There's been lots of new events too, such as the Spelling Bee, The Mindrace, The Junior Easter Egg Hunt, environmental challenges, young musicians, and the Royal Academy Art Competition to name a few.\u00a0 Lots of house points have been up for grabs! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, students at Wakefield Girls\u2019 have amassed a staggering 46,000 House points - earning them via merits, stars, and of course participating in or winning House events.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The House system is about trying new things, making new friends and being 10% braver, and we hope all of our students have felt like they have accomplished these three goals over the past year.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The culmination of all of our House events took place today, Thursday 6th July, in our grand\u00a0 House Finale. All students were out of lessons, and came together as Houses to celebrate the day together.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the morning, students came together in their House Forms for a very special creative task -\u00a0 to make a gigantic House banner to represent themselves as individuals which also links back to their House. Each House banner was then created using each individual's small square design, e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mbroidered, sewn or glued into position.\u00a0 The real highlight was witnessing\u00a0 each House proudly carrying their House banners as they headed to the Quad to rehearse an aerial display spelling out their House name.\u00a0 Judged on organisation, speed, accuracy and creativity in doing this task, there were, of course, many more House points up for grabs !<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a relaxing and sociable American takeaway themed lunch in the sunny Quad, everyone headed - with their House banners held high -\u00a0 to the games fields for the afternoon Colour Run, in support of Wakefield Pride, and Tug of War competition.\u00a0 As well as enthusiastic competitors, there were plenty of enthusiastic supporters fuelled by House tuck shops brilliantly managed by our Year 10 students.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The House Finale came to a close with the awarding of the prestigious trophy to the overall winning House of this academic year: Clayton House.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congratulations to Clayton and everyone in school for making your own Houses very special places to be !<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you would like to donate to our fundraiser for the Colour Run: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/page\/wakefield-girls-high-school-1688422151382\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/page\/wakefield-girls-high-school-1688422151382<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<div class=\"align-none\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5936-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"776\" height=\"518\" \/>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<b>Mrs K Varley<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>House Coordinator<\/b>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"],"_post_content_0_wysiwyg_content":["field_6101504d52250"],"post_content":["a:1:{i:0;s:7:\"wysiwyg\";}"],"_post_content":["field_610150165224f"],"show_on_foundation_site":["0"],"_show_on_foundation_site":["field_61af723bd88e3"],"title":[""],"_title":["field_60eda52c780c0"],"content":[""],"_content":["field_60f5820faa737"],"description":[""],"_description":["field_62b2dc8959b81"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":["11"],"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":["0"],"_yoast_wpseo_wordproof_timestamp":[""],"wpb_post_views_count":["1007"],"_thumbnail_id":["4327"],"_wp_old_date":["2023-07-04"],"_uag_page_assets":["a:9:{s:3:\"css\";s:0:\"\";s:2:\"js\";s:0:\"\";s:18:\"current_block_list\";a:0:{}s:8:\"uag_flag\";b:0;s:11:\"uag_version\";s:10:\"1782984490\";s:6:\"gfonts\";a:0:{}s:10:\"gfonts_url\";s:0:\"\";s:12:\"gfonts_files\";a:0:{}s:14:\"uag_faq_layout\";b:0;}"]},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-scaled.jpeg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-300x200.jpeg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-768x512.jpeg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-1024x683.jpeg",1024,683,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-1536x1024.jpeg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-2048x1365.jpeg",2048,1365,true],"fullscreen":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-1920x1080.jpeg",1920,1080,true],"page-header":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-1680x770.jpeg",1680,770,true],"video":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-1280x720.jpeg",1280,720,true],"80x80":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-80x80.jpeg",80,80,true],"600x560":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-600x560.jpeg",600,560,true],"card":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-600x405.jpeg",600,405,true],"100x70":["https:\/\/assets.wgsf.org.uk\/2023\/07\/IMG_5935-100x70.jpeg",100,70,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"harry","author_link":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/author\/harry\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4270"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsf.org.uk\/wghs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
