ISSUE 39

HEADTEACHER’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the Spring edition of ‘Hearts’

with another two terms having passed at

lightning speed as the school continues to

thrive and develop. This has been the

busiest period for our Performing Arts

faculty as they staged this year’s main

production – Medusa. This truly excellent

musical marked a change in theme towards

a more serious topic, that of women’s

rights within show business. It was

rightfully very well received by all who

watched.

Alongside this you will see from the

proceeding pages that it has been a very

busy time. Number Week has been

redesigned and proved very popular with

pupils, including a novel new activity

involving unlocking puzzle boxes. The

Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme remains

as popular as always – with a large new

cohort achieving the Bronze Award. And of

course this year’s Comic Relief event –

Sports Relief - has taken place. I am very

happy to report that staff and pupils raised a

total of over £900 from a variety of events.

The term ahead will now focus on pupils in

Years 11 and 13 making the final

preparations for their public examinations.

During this stressful and tense period the

support and understanding of parents and

carers is essential. Ultimately the success of

our girls is down to the partnership of

home and school working together.

The term has now ended with another

moving Easter assembly led by our

dedicated staff. We can now look forward

to the summer terms when the weather

improves and pupils and staff are able to

spill out into the warm fresh air after being

indoors over winter. I would like to wish

all our girls and their families a happy and

restful Easter break overflowing with a

bounty of chocolate eggs.

WORLD MATHS DAY AND NUMBER WEEK

NUMBER WEEK

On 12th to 16th March, the Maths

Department arranged their annual

Number Week. During their maths

lessons, Year 7 investigated the

financial implications of running a

zoo. For some of the girls, this

included a trip to Wingham Wildlife

Park. Year 8 learnt about Alan Turing

and how coding played a key part in

World War 2. In addition to this The

Happy Puzzle Company came into

school and challenged Years 8, 9 and 10

to use logic and puzzle solving skills to

unlock boxes. Wednesday 14th March

saw all students involved in Pi Day

activities. The week concluded with

the Interhouse Competition where

Curie succeeded in retaining the

cup. Here are some accounts of the

week:

INTERHOUSE MATHS

COMPETITION

The Interhouse Maths Competition on

Friday 16th March was challenging.

The first round had multiple questions

and you could not answer the second

question before you had answered the

first. There was also a bonus round

which was making an icosahedron out

of truncated tetrahedrons. This

involved origami, folding paper to

make the tetrahedrons. This was

difficult to start but once we got going,

we managed to make the icosahedron!

Parks came second and I think that we

did quite well with some of the

questions but I know we could have

done better if we tried a bit harder.

Curie beat us.

WORLD MATHS DAY

On Wednesday 7th March 2018, the

world took part in World Maths Day.

Walderslade Girls’ School was one of

the hundreds of thousands of schools

that participated.

Schools across the globe competed in

a series of mental mathematics games

in order to gain points.

All students in Year 7 to 10 were

registered and many of the girls took

part in their mathematics lessons. All

students were enthusiastic and

competitive as they played each other

as well as students from around the

country and the world.

Each student competed in up to

twenty games, each one minute in

length and won points by answering

questions correctly.

The top three students from each year

group were as follows:

Year 7

Thierry Anderson (2195), Megan

Payne (2015) and Kallie Everard

(1914).

Year 8

Abigail Clements (5197), Olivia

Dalligan (1590) and Evie Woodcraft

(892)

Year 9

Shannon Brown (1064), Jasmine

Buckland (910) and Amy Sayer (909).

Year 10

Juliet Bolton (791), Nicole Hayter

(547) and Ashleigh Collins (476).

Well done to everyone who took part

in this competition!


PI DAY

Wednesday 14th March 2018 was Pi

Day. This is because the first digits of pi

are 3.14, third month, fourteenth day.

In celebration of this day, all students

took part in various different activities in

their mathematics lessons.

Some students took part in a pi paper

chain competition. Each link on the

chain contained one of the many millions

of digits of pi. The longest chain was the

winner and some of these have now been

displayed in classrooms.

Pi helps us to calculate the circumference

and area of a circle and as part of the

GCSE examination girls need to be able

to confidently use a compass. Pi Day was

the perfect time to practise these skills

and so students created pictures, which

were made up of circles. We saw beach

themes and snowmen during these

activities.

Older year groups practised their pie

chart work. Florence Nightingale is

known to have used polar area diagrams,

which is a form of pie chart, to

demonstrate the number of deaths

experienced in each month of the year,

so some of our students attempted to

illustrate this on their own pie charts.

Other students were made very hungry

by looking at pizza menus during their

lessons. They were set the task of

deciding which would be the cheapest

takeaway to purchase - a certain selection

of pizzas and sides for a party - and

displaying their findings.

We have a few creative students in the

school who decided to write a song,

poem or story for the day. We had some

excellent songs and performances in

classes and some fantastic stories, where

students had to use words to represent

the digits of pi. So for example, the first

seven digits are 3.141592. So the first

word had to have three letters, the next

one letter. An example of a story starter

was ‘How I wish I could calculate pi’.

Finally, Year 11 were set the challenge of

staring at a doughnut for the lesson

without eating it! They were asked to

investigate how much doughnut you lose

when you opt for a ring doughnut instead

of a jam one.

They used pi to calculate the volume of a

jam doughnut and then the volume of the

hole in the middle of a ring doughnut and

present their findings.

When they had completed the

investigation, they were of course

rewarded and allowed to eat the

doughnut they had been working with in

the lesson.

Many different activities running across

the day showed the students the many

ways in which we have to use pi and

circles and how it could in places relate

to everyday life.


CODING DAY

The Coding Day that took place on

Tuesday 13th March 2018 was a great

experience. Groups of six pupils put

their maths knowledge to the test and

in one hour they had to try and unlock

boxes whilst figuring out the codes

based on the instructions given. Each

box took a team effort to unlock the

padlocks, this gave an opportunity to

have fun whilst working as a team.

A Year 8 student said, ‘It was

challenging but I enjoyed putting my

maths knowledge to the test.’

‘I am glad I had a chance to try coding

and hope to do it again,’ another Year 8

student said. This coding lesson has

been an inspiration as well as a fun,

new and exciting achievement and

challenge.

Freya Parsons 8P

On the 13th March, our school got a

visit from the Happy Puzzle Company.

They bought boxes full of lots of maths

related puzzles, which required logic,

strategy and teamwork. We split into

groups of six to solve the puzzles and

open as many boxes as possible in the

one hour time limit. Opening the first

box was really difficult. We had to use

3D glasses to be able to identify some

different numbers and work out a sum.

In the end, we finally opened the

padlock on the first box and we realised

that once we knew how, it was really

easy.

Afterwards, my team and I got through

lots more puzzles and boxes until we

approached a challenge which we felt

was the hardest. The task was to stack

eight small toy chairs, on top of each

other without them falling over. This

sounded easy but they were all

different shapes, which threw us off.

As every other puzzle needed lots of

logic, we all thought we had to stack

the chairs in a very specific way. In the

end, we realised that all we had to do

was regularly stack the chairs. We had

been ahead, but we were now behind.

By the time we had stacked the chairs,

we were out of time. I found the

experience fun and I really want to do

it again; it really got my brain working.

WINGHAM WILDLIFE PARK

Due to this week being Number Week

some of Year 7 went on an exciting trip

to Wingham Wildlife Park on Thursday

15th March. As I went on this trip, I

saw many amazing animals and we saw

what it’s like to run a zoo, the animals,

the food they eat and where they have

to live. We took many spectacular

pictures of animals.

HOUSE NEWS

CURIE

It seems like only yesterday that we

were organising our Christmas games

and looking forward to a good rest.

The games were a tremendous success

and so much fun, we did not stop

laughing all morning!

This has been such a short term,

because of the ‘snow week’. However,

just as the seedlings are all about to

emerge from the icy ground, our Curie

cubs have been busy being champions,

winning competitions, raising funds

and planning new ventures.

Our Year 7 Easter Bonnet Competition

has been a great success, with Curie

making an ‘eggcellent’ selection of

creative pieces again; winners for 7C

were Lilly Heasman and Rebecca

Collins who were both highly

commended and Kaitlyn Bird was one

of our winners, securing a seat at the

Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.

Hot off the press we have also heard

that Curie have once again won the

Interhouse Maths Competition! A very

big well done to Emily Hinkley, Emilia

Wareham, Sophie Adzic, Skye McKaya-

Byfield and Megan Xiouris for their

incredible efforts.

Girls from 8C have been collecting for

the Marie Curie Cancer Care Daffodil

appeal and although it’s early days, the

pots are feeling heavy and it looks like

we will again raise a lot of money for

our charity. Well done to our charity

reps – Emily Whitton, Maria Farooq

and Chloe Bowles, for their huge effort

with this cause.

Lastly, I have put a call out for budding

gardeners who will be planting up a

new organic vegetable garden for

Curie, which is so exciting! I look

forward to posting photos about this in

our next newsletter.

I hope that everyone in Curie House,

both students and staff, has a

wonderful and very well earnt rest over

the holidays.

Wishing you a very happy Spring

break.

Be Courageous, Be Creative, be Champions!


PARKS

This term we had hoped to have a

tombola to raise funds towards our

chosen Charity , MiND: however, we

are still looking for some more

donations to be used as prizes. Our

Year 7s felt holding a tombola would

be a more interesting way of raising

funds rather than the usual cake sales

although they certainly haven’t written

off a cake sale later in the year! Parks

have enjoyed some successes this term

in the interhouse competitions, most

recently in Number Week. Our team

in the Friday assembly managed first

place, and also I’m told scored the most

points in the combined Thursday and

Friday assemblies! Overall Parks came

second in the main Interhouse Maths.

Well done Parks.

Mr Knight

CHARITY REPORT

This term we held a cake sale for a

young girl that we as Charity Reps have

chosen to support. We are raising

money for Levet in Zimbabwe so we

can help her monthly. Last year at

Christmas we sent a pencil case:

rubbers, pens, pencils, mini notepads

etc. all printed with Walderslade Girls’

School. We also sent a very big card

signed with all the Charity reps’ names.

We have had meetings to create ideas

for the charities that we support; we

have also been having fun ideas for

themed days to raise money for Levet

and the selected charities.

NUMBER WEEK

This term we have had Number Week

2018. It started on Monday 12th March

and then on the 14th it was Pi day,

March being the third month so it was

3.14. Some classes made paper chains

or pictures with circles on to be like pie

charts.

INTERHOUSE MATHS

COMPETITION

On Friday 16th March the Interhouse

Maths Competition was held, as part of

Number Week.

There were five rounds in total,

including a bonus round.

According to Lucy in 7F, the first few

rounds were exceptionally challenging

for her; they were based on past GCSE

questions. Fortunately her team mates

from the upper year groups were able

to solve them while she concentrated

on the bonus questions.

At the start people found the bonus

round tricky, not for long though. Lucy

told us she only found it a little bit hard

as, because she kept on trying, in a

matter of moments she was able to

memorize the instructions.

Fry and Austen unfortunately came

joint fifth in the competition, while

Curie were flying high in first place.

Parks came second – not too far behind

Curie.

YEAR 8 SPRING HOMEWORK PROJECT: THE CHANGING ROLE OF WOMEN

Due in Monday 4 June 2018

There will be prizes for the best work which will be displayed in school

In recognition of the fact that it is 100 years since women gained the vote in the UK, all girls are expected to complete a project

about the changing role of women in society over the past 100 years.

The project could include:

The history of the suffragette movement

Key dates and changes in the law that have affected women.

Ways in which education and careers have progressed

Advances that have affected women in the home and family

Changes in fashion and technological developments

You could also interview members of your family about the changes they have experienced and/or carry out research about

inspirational women from the past 100 years.

YEAR 8

Year 8 students have had an exciting

term and it was encouraging to see so

many girls taking part in the school

production of Medusa in February.

This dedication showed their

commitment to school life and all our

students enjoyed watching the show

and supporting their peers.

Students have been taking part in small

group careers interviews and they

report that these have been really useful

in helping them think about their

future, and have helped them realise

the importance of qualifications.

In MSC lessons girls have continued to

learn more about how to prevent

bullying and I have been very impressed

by random acts of kindness that girls

have shown towards each other.

Students have also explored the dangers

of alcohol and made up role plays and

adverts which they enjoyed presenting

to their peers.

Mrs Jackson, a dementia support

worker, came in to talk to Year 8 about

what dementia means and how we can

help people with this illness. This

presentation really helped our girls

learn more about this important topic.

Several girls have written down their

Aims and Aspirations to be published

on the Year 8 web page. Well done

girls. You have a wonderful future

ahead of you and are working hard at

school to get your qualifications so that

you can achieve your aspirations.

Mrs Cox

DEMENTIA ASSEMBLY REPORT

Thank you to 8F for preforming a very

factual assembly that has taught us to be

more understanding and patient, not

just with people with dementia but

with everyone. Mrs Jackson led the

assembly; she has worked with people

who have dementia. Students

commented, ‘You can understand what

they are going through without judging

them and seeing through their eyes a bit

better’, and ‘I liked that the students

got involved and helped with a heartfelt

assembly and that I learnt a lot from it.’

We learnt a lot about this subject, and

we look forward to many more

fantastic assemblies on such interesting

topics.

Freya Parsons 8P


YEAR 9

We are now over half way through the

academic year and a lot has happened

within the curriculum and in the wider

curricular programme.

The GCSE and option subjects are

established. There have also been many

opportunities open to all girls to encourage

general wellbeing and confidence. These

include the Beginners to Runners

programme, the school production of

Medusa, the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme

and national initiatives like National Poetry

day. This is in addition to participation in

interschool and interhouse events which is

always encouraged, and working to support

charity events.

Miss Hatton

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme

is very much established and the girls

are frantically preparing for their

practice and assessed expedition and

camping weekends which take place

during Terms 5 and 6. Lily Ashby in 9C

has written:

I am enjoying doing the Duke of Edinburgh

Award Scheme. The hardest part of the

award so far was finding somewhere to

volunteer, finding a physical activity and a

skill to follow.

Eventually I volunteered to work with the

SEN department at school. I help my buddy

with maths; I help with multiplication,

counting and addition.

For the physical activity, my mum helped

me find somewhere and it happened to be

trampolining which I do every Wednesday

for one hour. I like it but it affects my back

and legs if I jump non-stop.

Then for my skill, I decided to do drawing.

I thought that this was ideal because I like

to draw and I practice my skills every day. I

would like to become better at painting.

All of this has to be submitted on the

official website, and unfortunately my first

submission was disapproved because I

wrongly set myself up as the assessor. I

have corrected this and someone else is my

assessor. I have to show them my

improvements when I finish the bronze

award.

All of this takes a long time but it is very

exciting.

Courtney Ingleby has written about her

experience of joining the school and the

year group at the beginning of Term 3.

When I started Walderslade Girls’ School, I

was very nervous. It was a huge difference

joining an all-girls school; it is also the first

time that I have lived in Kent. I am slowly

getting used to the school but it is very

different to my old school.

At first I felt I was not going to fit in, but I

have started to talk to people and they have

become my friends. I am used to a bigger

school and I found the canteen and dining

room here to be very small and crowded

but I am getting used to it.

When I started going to my lessons I

thought that it was difficult to understand

the work especially in science because they

were already half way through a topic, and I

felt left behind. The teachers here also have

different teaching strategies. I am slowly

getting used to this as well.

Two poignant poems were submitted

for National Poetry Day:

Beauty

Beauty is not about how you look,

To see beauty you must view it as you would a book.

You have to look between the lines,

When you do, it is true beauty you will find.

Just like the pages you turn,

We are fragile and need to learn.

That’s what makes us beautiful from within,

Despite the insecurities that can sting.

You are beautiful in every way,

Even if you don’t have any make up on today!

Millie Landamore 9J

Freedom

Freedom,

It feels like a foreign language,

A foreign language she tries to learn

But,

She can never get it right.

Freedom,

Always told he’ll have it when he grows,

But,

He’s never tall enough to reach it.

Freedom is never handed to you.

You need to try hard to learn it.

You need to climb high to reach it.

You need to FIGHT for it.

YEAR 11

CARE4CALAIS

Saturday 10th March:

Off to Calais again - the weather

outside is cold and dry at the moment.

We left at 5.30am, there were nine of

us this time going out; three in the

group were first timers.

We arrived at the warehouse and

unpacked the cars. This time we’d

brought dried fruit and nuts which are

one of the luxury items most requested

by the refugees, especially dates (a taste

of home).

We signed our legal documents and

went to work. I went straight to the

sewing area as the lady in charge of the

warehouse that day said a lot needed

mending. Sadly the pin that holds the

needle in the industrial sewing machine

which we took out before had been lost

so we were unable to do that job. My

friend and I were then asked to sort a

new section of the warehouse out that

is now needed for women’s things as

the need has risen greatly. We then

helped load the vans that were going

out on a distribution that morning.

Once that was done and had left we

went back to the sorting area, by this

time the lads had joined us from

working outside in the wood yard, due

to torrential rain. The atmosphere in

the warehouse is so infectious everyone

just gets on. There were a huge coach

load of volunteers from USA alongside

French and Belgians.

The lunch bell sounded an we all got

together to share another delicious

meal, which is always very filling and

warm. I got talking to one of the lead

workers about the need for food still as

I had heard that the government had

agreed to do food stations and feed the

refugees. She said that the refugees are

very wary of this distribution as it is

highly guarded and they feel unsafe.

Because of this the meals are still being

cooked and sent out from the

warehouse but she did say they are

speaking to the refugees and trying to

encourage them to go there or the

message will go back that no help is

needed at all.

After lunch the over 18s in our group

went in to do distribution training

while we went back to sorting

underwear and clothes for the next

distribution.

On the way home I was quite taken

aback to see such a police presence at

the distribution site near one of the

roundabouts. It was very intimidating

as all the police had guns and were

removing things from the refugees, as I

mentioned earlier the weather was cold

and very wet; I was glad to be in a

warm car going back to a warm home

surrounded by love and protection, the

things that we take for granted.

We were all tired and to say we

enjoyed the day seems wrong but we

all had a good feeling and have already

planned when we can go again. In the

meantime I need to source a new pin

for the sewing machine so that it can be

used again.

Thank you for your support as always.

Currently in Ethics, we are studying

Hinduism and looking at Hindu puja. The

puja is another way of saying worship. The

puja can be done at home or at the Mandir

(temple).

When Hindus worship they use things like

the bell which is rung to tell the gods that

the worshipper has come to worship. They

also use the Vedas (holy book) which is

sometimes kept on Hindu puja shrines at

home. They use arti lamps which are used

because Hindus believe that fire cleanses.

They also use prayer beads called Japa Mala

to keep count of the prayers or mantras

that are said.

They have food and flowers to offer the

gods during worship. They also use incense

to clean the air and bring a lovely scent for

the gods.

The Aum symbol is shown on Hindu

Shrines because it is the sacred sound that

was heard at the beginning of the earth and

creation.

During the Arti ceremony, Hindus light the

lamps using ghee butter, the worshippers

then take the smoke from the incense over

their heads to cleanse them for the day.

They then perform chants or hymns called

Bhajan to show their devotion to Brahman.

They would then wash the murtis and dress

them in clothes for the day. Worshippers

would then smear red powder (or kum

kum powder) on the murti and then on the

worshipper’s forehead. Once the hymns

have been sung, worshippers would share

the prashad (which is blessed food).
