2 The GRIFFIN 2 February

On 16th January Mrs Johnston and Ms Morkane accompanied three Year 9 students to the local Rotary Club Youth Speaks com-petition. The students only had a short couple of weeks to prepare their formal speeches on a topic of their choice and even though they did not win, they put in a phenomenal effort and did a great job of speaking formally in front of the judges and an audience of other schools. Please see the articles below written by our stu-dents. Sen also received a com-mendation for the Vote of Thanks he gave.

It was 6:00pm in the evening after school when myself, Adam Fennell and Thomas Whiting took part in a youth speaks competition hosted by the Rotary Club at New Malden Methodist Church. Many schools within the Borough came to compete against us, in this com-petition, many of them are well known schools such as; Richard Challoner School, Coombe Girls School and six other competitive schools. Each of these schools (in-cluding us) had to choose a topic that we were going to talk about on that evening. We chose home-lessness as it is very interesting and one of the most brought up topics within our modern soci-ety. Each of the schools were only allowed three members; the Chairman , the Main Speaker and finally the Vote of Thanks. I was the Vote of Thanks, Adam was the Main Speaker and Thomas was the Chairman. On the eve-ning there were many interesting topics. Then near the end it was our turn, I thought it would be a piece of cake but I was proven wrong. As I got on to the stage with Adam and Thomas you get this strange feeling, as the judg-es just peer at you in the eye and the audience just watching, there was just a lot of pressure. Even though we didn’t win, we did have a lot of fun, as this was a great

experience for us in front of a massive crowd and we will prob-ably feel better doing it next time if we are chosen again. I would recommend this to people who would like to have an opportunity of doing Public Speaking contests, so you can improve your speaking talents and conquer your fears of performing in front of a crowd.

At 6:00pm on Tuesday, 16th January, Tom Whiting, Senthuran Aruchelvan and I went to the

Methodist Church in New Mal-den for the Youth Speaking Com-

petition hosted by the RotaryClub. We had spent the last

week practising and rehearsing our speech on our chosen topic

of homelessness, talking about what it is and how it could be pre-vented. The competition

was a very formal event, where we were competing against six other schools all made up of

three members: the Chair-man, the Main Speaker and the Vote of Thanks. I was the Main

Speaker and had to spend six minutes delivering my speech to the audience, which I had

memorised beforehand. It was all timed and I also had to answer a question which I didn’t

know before, meaning I had to reply spontaneously. Although we didn’t win, and public

speaking was very nerve rack-ing, we all had a great time. Some of the other speeches were

also very interesting, with ti-tles including “Is Water Wet?” and “Should We Bring Back

Dinosaurs If We Could?” I would highly recommend people to take a chance such as this if given

the opportunity, to learn, im-prove your public speaking skills and to also have some fun.

2 February The GRIFFIN 3

The official title of the Houses of Parliament is the New Palace of Westminster. The name reminds us that the earliest Parliaments were consultations between the King and his closest followers, to-gether with representatives of the Church, held at his London resi-dence, the original Westminster Palace. The Houses of Parliament combine spectacular architecture with a fascinating history. Locat-ed next door to Westminster Ab-bey and inextricably linked to it by history, the Houses of Parliament is a fabulous place to visit, as our Year 10 History students found out last week.

With a tour booking set for 9am sharp on Tuesday 23 January, stu-dents really had to demonstrate their commitment to learning by meeting up at Surbiton station at 7am for a train journey up to Lon-don.

A number of tour guides greet-ed staff and students in the oldest part of the building, namely West-minster Hall, which dates back to the reign of King William II. Built in 1097, it is the oldest ceremoni-al hall in Britain and was the larg-est hall in Europe for many years.

The knowledgeable tour guides took the boys around the site, in-cluding both the House of Lords and the House of Commons, tell-ing them all about its history, in-cluding how Charles I was execut-ed nearby outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall after a disas-trous clash with Parliament and how a faction of unhappy subjects had attempted to assassinate James I by blowing up the Hous-es of Parliament. We, of course, remember this each year on Guy Fawkes Night.

The Griffin caught up with two Year 10 students who had taken part in the trip, namely Sinthujan Vivekanandan (10CTA)and Aiden Hackman (10GWA).

Both students told the Griffin Reporter that they were surprised

how small both the House of Lords and House of Commons appeared in ‘real life’. Like many students, they had often seen MPs debat-ing – or arguing – on TV within the Houses of Commons and they loved the fact that they were able to stand where current and past Prime Ministers had stood!

Sinthujan and Aiden spoke about ‘prayer cards’, the method by which MPs had to ‘book’ a seat each time they attended Parlia-ment. They learnt that tradition-ally, MPs frequented local pubs which were only a few minutes running distance, so that when they heard the bell to attend, they had just enough time to run back and claim their seat! They learnt also about the origins of where the term ‘it’s in the bag’ came from

and how the Monarch comes to Parliament generally once a year for the State Opening of Parlia-ment, only being allowed as far as the Throne in the House of Lords. To go any further, the boys learnt, would be seen as an attempt to interfere with the workings of the elected Commons!

The highlight of the morning, both boys agreed, was meeting Ed Davey, MP for Kingston and Surbiton. Ed took time out to chat with nearly every one of our group of students, discussing top-ics as wide as the environmental concerns he has for our commu-nity, his work supporting Tolworth Hospital, Brexit, social housing , not to mention his passion to en-sure that education receives bet-ter funding in the future!

It was a great morning out and on behalf of the school, we’d like to thank the tour guides for sharing their fabulous insights and knowl-edge with our students. Many thanks also to History teacher Dr Benzing-Shears for organising the event and Mr Needs and Ms Lamb for accompanying the students on such a worthwhile and interesting trip.

4 The GRIFFIN 2 February

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, a number of our talented students went ‘on tour’ to perform at a number of local primary schools, playing pop, jazz and rock sets. The idea be-hind it was to encourage young-er students in the community to think about learning instruments and secondly, to hopefully get students from both primary and secondary working together for musical performances in the fu-ture.

Three bands (pop, jazz, and rock) visited Lovelace Primary School, Ellingham Primary and St Mary’s Primary school on Tuesday and in the words of the music teacher at Lovelace com-mented “They absolutely wowed all of our children and staff with a very professional concert. In-deed, it was hard to believe that some of the students on stage were only in Year 8. The boys behaved impeccably from the moment they arrived, working as a team to carry their equip-ment up to one of our halls and then set up. They then intro-duced the concert themselves and played some fantastic mu-sic. They sounded so well-re-hearsed and incredibly profes-sional. There was some genuine talent on show and clearly all of these boys have worked hard and put in hours and hours of practice in order to get as good as they are.”

On Wednesday they played for three more primary schools – St Andrew’s and St Mark’s, Castle Hill and St Matthew’s. All six primary schools commented that they had loved the variety of music and that every sin-gle Southborough student had clearly made an effort to choose music that would appeal to a primary school audience. At

the end of each performance, our boys took questions from the younger children and gave great answers explaining how long they’d been playing for,

why they play, and were happy to give out advice.

Feedback from all six prima-ry schools suggested that our boys’ performances had real-

Primary Schools!

ly inspired many of their chil-dren and they were sure that some of them would be beg-ging their parents to learn in-struments when they returned home in the evening! Indeed, it was clear that the tour provid-ed our Southborough boys with excellent performance experi-ence and for those doing GCSE Music, there’s no doubt that the experience will really help them. The boys really support-ed one another as well. If they weren’t playing in a particular song, they were watching from the wings and really cheering their friends on.

Once each performance end-ed, our boys again worked so well together to carry every-thing to their minibuses. Staff commented that they were po-lite and helpful and a real credit to our school. Quite a number of their Year 6 boys are planning to go to Southborough, and they were particularly excited following the concert!

We’d like to say a big thank you to all six primary schools for being such fantastic hosts. They were all so incredibly wel-coming. We’d also like to say a huge thank you to our won-derful Head of Music, Ms Wat-kins, who worked tirelessly with our students to ensure that the performances over the two day period were fabulous.

Finally, a big ‘WELL DONE’ to all our amazing musicians who performed and entertained so brilliantly, namely:

Adam Fennell, Harry Fennell, Tom Whiting, Jaden Akomolafe Ubah, Gok Nanthakumaran, George Russell, Clive Donald-son, Alex Gardner, Alex Finnie, Sam Finnie, Aaron Lomanto and Reuben Sinclair.

STEM NEWS

What is it and why is it so ground breaking and vital?

At Southborough we strong-ly believe in the importance of embedding STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) learning into the cur-riculum. STEM subjects are a real focus for us and the gov-ernment this year, especially as 2018 has been launched

Nationally as 'The Year of En-gineering'.

There is currently a large short fall of individuals in these areas of industry, and to this end, schools are being en-couraged to let all pupils have the chance to work on STEM projects. Project based work embeds strong problem solv-ing skills, the design and build

of creative solutions, team work and most importantly the meshing of ideas from different disciplines - further developing their knowledge and skills in those areas.

Below are some summaries of the work being done in var-ious areas this year under the umbrella theme: Nutrition and Technology

The Year 8 STEM Carousel

In the Year 8 carousel students are introduced to architectural drawing, exploring one and two point perspective drawing tech-niques focusing on dynamic precision, line and point of view. The course is set up as a series of design challenges looking at the construction of basic solid shapes, moving through an exploration of internal and external space. Finally young people if they stretch themselves design their own building and are introduced to concep-tual modelling techniques.

Year 8 students have been discovering the possibilities of programming a BBC micro: bit – a train ticket-sized computer powered from a USB cable. The challenge that they are faced with is to get the most from a device with has a screen of twenty-five LEDs and just two input buttons, as well as mas-tering a new block-based pro-gramming language.

What is the point? lt is all about the processes of tackling something new (and hopefully exciting too), facing challenges,

learning from when things do not go right first time and then getting the satisfaction of creat-ing something unique. What has the feedback been? As Luke Watkins says ‘It is fun because you get to experiment with new technologies and come up with new ideas’.

Please do ask your sons what they have been working on and what they think of the course offer. We are always wanting to improve our STEM provision as we believe it really is the future - and theirs!

Bett Show 2018

This year saw Mr Swinchin Rew take some of the 6th Form STEM ambassadors to see what is new and exciting in the world of Tech and Educa-tion. They spent the entire day there, meeting educationalists and computer experts. Every year Mr Swinchin Rew brings back fresh ideas and projects for Southborough to get behind, like the ‘rocket cars’ we are de-signing and building with the whole of year 7. We look for-ward to seeing what he wants us to get our teeth into this year!

Sarah Starzynski, a 10 year old Jewish girl born in Paris, is arrested with her parents and they are sent to Auschwitz. Before they leave, she locks her 4 year old brother, Michel, in a cupboard intending to come back and rescue him.

Julia Jarmond is an Ameri-can journalist living in Paris and she has been asked to write an article about the roundup of the Jews to commemorate the 60th anniversary.

Sarah and Rachel escape the concentration camp and are hidden by Jules and Genevieve Dufaure. Rachel dies of a fe-ver. In 1942, Jules and Gen-evieve go with Sarah to Paris to find her brother but they find his body in the cupboard. Sarah has always carried the key to the cupboard with her. She stays with the Dufaures until adulthood when she leaves to go to America to become a nanny.

Julia becomes obsessed with Sarah’s story and discovers that Sarah had a son called William but that Sarah died when William was a young boy. William and Julia make contact and together they piece together the rest of Sarah’s story.

6TH FORM Hero Of The Week

This week’s Sixth Form Hero of the Week is Manhal Arafat. He was nominated for leading a fantastic Biology lesson, demon-strating not only his research and presenta-tion skills, but also his passion for the sub-ject.

Well done from all in the Sixth Form team

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

Aristotle

Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person

and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's

power and is not easy

FOSH CORNER

We would like to thank Mrs Gregory and Mrs Taylor for their support of the Science Quiz on Tuesday, we all had a great time!! We will be looking for helpers and donations over the com-ing weeks to help us with the great event that is the ‘Oliver!’ production in March, we will be sending out an email to all our lovely members this week.

Free School Meals

If you are on a low income or in receipt of benefits (except Work-ing Tax Credit, please apply to the Royal Bor-ough of Kingston for free school meals via their website). This will ben-efit your child and the school. Please use the link below: https://www.kingston.gov.uk/info/200130/educa-tion_schools_and_nurser-ies/366/free_school_meals

The famous Greek philosopher Aristotle once said perceptively and wisely...

Increase in canteen prices

Over the last two years the food industry has con-tinued to face a number of challenges, including an increase in the cost of food, packaging, employment and transport and we have had to accept a number of increases from our suppliers, despite our continuously benchmarking to ensure value for money. The school has been absorbing these costs but, to ensure that we maintain the level of quality and service we pride our-selves on, we will be increasing our prices by 5% on av-erage after February half-term. The last price increase took place in 2014. The cost of the main cooked meal will go up by £0.10 to £2.30, there will be no increases to the cost of drinks, prices on other products will in-crease on average by 5%. Free school meals allowance will increase to £2.70.
