HEADMASTER'S MESSAGEDear Parents,

It has been national Anti-Bullying week this week. Although ourassemblies often focus on Agape, it has been a wonderful opportunityto dig deeper and hone in on the theme of compassion, for oneselfand for one another. We have missed our usual church services thisterm, due to Covid 19, but I believe it is important to maintain ourChristian values, such as cherishing your neighbour. Odd Socks Daywas an opportunity for the children to demonstrate their commitmentto supporting one another. The socks represented each child’sindividuality, and instead of judging each other’s differences itencouraged them to value one another all the more for what makesthem unique.

The Yorkshire spirit is there for all to see when the children play sportoutside. The weather does not stop them from working hard and as ateam. Although it is a shame that I have been unable to watchcompetitive fixtures and chat to parents on the side lines, it is clearfrom the practices I have observed that our teams will be ready foraction when we are able to play other schools once again. I have alsoenjoyed coaching several of our talented young cricketers and wouldwelcome other pupils who would like to join us on Wednesdayevenings from 4 until 5.30pm (girls and boys). I very much enjoywatching the children grow in confidence and I think sport has manyimportant lessons to teach them.

I would like to thank Claire Wainwright and Ben Burridge for holdingthe fort within our boarding house whilst other members of theboarding team have been self-isolating. I am sure they are bothdeeply relieved that Eden Cross and Elle Heathcote will be back inaction on Monday. Please keep checking the weekly newsletter, inthe boarding section, for the following week’s year group boardingnights. Despite the smaller numbers each evening, due to thenecessity to maintain bubbles, the laughter and fun is still audiblethroughout the Main House.

My thanks also go to David Wright for stepping in to the breach andsupporting the Pre-Prep year two class in the absence of RachelI’Anson. He has done a sterling job and on my numerous visits to thedepartment I experience a calm and purposeful atmospherethroughout. Needless to say we are glad to welcome back RachelI’Anson, Emma Harrison and Eden Cross, along with all the Nurseryand Reception children.

I hope you all have a wonderful Exeat. Stay safe everybody.

I think all the pupils and staff have earnt a long weekend- well doneone and all. Lessons have continued in earnest and Y8s delighted mewith their commitment to learning the body parts for our latest unit onillnesses- luckily corona is a Spanish word so they can all spell that!

Children in Need day last Friday was a big success and we all lovedthe delicious cookies the kitchen made. We as a school raised£282.25 and three Y6 girls Constance Paley, Sophia Browne andAnnabel Roberts took the initiative to do a sponsored silence- Sophiaand Constance made it until lunchtime and Annabel to games at 3.15-they raised a further £66.25 in sponsorship which we have splitbetween CIN and this year’s school charity ‘Prostate Cancer’.

This week is Anti-Bullying Awareness Week and the pupils wore oddsocks on Wednesday to show their support to this good cause. TheUP children all participated positively in their various assemblies thisweek too. I hope they all took a moment to think about being a bitkinder to others.

Have a good weekend one and all and look forward to seeing all thepupils again on Monday.

Ask a junior pupil what Science means to them and they more oftenthan not give the same unanimous answer - acids. Well, this past fewweeks Year 8 pupils have been learning about Acids and Bases. Thisis a classic chemistry topic which involves lots of theory and practicalwork. Pupils have been testing pH's of various substances using avariety of manufactured and natural indicators, neutralising acids byfour different methods to produce samples of different salts andtesting hydrogen from one of the reactions by igniting it to producethe legendary 'squeaky pop'.

I may be slightly biased when I say Year 4 is a fantastic year and ayear in which you can see much change and development in thechildren. The children become that little bit more independent as theyare no longer the youngest in the department and offer guidance tothe Year 3s, they navigate their way around school and have learntthe art of carrying all their belonging including their sports bags, theyapproach their learning with a greater level of independence and theyoften seem to stand that little bit taller.

Here is Roisin’s take on her life in Year 4:I was so relieved to get back to school in September after lockdown. Ifelt nervous on the first day but really happy to see my friends. Schoollooks and feels just the same except for a few new covid rules butthey haven’t spoilt anything. We have even been able to board andhad a great time cheerleading last term and had an Italian night.My favourite lessons are still the same. Art with Mr Magson and PEwith Mr Crockett. Miss Knights is amazing and I love our new topicabout Ancient Egypt. I got to wrap my little sister in toilet roll like amummy and our dog Alfie! I’m really looking forward to mummifying atomato too.My highlight of the year so far has to be the arrival of two new girlsinto year 4. Welcome Minna and Eve. Now we have enough playersfor a Netball team! We have just got to keep our fingers crossed formatches to restart.

A final well done must go to all the children who performed in ourLower Prep music assembly. It was so fantastic to hear so many ofthe children play their instruments, music does clearly run throughtheir veins. For any children who do not currently play an instrumentwho might be interested in taking one up please contact Mr O’Ehleywho is always on hand to offer advice and set up a taster lesson.

In the second week of home learning Reception have been superstars in all the tasks and activities they have been given. Wecontinued our theme of autumn and extended it to learn about all fourseasons and begin to learn all the months of the year. We haveexplored what events and changes take place in each season,thought about our favourite month and why and then moved ontopacking our suitcases to go a chosen holiday destination and puttingin a good choice of clothes and objects to match the weather at thattime of year. We’ve had lots of fun learning familiar and new nurseryrhymes and trying out activities related to each one. Well doneReception and of course another huge thank you to all parents andrelatives for the massive support and help given this week.

This week, Year 2 have started a new unit in English, based on RoaldDahl’s ‘Billy and the Minpins’. Their descriptive writing has terrifiedthe faint hearted with bone crunching, teeth splitting monsters! Theyhave described Billy’s emotions as he is faced with wonderment inthe ‘Forest of Sin’. So pleased to get out in the cold Autumn air, thechildren have enjoyed taking maths outside this week, learning aboutposition and direction, using quarter and half turns.

This week we have seen our Boys vs Girls Hockey fixtures go ahead.Monday afternoon saw two very close encounters between the year 7& 8’s. The Girls taking the year 7 bragging rights winning 2-1,although walking off with a loss the boys were very proud of theirefforts and rightly so as the score line could have been rather more!The year 8’s match was played with more pace and intensity. Earlyon saw the girls teach the boys how to pass the ball and use thewhole pitch, in particular Thomson, Kibler and Tench were enjoyingthis piggy in the middle style game as the boys were chasingshadows. The girls went into a two goal lead but the boys had asecret weapon. It came by the name of Micheal Hogg who firstly setup Storey for the first boy’s goal and in quick succession Sheddonwith the equaliser. In the dying moments Hogg himself then had agoal disallowed for ever so slightly being outside the box. A thoroughenjoyable game to watch and after witnessing the aggression andsheer determination from the girls I might need to steel some for ourrugby team! It was the turn of the u9’s to go head to head on Tuesdayafternoon. Considering there were some fairly inexperienced hockeyplayers on show [specifically boys] we were hugely impressed by thetalent out on the pitch. Goals by Charlie Milne, Theo Wootton andAlfie Bristow complemented by impressive overall performances byJessica Cook, Eve Colquhoun and Max Whittle all accumulating in anenjoyable afternoon. Finally the chance for the u11 & 10’s tocompete. These were already talked about being hugely competitivegames and we were not disappointed. The impressive year 6 girlsteaching the young men a lesson in how to pass and use the spaceand ultimately how to win a match, whilst the pure athletic andsporting ability of the year 5 boys brought them the victory in theirfixture. Impressive performances by Ben Gunn, Oliver Reitveld,Isabella Milne, Isla Rattray, Edward Corrigan-Hearn and GeorgeStephenson during the year 5 game and Florence Kibler, TheaCamacho, Annabel Roberts, Petronella Horner, Ben Wootton, AngusThomson and Edward Dobson during the year 6 fixture.

Next week will see the continuation of our badminton competitions asthey near the business end of the tournament. The pupils still havetheir biathlons and orienteering to look forward in the coming weeks.

The pupils and teachers of Lower Prep were treated to aninspirational Music Assembly this week. 8 children from Year 3 toYear 5 turned in dazzling performances on the flute, piano, violin,drums and singing.All played and sang beautifully and with typical Terringtonianconfidence - fostered through the termly recitals which begin in PrePrep.The audience were spellbound by a range of contrasting pieces whichkicked off with a charming traditional song by Robyn O'Ehley on theflute representing Year 3. Year 4 were represented by Jessica Cookwho played an impressive pop ballad on the piano showing realcommand of the keyboard. Catherine Nelson began the Year 5section with a mysterious Egyptian piece on the piano full ofwonderfully contrasting dynamics. Layla Spencer played the violinwith beautifully assured technique producing a lovely legato andprecise intonation. Next came Annabelle Davidson who wowed uswith a wonderfully dexterous Arabesque on the piano and then AlfBrennan helped lift everyone's spirits even higher with a joyfulrendition of Singing In The Rain. Rosa Lamont's boogie-woogie pianoplaying was a sheer delight - watch out Jools Holland! Theperformance was brought to a rousing conclusion with a stormingperformance by Finn Davies on the drums.

The children at Terrington never cease to amaze me and it is such aprivilege to witness the beginnings of what are set to be incrediblemusical journeys...

What a busy week in the House! It has been lovely to see so manychildren who are not yet regular boarders staying for their designatedbubble nights with their classmates.

We were treated to a flying visit on Monday evening from George thetortoise – the latest and much-talked-about (in the House at least)addition to the Kibler family. Much to his relief, I’m sure, he stayed inFlorence’s capable hands but it was exciting to finally meet him andsee him up close albeit for a short time. Even tortoises need to stickto their bedtimes!

Wednesday brought us Year 4 for their special boarding night, andwhat a fun-filled evening Miss Knights and Miss Stones had plannedfor them! Too many exciting activities to mention here but, suffice tosay, the children were buzzing when they came back to the boardinghouse! Showers, snacks and some chill out time with Frozen 2 beforethis tired but happy little group headed off to bed.

The bubble boarding nights for the coming week are as follows:

Monday 16th Year 7Tuesday 17th Year 8Wednesday 18th Year 3 and 4Thursday 19th Year 6Friday 20th Year 5

It is essential that you please continue to book your child in forboarding in the usual way by emailing boarding@terringtonhall.com

You can also follow us on (please insert twitter and insta malarkeyhere) for more exciting news and pictures from the Boarding Team.
