The Phoenix Flier The Yarm Preparatory School Newsletter
Issue 594 Friday 1st February 2019
L ast week was rounded up by 5P’s class assembly which was about looking after all members of the community. They took their inspiration from a recent TV documentary, Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds, and wrote a very entertaining script indeed. The sentiment behind the short play was heartfelt and reminded us all just how important looking after each other is, and how much we can all gain by
doing so. It was very clear that the pupils relished performing to the audience and had grown in confidence since their last public performance of this nature.
Our class assemblies are always enjoyable and allow the pupils the opportunity to collaborate and showcase their many talents. I genuinely look forward to each and every one. Judging by the smiling faces in the audience, I am not the only one!
All pupils from Years 3 - 6 will have come home this week with their Yarm Prep Baccalaureate documents specific to their year group. The aim of the Baccalaureate is to celebrate and encourage wide involvement in school life whilst fulfilling our School Values. Please spend some time with your child reviewing this document and which projects they would like to address first. I am confident with their Growth Mindset approaches our pupils will achieve many of the tasks and projects this year and enjoy the process.

You will hopefully have seen the new Yarm Prep Baccalaureate booklets brought home this week with your child. The YPB is
an opportunity for the children to:
Develop new skills,
Stretch themselves; and
Recognise their talents and achievements.
Every child in the Prep School can do it! The overall aim is to encourage and
recognize pupil involvement in their school, with a clear focus on our School
Values. There are also elements of Education for Social Responsibility within
the tasks set—all of which are age-appropriate and achievable based on the
year group of each child.
What do the children need to do?
Each page of the YPB covers one of our School Values. On each page, a child needs to complete five TASKS and the PROJECT.
These need to be dated and signed by a teacher. Form time will be used to do this. There are also lunchtime clubs on
Tuesday and Friday for children to do this with Mr Stone.
What are the tasks?
The tasks are based around each School Value and offer a mix of those that
can be achieved in school and those that will need some support at home to
complete. Some will be completed during day-to-day life at school (and at
home!), so we are encouraging children to look for these first before exploring
and tackling some of the more challenging tasks.
Five tasks need to be completed from the 7/8 under each School Value. They
need to be dated and signed by a teacher.
What are the projects?
The projects are designed to promote the School Values. All your child has to do is record how they have demonstrated each
value—on one side of A4 paper—and present it to their teacher or Mr Stone.
Some examples might include: demonstrating ‘Safe’ by
producing a poster for Safer Internet Day; highlighting
how they are being ’Resourceful’ by drawing some
diagrams of how an old item was fixed; or showing how
they are ’Ambitious’ by putting together a report and
pictures of an assembly/event they took part in.
What do parents need to do?
Discuss and share with your child what they are
doing.
Work with them to complete each of the projects
(and sign them off!)
Encourage your children to come along to the
lunchtime clubs on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Make sure that the YPB booklet is kept safe and
secure—both at home and at school!
DON’T FORGET TO COME ALONG TO THE LUNCHTIME
CLUBS EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY!

Our assembly was all about bringing old and young people together. No matter
what age you are, you can always enjoy life.
Paddy K.
I enjoyed our assembly because it was very funny. My favourite part was when
Michael 'Mobility Scooter' Mattarazi won the egg and spoon race.
Jack M.
It was a good opportunity to improve our acting skills. We were all a bit nervous
at the start, but by the end we were all having lots of fun up on the stage.
Mara M.
It was really, really fun! I thought it was a great way to get the message across
that older and younger people should spend more time together.

The Disco was an incredible experience. The funniest part was probably when
Matthew had to hop on one leg with me on his back for the newspaper challenge.
My favourite song was Shotgun which all of my friends sang to. I will really miss
these Discos when I am in the Senior School.
Tenuk M.
The disco was amazing. The photo frames and excellent games made it special for
me. I would like to thank my mum and her friends for organising it!
Olivia M.
This year’s disco was the best of them all! I really enjoyed the games and the
music.
Alexander C.
This year’s New Year disco was amazing! I enjoyed the music the most.
Ayan T.
The most recent New Year’s disco was fantastic! I thought the best parts of it
were just being with my friends, and enjoying the music.

Year 5 Cracking Codes! 5P have been exploring different types of codes and encryption in
computing lessons recently. This includes Morse, semaphore and
substitution ciphers.
Last Friday, they explored Caesar Cipher and were enciphering and
deciphering different messages written by Mr Stone and each
other.
They have left some messages for readers to try and decipher,
along with the key. If you can decipher any of them, let Mr Stone
know!
Mr Stone
How to decrypt Caesar cipher:
Caesar code decryption replaces a letter another letter by
using an inverse alphabet shift key.
For example: Decrypt IFMMP with a shift key of 1.
To decrypt I, take the alphabet and look one letter before: H.
F becomes E.
M becomes L.
P becomes O.
Therefore IFMMP is HELLO!

In 6G we have been investigating microbes and the effect of
microbes when making bread. Last week we made our own
bread to investigate how yeast makes bread light and fluffy.
The yeast is a non-harmless microbe we use everyday to help
in the making of bread. The yeast is in a dry dormant state
until it is mixed in with other ingredients: flour, warm water,
oil and salt when it comes back to life and rapidly multiplies
and 'rises'.
Once placed in the oven the yeast then dies in the extreme
heat. The ethanol and carbon dioxide the yeast has given off
as a waste product creates air bubbles in the rising bread,
making the bread fluff up and giving it the classic light
honeycomb texture. The cooked bread was delicious to eat!
Zeph A-T.
In 6G, we have been learning about microbes. To
demonstrate some of the good things that they can do, we
made bread using yeast. First, we mixed some flour, salt and
yeast in a bowl. Then we added water and oil. Then, we
kneaded it and made it into our shapes, before we baked it.
The reason that we use yeast in bread is because it feeds on
the flour and releases carbon dioxide. When we bake the
bread, the CO2 is trapped, forming bubbles in the bread. The
heat kills off the yeast, and evaporates the water, which
freezes the structure of the bread. This is how the light and
fluffy texture of bread is created.

winning by a
score of 8.5-3.5.
Meanwhile,
Stephenson
knew they had
to try and beat
Telford to keep
the momentum
gained by last
week’s victory
going. This was a very close match, but Stephenson managed
to win by a score of 10-8.
Stephenson’s captain, Ajay Selvan, was in trouble against
Tenuk Mendis, the Telford captain, but he somehow
managed to turn the game around thanks to his extra
experience. Natasha Pointon was this round’s top scorer with
three magnificent wins and Daniel Howell played very well to
win two games. Adam Paul, Kate Howell and Sabeeh Qureshi
all added to Stephenson’s tally but it was still very close, as
Edward Lamb led the counterattack for Telford with two
great wins and Tenuk, Mustafa El-Sherif, Dhruv Wadehra, Ben
Meager and Amelie Sawyer all won points for the team too.
What a sensational round of chess this was! Stephenson and
Brunel are the two leaders and they have to play each other
in the final round! Stephenson have a very slight edge on
board points and will take the title if they can win the final
match or if it is drawn. The message for Brunel is quite clear –
they have to win at all costs.
Meanwhile, Telford and Arkwright will play each other to
decide third and fourth place. Arkwright need to win the
match to seize third place but a draw will be good enough for
Telford.
The children are all very excited as we head towards the final
round and I know the captains are busy sorting out their
teams and strategies. Expect a few more twists and turns
before the title is decided!
Mr Marsh
Sam C. (6G) wrote this poem about ‘Community’ as part of
our work during World Religions Day last week.
Community:
It isn’t just a word, it’s a way of living life,
Helping other people, ending all the strife.
Meeting people, greeting people, even just saying hi,
Simply giving up two seconds of your time.
It makes all the difference.
If you want to try it, next time you are out,
Give a complete stranger a shout:
Just say hello.
You may never see them again,
But they’ll go home knowing then,
That they are part of the community.
The second round of the House Chess Championship brought
high drama as the title was reduced to a two-horse race.
Brunel’s team
played an
excellent match
to defeat
Arkwright in
convincing
fashion. Noah
Coulman and
Avanish Batra
won two games
each and further points were added by George Forshaw,
Samuel Shawcross, Shlok Arcot and James Goodall. The last
game to finish was a fabulous draw between the captains,
with Aditya Paul and Aryan Nalawade fighting almost to the
bare kings.
Arkwright fought hard but ultimately found themselves
outgunned.
Nevertheless,
Isobel McGlade,
Shola Afolabi and
Aradhya Dharani
all scored fine
victories to
narrow the gap,
but they couldn’t
prevent Brunel

Boys’ Sport
Pictures above are from the
cricket club training sessions that take place in the Senior
School nets every Thursday.
Under 10 Hockey
Last Friday, we took two teams on a short journey to play
Teesside High. On the day all of the boys played well,
showing great improvement from the previous fixture
against Cundall Manor.
We played with a greater use of width and passed the ball
with greater conviction. In addition to this, our shooting
improved greatly, but there still has room for improvement
in the aspect of the game. There were a number of fantastic
goals scored from a number of different players. Henry B also
kept his second clean sheet in two games.
Mr Simpson
On Friday the under 10 hockey A team played Teesside High
School. Everyone had an equal amount of game time in the
away fixture. It was a great game for Yarm, but not so for
Teesside as the score was 12-0. Both goalkeepers pulled out
some unbelievable saves. Everyone played really well for
Yarm.
Paddy K. and Deacon H.
On Friday we
played Teesside
High in an Under 10
hockey match. We
enjoyed a good
game and won 12-
0. I also kept my
second clean sheet
in a row, with the
help of the defenders.
Henry B.
Under 11 Hockey
On what turned out be an extremely fair contest, the U11A
and U11B teams faced and very skillful Red House teams.
The pitch, being smaller than the Yarm boys were used to,
meant the boys had to quickly develop their close quarter
stick skill.
Intelligent movement was required in this game with Red
House leading the way. It didn’t take long for all the boys to
follow suit and the games quickly developed into exciting
end to end attacking and defending. In the end both teams
earned a solid draw in what was a fair result.
Well done to all those involved.
Mr Underwood
On Friday 25th, the U11 As and Bs went to Red House to play
hockey. It was very enjoyable and we all had lots of fun. At
the start they went 1-0 up by a fantastic chip, over our
keepers head! But we swiftly got back on track and finished 3
-3.
Joseph B.
On Friday 25th January the U11 B's played a hockey fixture. It
was a tight match with a great performance from everybody
in the team. After a whole-hearted first half, the team
realised that the second half would be just as challenging as
the first.
With great goalkeeping from Gabe D. and some excellent
midfield play we were able to get back in the game. The final
score was 3-3. Well done to all the team.

On Friday the 25th January the A and B team went to Red
House for a great game of hockey. We fought and fought
going from 2-2 at half time to a whopping 5-5 at full-time. It
was a very close game throughout the match and they were
quite a well-drilled team. I really enjoyed it and it was a great
day.

Under 11 Netball
It was great to be able to involve every girl in the games
against Leeds Grammar School on Friday. All of the games
took place on the Paddock courts at the Senior School and it
was lovely to have some support as well. The four teams
played well and showed improvements. Moreover all games
were competitive with both schools enjoying success. Well
done all.
Mrs Redhead-

Last Thursday,
Year 6 travelled
to RGS
Newcastle to
play a netball
fixture.
Everyone on the
A team played
extremely well,
with the final score being 21-4 to us. RGS played really well
and despite the score, their defending was amazing. The A
team had a great time and would like to thank all of the staff
who organized the fixture, as well as Miss Bradley for her
outstanding umpiring.

I had been thinking about cutting my hair for a long time.
Eventually I decided to take a risk and do it. I stepped out of
my comfort zone and tried something new.
Then I started to wonder what would happen to the hair that
was cut off. I researched places to donate hair to and found
the Little Princess Trust. They use donated hair to create wigs
for people aged 16-24 affected by hair loss. Then needed
clean hair 7 inches or longer.
I went for the chop and my ponytail measured 8 inches long.
We carefully packaged the hair and sent it off. A week later
later I received a certificate so I know that my hair will
hopefully make someone else happy.
I would recommended the Little Princess Trust if you are

Next week we are holding a STEM week in school. In
education, the acronym STEM stands for the disciplines of
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
We have planned an exciting opportunity for the children to
access these subjects through an integrated approach; one
that offers hands-on and relevant learning experiences. A
challenge will be set for each year group following an
assembly on Monday, and the focus for the whole week will
be on the topic of ‘Bridges’.
Throughout the week we have a number of guest speakers
joining us, to share their expertise, give an insight into
careers linked to STEM subjects and to provide exciting
events and activities for the children to take part in.
On Tuesday 5th February, we are looking forward to
welcoming Kjartan Poskitt, an author and TV presenter who
is best known for writing the Murderous Maths children's
series of books.
He will be delivering workshops at Pre-Prep, Prep and the
PAA throughout the day, followed by an opportunity for the
children to purchase discounted, signed copies of ‘The Magic
of Maths.’ These will be available to purchase at the Prep
School from 3.15pm – 3.45pm.
If you would like your child to purchase a book, please send
£5 in a named envelope.
On Thursday, we are being joined by The Problem-Solving
Company, who provide maths based challenges in the style
of a traditional ‘Escape Room’. All children from Years 3 to 6
will be taking part in the fun; working in small groups to crack
codes, work out riddles and solve puzzles to gain access to
the next level.
These experiences are only a couple of highlights from what
promises to be an insightful and information-packed week.
We hope the children come home buzzing with enthusiasm
and ideas and tell you all about their experiences, challenges
and achievements.

As part of the philosophy lesson 4P discussed this question:
What is the meaning of life?
The children thoughtfully considered if they really had a
purpose and if that purpose gave life a meaning. Here are
some of the great ideas they shared with each other.
Mrs Pugsley
The meaning of life is that everyone needs to learn life and
enjoy it. Everybody has a purpose because God wouldn’t let
anyone touch his world unless it was someone he trusted.
Ava H.
The purpose of life
it to live and learn.

This year’s Telford charity event is on Wednesday 13th
February. We would like to support the charity AgeUK,
specifically our local branch. AgeUK is a registered charity
providing care and support to the elderly.
In Telford house meetings the children have decided to run a
variety of activities to help raise funds for this wonderful
charity. All children in the school are invited to wear silly hats
or wigs for the day and bring in a £1 coin to do so, which will
be given to their form teacher on the morning of the event.
There will be alternative fundraising ideas (such as guess the
name of the cuddly toy) costing around 50p a go, and these
will be taking place during break and lunch time for all
children to participate in. Telford Year 6 pupils will be leading
these events on the day and hoping to raise as much as
possible for this great cause!
A representative from AgeUK will be coming into assembly
soon after the event to explain to the children how our
fundraising will help the elderly in our area, along with
presenting a number of prizes.
Please help us to support this worthwhile cause by sending
your child to school with a small amount of change on
Wednesday 13th February.
