Boarders’ Trip to Cadbury World

Sunday, 25 January saw the Boarders embark on an exciting (and yummy!) trip to Cadbury World. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed walking around the centre and learning a little about the history of the Bourneville village, which was built for Cadbury workers in 1879. The highlight for everyone was the delicious chocolate that they were given to try!

Headmaster’s WelcomeDear Parents

“It is not the critic who counts, nor the person who points out how the strong one

stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs

to the person who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat

and blood....who knows great enthusiasm, great devotion and the triumph of

achievement and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,

so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither

victory nor defeat.”

This quote comes from Theodore Roosevelt. Although I would not have been aware of it as I desperately tried to win the 440yds at sports day at my prep school, it would have made a lot of sense as I trailed in behind the school superstar yet again. I had failed. This failure had no long lasting effect, instead it taught me lessons about pacing a race and accepting that my strengths were elsewhere.

It was a visit to a Year 2 class this week, which prompted me to write about failure. In this lesson, I observed six year old children agonising over the fact that they had made a mistake. Some were phlegmatic about their mistakes but, worryingly, others were unable to accept that one learns from mistakes and move on to the next question. And if a child is unable to accept failure as part of the learning curve then he or she will be unwilling to enter ‘the arena’ as quoted by Roosevelt. New opportunities and challenges will be shunned for fear of failure.

Do not misunderstand me. I enjoy achievement and winning as much as the next and schools are all about allowing children to enjoy success. However, vacuous praise and ‘prizes for just turning up’ undermine children, schools, other institutions and countries as much as ‘dog eats dog’ approach will. Therefore, to enjoy success, one must inevitably experience failure somewhere along the line.

Are you practising this at home? Do you, as a parent, always win the race back to the car, the game of Monopoly or FIFA 2014 on the X-Box? Or do you contrive to lose so that your child is not upset? As always, I would advocate balance. Children need to be aware of how to cope with competition, not least to be able to become aware of one’s self-esteem and what builds it.

Please encourage your children not to be scared of failure, not to readily accept it and, instead, to see it as an essential part of learning.

Mr J F Whybrow

Kingfisher is alive and well!This little chap was seen fishing this morning, both near Lower School

and on the island.

Kingfishers are pleased to announce that we raised the grand total of £362 for TURF (Team Up Reach Forward) last week. We would like to give a massive thank you to all those who helped to make cakes and came along to support us on the day.

This week, Year 1 children were delighted to present their assembly to parents and other children in Kingfishers. Over the last couple of weeks, they have worked really hard to think of ideas and devise their own lines and dances for a toy themed extravaganza!

Our two ‘toymakers’ took great pleasure in introducing the audience to Barbie dolls, teddy bears, cars, Lego people, puppets and ‘hula-hoopers’. It was impressive to see how confidently the children performed and how much fun they were having. The audience appeared to have a great time too!

Following the Year 4 trip to Gloucester Catherdral, the children have used Comic Life and the internet to research a typical day in the life of a monk. Read about the jobs some of these monks carried out....

Mr A Theedom, Lower School Class Tutor

Equestrian Club, what, where and when?

The Equestrian Club is a wonderful and fun experience for both children who don’t know how to ride as well as those who have riding skills.

We have been learning how to trot, canter and jump. “It feels like you are flying through the air. In front of the jump you think ‘here we go’ and then you are soaring through the air.”

If you are worried or nervous, Pam, our riding instructor, will increase your confidence, whilst making sure you are on a pony suitable for you. She instructs you in the details that are needed to get the best out of your horse, for example, heels down, sit back etc. She is very encouraging. We have a great sense of achievement, particularly if you didn’t think you could do a jump and then you manage to do it.

In addition, we learn all sorts of aspects of stable management, grooming, feeding, tacking and un-tacking the horses. In general, how to look after them.

Maria can now canter without stirrups and has become much more confident in her jumping. Kiera has been working on her canter position and now sits smoothly, providing a much better ride for her and her horse.

Time flies when you are at riding club, riding feels different to walking. Helaina rejoined the club this term because it is such fun. We love the way that you do something that you think will be really scary and then it is such fun.

Mrs A Grieves, Middle School Class Tutor

Middle School

Upper SchoolThis week we have been focusing on our PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) and PALs (Pupil Achievement and Learning skills). In PSHE, Years 7 and 8 have been discussing what to do when friendships and relationships don’t go to plan. We have also talked about working through issues with staff and other adults, and who we can go to when we need to talk. It was really enlightening to hear all the different opinions of the Upper School boys and girls, and it has certainly given us all a lot to think about and to take forward.

Our PALs sessions for Year 8 in particular have looked at our revision skills and preparation for Mock Common Entrance examinations after Half Term. We decided that a schedule, coupled with some down time and plenty of treats, was the best way forward to success!

I was also really proud to see so much determination and effort from all Upper School pupils who took part in the House Cross Country competition; they were all encouraged by the pupils and staff on a very cold morning

CRAFT CLUB The girls all finished their elephant cushions this week. Care had been taken to ensure the cushions were sewn firmly shut to retain the stuffing. Individual designs were created, with beautiful results.

We have just started our next project – DECOPATCH! This is a really fun papercraft technique of decoratating objects with special, clourful paper and glue varnish. The first step is to tear up the paper, ready for sticking. It is addictive – once you start – you can’t stop!

Bakery club Club! Mrs G Barrett & Mrs B Williams

We made some delicious butterfly cakes today. We baked vanilla cupcakes and sliced the top off once they were cooked. We added some purple buttercream and a trickle of jam in the middle, then added the sliced top to give the effect of butterfly wings!

Team of the Week – U11A

Another closely fought match and another well-earned victory for the U11s. During the first quarter ,we played at St Hugh’s fast and furious pace, but matched them with every goal. After slowing things down, the centre passes worked well and passing in order was really effective in our attacking half . WA who was player of the match read the game well and fed some superb early balls into the shooters. Hard, fast passing is the key to our good play, now we just need to be consistent with this. Excellent work girls and a big thank you to Miss Willey for umpiring and controlling the game.

Mrs J Upton, Games Tutor

Cheltenham Prep Local Schools Netball Festival – Friday 30 January

On the Friday of Exeat, we included something a bit different in our netball programme:

We ran a fun mixed festival for a group of schools which we do not usually compete against. It was aimed at players aged under 11 and schools were invited to bring boys as well as girls, if it helped them put a team together. We included local primary schools and local Prep Schools as well as some smaller feeder Prep Schools. Although some of these schools perhaps did not play netball to the competitive standard we are used to, our girls were perfect hosts. They adapted well and had a very enjoyable time meeting boys and girls from different schools. The festival format meant there was no pressure and everyone got to play lots of netball and try out different positions. Every player left with a medal after a hearty match tea and there were lots of smiling faces.

Miss S E Ramsay, Head of Girls Sport

Girls’ Sporting Achievements

Some feedback from schools who attended –

“I wanted to write saying how much our Year 6 Team enjoyed the Netball Festival which you so kindly organised on Friday. Everyone had a lovely experience and they came back to school with very happy memories of a great day, especially the very tasty pasta and cupcakes!!!” (Airthrie School)

“Thank you so much for Friday, we really enjoyed it. The girls haven’t stopped talking about how brilliant it was”. (Hardwicke Prep)

Boys’ Sporting AchievementsTeam of the Week – U11B Hockey VII

Coming off the back of last week’s tournament which had yielded four 0 – 0 draws, there was clearly the need to develop more of a cutting edge, both in attack and midfield. Having worked on a faster game in Monday’s session, it was pleasing to see that we made a purposeful start to the match, despite the freezing conditions. From the outset, whenever Clifton were in possession we applied pressure in all areas of the pitch and the first goal was a direct result of the opposition being caught in possession in their own D.

Slick interplay in the middle of the pitch led to ourextending our lead, as the team looked to move the ball wide early, creating holes in Clifton’s defence. The visitors enjoyed more possession in the second half but we were resolute in defence, backed up by some admirable saves. Well done to our team for playing the game with increasing

pace, determination and intelligence.

Mr N Jenkins, Deputy Head (Pastoral)

So what happened next?

This is a story from a Prep school student who began her journey here and has now gone on to follow her dreams of becoming a doctor.

“My daughter loved her time at The Prep and Cheltenham College. She left last year and after an unsuccessful attempt to go to Oxford, decided to take a gap year and reapply. She has now gained an un-conditional place to study Medicine at St Andrew’s, as she has four A’s in the bag.”

Corinth House Dinner

Corinth enjoyed their bi-annual House Dinner on Thursday this week. The theme was all about France so our menu consisted of snails and frogs legs for starters, coq au vin or chicken chasseur with dauphinoise potatoes and French beans for the main, and profiteroles with cream and chocolate sauce or crème brûlée for desert. There were French quizzes on the tables as well as colour in and dot to dot competitions, and we had the film Asterix playing on a big screen in the background. After the meal, Tabby Barnes gave an excellent speech and we retired to the Assembly Hall for an Eiffel Tower building competition and a few fun games.
