week 35 barometer

2 The Barometer - 01/07/2016

From the Headmaster Dear Parents,

A week of celebration this week, with the Year 8 Leavers’

Dinner at the Serpentine Gallery on Monday and this

afternoon’s Prize Giving at the Senior School; two

remarkable years at two remarkable schools and absolutely

appropriate to celebrate. As I said on Monday night, it was

such a sociable occasion and felt like a party with friends

rather than what I’m sure in many schools is a rather stuffy

event, with guests nursing a flat glass of fizz all night and

having the same old conversations about nothing in

particular.

And then, this afternoon at the Senior School, where

without doubt the highlight for me was such heartfelt

speeches by Talal and Maxine. They said everything

one needed to know about the first year of Wetherby

Senior. What fine young men these two are and how

well they represent their respective peer groups - proud

of you boys and you hit the perfect note with those

speeches. Thank you also to so many parents for

coming. Your support is much appreciated and it was

lovely for us all to be together as ‘Pioneers’ for one last

time…

As ever, of course, we have the opportunity to look to the future,

having held our New Boys’ Evening at the Prep School earlier this

week and New Boys’ Induction at the Senior School today - more

boys who will write their own chapters in the history of Wetherby;

it’s what makes schools such vibrant, interesting and dynamic

places to be a part of.

Have a good weekend…

PRIZE GIVING Mr Hasthorpe observes...

The first Wetherby Prize Giving service took place in Hinde Street Methodist Church on Friday, attended by the whole school and many parents and friends.

The afternoon began with Mr Baker making a speech in which he discussed the start-up of the school and how he felt the first year had been a great success. Mr Baker then went on to name and to thank every boy and every member of staff, emphasising the contributions that every single member of the school had made to a very successful first year. He finished by telling us that the future is grey... and red - and that we at #WetherbySenior have only just started!

Following this was a superb set from the Wetherby All Stars, which really raised the roof! A fantastic sound from this talented group of boys. The solos in the second piece were particularly impressive.

Next we had "recollections of the year" from Maxime Hashem and Talal Hangari. Maxime spoke of the first year with obvious passion and pride, concentrating especially on his co-curricular involvement with the school. It was

wonderful to hear how much being a Pioneer has meant to so many of the boys.

Following Prize Giving, Talal spoke of his experiences. He was, as always, eloquent, giving us all a lot to think about, and helping us to imagine what the experience of a Year 9 boy on his first day. Talal spoke affectionately of his friendships, his experiences of trips, and his feelings of involvement. Crucially, Talal reflected on his year in terms of the team-building experiences he had shared with the other boys. Well done to both boys!

Next we celebrated individual achievements in many fields (see overleaf).

The school choir were up next, singing a wonderful cover of "There's a hole in the bucket", harmonising beautifully with each other and showcasing some fantastic solos and talent.

Finally, after a rousing rendition of God Save the Queen, Mr Baker thanked everyone and the service drew to a close.

Farewell to Alan Savage - the Best Chef a school could

wish for!

Mr Warner writes...

This week we waved a tearful goodbye to Alan Savage. Alan has been our chef this year and I have never been so well fed in a school before. Alan will be sorely missed, not just because of his amazing skill behind the stove, but also for his great manner with the boys and clear enthusiasm for good cooking. We wish him all the best in his new job.


CROSS CURRICULAR WEEK

Mollie Hughes talks

about her Everest

experience Mrs Deedat writes...

To kick –start cross-curricular week we invited Mollie Hughes into school to speak to all boys on Monday morning. Mollie became the youngest, female, British climber to summit Mount Everest in 2012 and now aims to become the first British woman to summit the mountain from both sides.

She inspired the boys with stories about the challenges of her ascent but also how she funded the trip and the incredible amount of training involved. Mollie focused on five key factors which can help anyone achieve their ambitions: self-belief, respect, controlling fear, determination and perseverance. Boys then completed a workshop where they thought about their long-term goals and how they would achieve them.


CROSS-CURRICULAR WEEK

Inter-Trib Competition

As part of the Cross Curricular Week the Tribs were given a challenge to come up with creative projects

about specific mountains. The Tribs were given the following mountains to focus on: 7 Fleet - Mont

Blanc, 7 Tyburn - K2, 7 Walbrook - Kilimanjaro, 9 Fleet - Mauna Keo, 9 Tyburn- Mount Chimborazo, 9

Walbrook - Mount Everest.

With two tutor periods and two preps the boys had about three hours in which to come up with a way of

presenting information on their given mountains and, across all the Tribs the results of the boys’

ingenuity was impressive!

The Creative writing from 9 Fleet’s project

The darkness is tangible, thick and pure. The night leaves an indelible mark across the heavens…Mischief prevails.

In the beginning, Kane, the creator, told the other gods, “Do not trifle with the earth, ‘tis delicate and powerful. Those who do, challenge my will and authority, and shall regret their woeful actions.”

The youthful goddess Poliahu, master of snow, looked lustfully upon the Americas. She gazed upon this beautiful region. It was covered with luscious grass and flowing rivers. It was sacred land, decreed by the high council of gods. The small speckle of desire in her heart slowly grew and grew and grew. The snow in her hands was forming. An idea sparked across her stream of thought. She would become the ruler of this land and her law would conquer. Poliahu moved swiftly, evading the council, and was devoured by the night. A blazing light rained down from the heavens. A frosty gust of wind was brewing…Poliahu had arrived.

Poliahu had smothered the border of the mystical region with bitter ice. Pele helped the quest, engulfing the border with scorching magma to free it. The pieces of the puzzle were then in place, as Poliahu had finished her plan. Not only had the ice thawed but the land had cracked and split, causing the landform to sail off into the distance. It was hers. Poliahu was successful in her wicked heist.

The current carried the island away, and soon settled in the ocean

region of the Pacific Ocean, known by the gods as Hawaii. Within the island there was a large mountain, great in stature and aesthetically pleasing. Poliahu flew to it and drizzled snowflakes across the face of the mountain. A lovely tint of light aqua blue graced the mountain. Pele was, however, consumed with a volcanic rage, her jealousy had overcome her. How could a structure so grand not be used for a volcano? A violent fight broke out and the, defeated, Pele flew away, scheming.

It had come to the time of the assembly of the council. Poliahu gaily and briskly flew into the court. She was met by a flood of gazing and spiteful eyes. “You, blatantly, ignored my command! How should we deal with such a blasphemer?” said Kane “Kill her!” cried a god “Seize her powers!” said another.

In the corner of the room sat a grinning Pele-“Maybe we should keep her in the mountain of which she so greatly desire. I shall craft a volcano and you, master Kane, must seal it to prevent escape and the death of human inhabitants.” She cried. Her notion was met by a shower of applause and synchronised grunts. “So be it!” screamed Kane

To this day the winter glazed volcano is deemed the highest in the world. Mauna Kea. The White Mountain. What lies inside the dormant volcano is a sorrowful Poliahu.

Mischief prevails…

CROSS-CURRICULAR WEEK Climbing

This week all the boys had a chance to climb at

Seymour Leisure Centre. Their willingness to test

themselves and have a go was really impressive.


Miss Lillington writes...

In Biology, as part of the Cross-Curricular Week on mountaineering, the boys have been learning about the effects of high altitude on the body.

The boys practised measuring their own blood oxygen levels, heart rate and blood pressure, and considered the impact high altitude might have on these vitals as their bodies try compensate for the lack of oxygen.

They also learnt about the longer term effects of high altitude on the body as it acclimatises, by increasing lung capacity and red blood cell count. The boys had a chance to measure their own lung capacity using lung volume bags and the brand new spirometer which can be connected to the iPads. In the competition between the Year 9 boys to see who had the largest lung capacity, we discovered the winner, Mathew Monahan, might be the best anatomically adapted for mountaineering with his huge lung capacity of 6 litres!

From the Maths Department

Mr Bray writes...

At the Year 9 Parents Evening this week, I was impressed by the number of boys who were keen to keep practising their mathematical skills through the summer. Attempting papers, at the appropriate level, is the best way to revise maths; I have uploaded some appropriate material for boys/parents to download. The link for Year 9 below contains 16 papers and mark schemes, plus the two end of year exams, which is more than enough at this stage. For Year 7, I have also put together six practice papers with mark schemes along with the end of year exams.

Foundation IGCSE papers for Year 9:

Practice papers for Year 7:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/es7bskpekt0b1bv/AABh7XiwmN5V5WYGojcM-61ia?dl=0

When you first click on the links, you are asked to sign in/up, but you can skip this by clicking on ‘No Thanks’ at the bottom of the sign-up screen.

Often, if a question causes difficulty, the mark scheme can be used to figure out the correct method, but should a topic be causing difficulties, the boys can use BBC Bitesize (KS3 for Year 7, GCSE for Year 9) or the videos on Frog (for Year 9) to plug any gaps.

I’m not expecting all of the boys to complete all of the papers – I hope, above all else, that the boys have an enjoyable and refreshing holiday - but if they are able to fit some work in, it will be worthwhile.

CURRICULUM NEWS

From the History Department

Mr Warner writes…

In History lessons the boys got into the spirit of Cross-Curricular Week by studying one of Europe’s most famous and ambitious mountaineers: Hannibal of Carthage. His story is really quite inspirational if looked at in terms of what great leaders can achieve even in the face of nature’s most hostile environments. However his is also a tale that contains a cautionary note of what can happen if arrogance and ambition start to take precedence in a man’s motivations. As today’s mountaineers climb Everest they often do so past the dead and sometimes even the dying. Hannibal’s bold gamble cost the lives of as many as 60,000 soldiers (not to mention elephants!) and ultimately the Carthaginian civilisation itself.

As part of cross curricular week, Year 7 & 9 had the pleasure of ascending Primrose Hill. Rising to 213ft, the summit allows you to see some of the most breath-taking views of Central and Greater London. From here, they were able to create a number of cityscape drawings using a range of media from oil pastels to water colour. As you can see below, next year’s GCSE boys drew and watercoloured a mountain landscape.

CURRICULUM NEWS

Mr Morris writes...

For the cross-curricular week in English boys in 7A and 9B watched and discussed short video clips from ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ and a documentary about Free-Climbing, before reading and studying an extract from Wordsworth’s ‘The Prelude’ in which he recounts a summer crossing of the Simplon Pass in the Alps. Duly inspired with all things mountainous, they were given the challenge of drafting and writing either a haiku or a tanka with a mountain theme in a single lesson. As I’m sure many of your remember from English lessons at school, these are two traditional short forms of Japanese poetry in which the poet must follow a strict syllable pattern and number of lines: three lines of five, seven and then five syllables for a haiku, and five lines of five, seven, five, seven and seven syllables for a tanka.

To create a successful poem in either form requires a skilful compression of both image and emotion into a precise and elegant pattern of language. I was originally planning to pick the best two of three for inclusion in the magazine, but was so impressed (and delighted) with every piece that I decided all were worthy of a wider audience. Well done to 7A and 9B for mastering the art of the haiku and the tanka!

Brexit could affect rugby and cricket imports to Britain

Uncapped players from the EU could soon be ineligible to play in Britain, a leading sports lawyer

has warned. The United Kingdom's decision to

leave the EU in Thursday's referendum means

uncapped players from the Republic of Ireland may

also be unable to play in the country. Many rugby

and cricket players arrive in the Aviva Premiership

and county cricket through the 'Cotonou

agreement', a treaty between the European Union

and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of

States. This allows citizens of countries from those

areas which have signed European Union

Association Agreements (EUAA) - such as Samoa and Fiji - to have the same right to freedom of

work and movement within the EU as EU citizens.

SPORTING NEWS

Mr Betts writes…

Wednesday was the final day for the Inter-Trib

cricket. Having had such a successful first day,

we had one more match to complete: Tyburn

vs Walbrook

Game 3 – Tyburn A vs Walbrook A

Walbrook won the toss and chose to field. The

game started slowly with an excellent over from

Luke Kirilenko. Batsmen Edouard Goulliard and

Matthew Monaghan struggled to hit bowling of

such good line and length. Shortly after this first

over, the batsmen started to warm up. Matthew

punished the wider deliveries and managed to

finish the innings with a score of 26 not out – an

excellent innings. Edouard started well, scoring

12, but was then bowled by Luke in the fourth

over. Sean Masri came in to score a quick 8

runs and Tyburn finished the innings 54/1.

Walbrook came into bat with a tough task

ahead. Pip Evans opened the bowling and

managed to get a run out on the third ball of the

game. Despite some excellent batting from

Oliver Lind, the Walbrook batsmen struggled to

keep the run rate ticking over and fell short,

scoring 41/3 off their 6 allotted overs.

Final score:

Tyburn 54/1 – Walbrook 41/3

Boys Qualifying:

The Inter-Trib was a huge success, seeing

boys of all ability levels playing a massive role

for their Tribs in tricky situations. Having

counted the points from the matches as well as

a number of bonus points the results were in

and one Trib sailed above the rest to win the

competition.

Final Standings:

MVP ‘A’ – Matthew Monaghan – For his

phenomenal batting performances.

MVP ‘B’ – Will Bratvedt – For his exceptional

performances as well as his standout

sportsmanship.

I would like to thank all the boys for a

tremendous effort throughout the two days as

well as the parents who came and supported

To keep in theme with mountaineering, this week in Grub Club, the boys had fondue! They were able to dip various sweet and savoury items into a Swiss chocolate or cheese fondue. Some of the boys enjoyed trying new combinations of flavours, including red pepper with white chocolate fondue!

The boys also learnt about the types of foods mountaineers might take with them on a climb, particularly dehydrated and high calorie foods that are light weight to carry and give plenty of energy.
