is as strong as ever in remote learning. We hope this week’s
newsletter gives you a flavour of remote learning. We would like to thank parents and carers for
their hard work so far in encouraging students to engage with schoolwork at home. Teachers have
received some outstanding work this week, live lessons and Tutor time have been well attended and
it is fantastic to see students actively participating in these sessions. Elsewhere, it has been a busy
week with our Sixth Form students finalising the last of their UCAS applications and we have been
delighted to hear of many of our students receiving offers from Universities.

Dear Parents and Carers

A week into the new term and remote learning and we are very pleased to see that our students are
becoming familiar with the new procedures and routines involved with this way of working. To
support our students, we sent out a Remote Learning document this week explaining the Windsor
Girls’ School expectations for working remotely and offering advice on how to organise study time
both online and working independently. We hope that both students and parents will find this useful.

Staff INSET this week was also focused on Remote Learning and Teaching. Staff looked at how to
make the most effective use of platforms and tools for remote teaching so that we can offer the best
experience for our students.

Today (Friday) our Year 13s have been participating in Study Skills sessions which have run
alongside their usual lessons. These sessions are aimed at improving these skills for working now
and in the future.

Next week we are very much looking forward to the first Community Week of the calendar year. The
topic is Wellbeing which holds significance now more than ever. Students will complete daily tasks
to support with their mental health and wellbeing.

Finally, we are delighted that two of our students have been offered places at Oxford to study next
year. Many congratulations to both of them. We look forward to updating you with further news on
offers from a range of Universities over the coming weeks.

We wish you all a safe and happy weekend.

Julian Opie Biography – Freya H 9EB

Julian Opie was born in 1958 in London. He was raised in the city of Oxford and attended
Magdalen College School, Oxford, from 1972 to 1977. Opie graduated in 1982 from
Goldsmiths, University of London, where he was taught by conceptual artist and painter
Michael Craig-Martin. He is now a sculptor and digital artist associated with the New
British Sculpture Movement and he is best known for portraits that reduce subjects to
essential lines and colour planes.

Julian Opie artwork evaluation
                                            Bryan plays guitar was completed by Julian Opie in
                                            2004. This piece of work is very bright and colourful.
                                            I think the artist is trying to create a happy feeling
                                            from this artwork because yellow is normally a
                                            happy and exciting colour. Also, by Bryan playing a
                                            guitar it might make people think of the sound of a
                                            guitar and music which usually picks people’s
                                            moods up and makes them feel better if they are
                                            down. I think the artist worked from memory as
                                            well as imagination. I think this because it could be
                                            a memory of someone playing a guitar but also
                                            imagination for the bright colours and way of
                                            drawing Bryan. This work makes me feel joyful
                                            because of the yellow which normally suggests being
                                            in a good mood.

 Paper heads was completed by Julian
 Opie in 2019. This piece of work is also
 very colourful with the different
 background colours. I think the artist
 is trying to give a feeling of equality
 with this piece of artwork as each
 picture shows women from different
 race or cultures, but they are all the
 same. I think the artist might have
 worked from memory but also maybe
 used photos. This work makes me feel
 happy and also that maybe there is
 hope that equality exists in our world
 and there is no racism or prejudice.

Art
Karel Dujardin was born on September 27 th 1626 and died on November 20th 1678. He was a Dutch
golden age painter. Although he did some images and artwork of spiritual subjects, most of his
paintings are small Italianate panorama scenes with animals and peasants. Dujardin spent
prolonged periods at the start and end of his career, in Italy.

The paintings have a very orange tone and there are horses, dogs houses and people in both
drawings. In one of them there’s a man laying on the floor with a horse next to him and dogs around
him, there’s a mountain behind them and the sky is bright blue with a few clouds in it. In the other
painting there are two women and one man sitting at a table next to a house that has vines on a
section of the roof and there are two horses standing in front of the table.

Students in Years 9, 10 & 11 have been taking on the 'Netflex' challenge this week. The 'Netflex'
challenge includes a number of series for the students to enjoy. Different genres are available,
including Dance, Yoga, Pilates and Full body workouts. We've challenged students to complete a
series from each section this week and have had some great feedback from students. Paula
Nowak, Year 10, enjoyed completing different workouts including core muscle groups and Yoga;
other students have decided to get family involved with their workouts which is fantastic to see!

Food and Nutrition
We have two groups on rotation in Year 9 in Food. Over the last two weeks they have been learning
about the following:

Bread - understanding how to make bread and the functions of ingredients such yeast and gluten.
They have then been asked to cook bread or pizza at home.

Pastry - understanding different types of pastry, their properties and classic dishes made with each
type of pastry. They have been asked to make puff pastry tarts at home.

They have produced some lovely cooking.
Food and Nutrition
Year 10 have been busy studying "Cereals" ready for a test next week.
As part of that they have completed a risotto practical and will be
cooking quiches in the next few days, to help them understand the
versatility of cereal products. The Catering class are due to produce
fruit tartlets - so look out for more pictures in future newsletters.

Year 11 Caterers have been trialling dishes that they may want to cook
in their practical exam on their return to school.
ICT
ICT - Year 9

As we start the year in a lockdown situation we want to give the students a
chance to explore Technology in a wider sense. With that in mind, we are
using the iDEA programme from the Government, effectively a ‘Digital Duke of
Edinburgh’, and standing for Inspiring Digital Enterprise Award. The portal
has a wide range of badges that students can explore and it’s a great way to
develop their skills and interests for the future – they are also recognised
badges that can be included on CV’s, applications and platforms such as
Unifrog in ‘Learning to Work’ and post 16 Education plans.

We’ve asked the students to create an account using this site (https://idea.org.uk/x/WGS-2021) as it
will link to the Windsor Girls’ School profile, then complete these badges:

There are lots of badges covering all aspects of Technology and we’ve
encouraged the students to explore them over the coming month.

Computer Science – Year 10

To support the students during the lockdown period and
beyond we have invested in a great third party platform
called ‘Craig’n’Dave’ who provide videos, content and
activities to develop learning. This month the students are
exploring what causes performance issues on modern
Networks – which is very appropriate in our new world of
remote working with platforms such as Teams and Zoom.

                                   Computer Science – Year 11

                                   To support the practical element of Component 2, the students
                                   are working through the online tutorials for the programming
                                   language Python on:
                                   https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_intro.asp
                                   This provides a great online way of progressing their knowledge
                                   and skills during remote learning.

                                         Sociology
    This week Year 13 Sociology students have been studying the topic of secularisation. They have
    been looking at debates around the claim that religion is less influential in people’s lives today than it
    was in the past. They have considered the evidence to support the secularisation theory and also
    the evidence that challenges it. We have investigated the problems associated with research
    methods used to measure secularisation. Students have been encouraged to speak to elderly
    members of their family or friends to discover if their experience of religion is different e.g. was
    society more religious when they were growing up?, do people become more religious as they get
    older? We explored the impact of today’s global mass media on religion and the impact of the
    pandemic on religious practice. We have discussed the reasons for secularisation and the claim
    that, with industrialisation, science became the dominant belief system and replaced religion. As
    ever, Sociology proves such a topical and current subject and we have pondered the question of
    whether the rising distrust associated with science in recent decades will be overturned given the
    current pandemic and the hope that is being place in science and a vaccine.

    Year 12 Sociology students have started using Seneca Learning to support them in their remote
    learning. Tasks have been assigned on the topic of Families and Households completed before
    Christmas and this will be an excellent resource to assist students with revision of this topic. In our
    remote lessons we have been studying class differences in educational achievement and we have
    explored the reasons why some social classes do better than others in the education system. This
    week we have explored the argument that the home background is the most important influence on
    children’s educational attainment, in particular the way in which parents socialise children. Next
    week we will look at the impact of material factors, i.e. poverty, on children’s educational attainment.
    Again, the pandemic and current events present us with many opportunities for interesting
    discussion. We will make good use of current affairs to assist in our understanding of the topic e.g.
    government policies around free school meals and laptops for children during the pandemic.
Science
Year 11 students have been learning about cloning techniques for plants and animals as they begin
their remote learning journey. During their live lesson they learnt about plant tissue culture, embryo
transplants and adult cell cloning. Optional extension work was provided and those students with a
keen interest in Ethics have completed a newspaper style article that discusses the social and
ethical issues around animal cloning.

Lastly, some religions may agree with cloning, such as Islam.
The Qur'an teaches the value of preserving human
life, ‘whoever saves a life - it is as if he had saved humankind
entirely’ (Qur'an 5:32). For this reason, many Muslims might
consider that the benefits of lives saved by cloning cells or
organs for medical reasons, mean cloning is morally
acceptable. To conclude, cloning is beneficial because of the
lives that can be saved, through organ donations, infertile
people having a child and filling a void.

However, cloning has been deemed as unethical due to
religious reasons. Some people believe cloning interferes
with God’s role as a creator and might interfere with the
natural course of evolution or be misused by malevolent
people. Christians believe God is the Designer and
Craftsman of everything in the universe, and He created
human beings a step above all the rest. By breathing His
own life into that man, He created the man and woman “in
His own image” (Genesis 1:27). That means that human
beings are more like God than any other created thing.

 can sometimes be overwhelming and hard to manage. Below, the Wellbeing
committee have organised the best ways to manage it, to make your lockdown
                        as productive as possible!

    Make sure you tick off assignments as you go along, this makes it clearer on what other tasks
    you have left and gives you a sense of accomplishment every time you complete something.
   Plan what work you are going to do each day so you don’t feel overwhelmed when logging onto
    Show My Homework.
   Read each assignment clearly and take note of when it is due. This will help you plan how long
    you need to complete it.
   It’s always a good idea to use your Windsor Girls’ School planner to keep track of deadlines and
    any other bits of revision you need to do. This will also be useful if the internet stops working at
    any point during lockdown, so you’re always prepared!
