THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM Friday 29th April, 2022 CLICK TO NAVIGATE SCHOOL MESSAGES SCHOOL EVENTS THIS WEEK AT SCHOOL SPORTS REPORT FRENSHAM KITCHEN NEXT WEEK A MESSAGE FROM RICK CLICK FOR RICK'S MESSAGE A MESSAGE FROM NICK OT Dear Parents, I’m not sure where to begin to be honest! From the Queen visiting Year 1 to Year 4 conducting their own powerful Storm vocabulary performance - from Year 6 having an overnight camp-out to Year 5 learning Ukrainian and creating messages of support - to Year 3 getting creative and using materials to explore fractions. Not to mention the Early Years using claw hammers and Year 2 beginning their wander through their topic of Rainforests - it has simply been a fantastic first week back at school and one that offers an exciting marker for the summer term ahead. I hope the feedback coming home has been equally positive and that you have had a good week too. When the sun shines at Frensham there is always that extra spark in the air and we have certainly seen that this week within all classes. It has been great to see so many classes taking their learning outside and lovely examples of this have been sketching with Hannah on Main Lawn, Science with Esme out in the 4-6 playground, a whole bevvy of JS ECA’s in full-flow and a JS assembly out in front of Main House and its unbelievable view. We have also been spending the week launching our focus on the ‘Spirit of Togetherness’ with the children and this was further represented in a fun-fuelled whole Junior School Assembly in the theatre this morning. Please do keep checking in with your child’s class SeeSaw blog for further updates and pictures and keep an eye out for the new Friday Snapshot email. The Friday Snapshot will talk you through the headlines of your child’s learning experiences of the week gone, let you know what is coming in the week ahead and will also share any other key information that should be on your radar. Next week I intend to share the key dates for the summer term with you and will also endeavour to showcase any other wonderful learning moments in the Junior School that I come across. Until then, the Junior School Staff and I wish you a fab bank holiday weekend and we will see you on Tuesday for the next week of learning, experience and adventure! ​ Take care and enjoy your time. Nick O-T NOTICES SCHOOL MESSAGES BOOKMARK BOX FOR UKRAINE The charity Bookmark Reading (whose usual purpose is to volunteer in primary schools to assist children in the UK with reading support) have recently committed to raising £1m to support Ukrainian children who are arriving in the UK. They want to help them start their new chapter in the UK feeling secure, welcome, and inspired. They have therefore created the Bookmark Box for Ukraine, working with literacy experts to carefully curate a box filled with literacy resources and tools to help these children build their familiarity with the English language. In the boxes, they are including high-quality, bilingual books, magazines, activities, school packs and tablets pre-loaded with educational and language apps and eBooks in English and Ukrainian. The tablets will also have SIM cards and mobile data allowance, so the children can stay in touch with friends and family displaced around the world. Please click here for the donation link and further information. LAPTOPS IN SCHOOL Can we please remind you that all students in Years 7 to 13 must have a fully-charged laptop in school everyday. Details of recommended laptop specifications can be found here - www.frensham.org/essential-kit TIMETABLES FOR INDIVIDUAL MUSIC LESSONS Timetables have been prepared for the remainder of this half term, and are available to parents on the Parent Portal under your child’s Real Time Timetable. Schedules for students in years 7 and above are available to them on Teams, and all Junior School Tutors have been sent copies for children in years 3 to 6 who have lessons too – so fingers crossed all will go swimmingly!

RSVP HERE THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM THIS WEEK ELEVATE EDUCATION SEMINAR Elevate Education came into school to run a Year 9 study skills session on Time Management this week - perfect timing, as they work towards their Year 9 assessments. The session shared ideas on how to prioritise time, how to produce a weekly planner, how to create a study group, and how to avoid procrastination. This session will be followed up by another session called Study Sensai at the start of Year 10. The students took away with them a handout with ideas on how to study more efficiently. I hope this was useful and the students took something away from the session. Information which students may find useful can be found on their website. https://uk.elevateeducation.com/home They also run a number of useful parent seminars. Details of these will be emailed home as and when they occur. YRS 11 & 13 FUN Years 11 and 13 took part in some fun activities this week before heading off for study leave. 1/18 1/20 GEOGRAPHY TRIP TO ICELAND Our Geography expedition to Southern Iceland over the Easter Holidays was a truly enriching experience, both socially and educationally. The activities and landscape sparked curiosity and creativity in our students well beyond the remit of Geography. As Linn’s film shows we packed in a fantastic variety of experiences over our 3 night/4 day stay. Our group of 29 students and 4 staff, started our adventure walking through lava caves, immersing ourselves in the closest conditions to complete darkness that many of us will have experienced. We had a fascinating visit to a geothermal power station to help us understand how the Icelandic population power and heat their homes. This also gave us a better insight into why our showers smelt of eggs! Equipped with crampons and ice picks we trekked across part of the Solheimajokull Glacier and enjoyed the spray of one of Iceland’s many beautiful waterfalls by walking all the way behind it. It wasn’t all action however, in keeping with Icelandic tradition we relaxed in thermally heated water in both hot tubs and an open-air pool. We visited the mid-Atlantic ridge to see the division of the North American and European plates, alongside Thingvellir, Iceland’s first parliament. Great Geysir (a spouting hot spring), bubbling volcanic pools, Gulfoss (largest waterfall in Europe), a trip to a dairy farm serving delicious ice cream and walk to the Hard Rock Café along the sea front in Reykjavík via a film set completed our final day. Alas, we never quite got to see a full display of the Northern Lights, although some greening of the sky was reported. However, new friendships were forged and minds and bodies stretched by new experiences. The students were a credit to the school, they were polite, genuinely great company and good humoured, even at 4am on our day of departure! Their engagement and awe in the landscape inspired us all to look at it with new eyes. Our display showing the pictures of our wonderful adventure will be coming to the Geography department soon. Thanks to Will Paskell, Dan Pullen, Linn Kathenes-McGuigan and Karen McBride, Accounts and Support Staff for their help in running the trip. Student comments below:- ‘Best four days ever’ ‘I built a strong connection with people on the trip’ ‘It was mentally healing to be in a new and different place’ ‘So good to get to know people in different years’ ‘Each destination was equally as brilliant, and the bus journeys were fun’ ‘Looking for the Northern lights from hot tubs was amazing’ ‘It was all fab-tastic!’ COSTUME OF SPORT Building on the success of the Regency Morning Talk delivered by Dr Kim Simpson and Clio O’Sullivan as part of our World Book celebrations back in March, the links between Chawton House and Frensham Heights continue! Zoë and Sam from the English Department supported the official opening of the latest exhibition A Costume of Sport which was Clio’s first curation. We look forward to working alongside Chawton House to develop student enrichment opportunities and community collaboration projects in the future. 1/2 WELCOMING UKRANIAN FAMILIES We welcomed 15 local Ukranian families to meet, socialise and select items from the pop up shop of donated toys and clothes. This was captured on BBC South Today last night. It was lovely to meet the families that have travelled so far under such uncertain conditions for the last few weeks. Huge thanks to helping students; Chloe, Olivia, Theo and Kitty and teachers too. 1/2 A ROYAL VISIT Our Year 1 students were treated to a royal visit this week when the Queen came to tea to celebrate her upcoming Jubilee. They all behaved impeccable using their best bows and curtsies and asked many questions about her life and responsibilities. They had a royal tea with cucumber sandwiches and jam tarts. 1/12 YEAR 4 THIS WEEK We held our Yrs 4-6 assembly outside on Tuesday – it was glorious weather and a gorgeous setting. Additionally – Year 4 are focussing on plastic pollution during DT this half term. This week Group 1 reused plastic milk bottles to create bird feeders and snack pots. They worked really well together – there are going to be some happy birds! 1/8 YEAR 8 ART Year 8 this week have had a moment to work together on a larger piece. The creative collective comes to life. Love it!Beautiful!So cute! 1/2 YEAR 9 ART Just to get back to ourselves after the break some of our Year 9 students lost themselves in pastel creations of the moon. 1/3 SAILING INTO THE LONG WEEKEND Nine sailors from years 5 and 6 took part in the first Sailing Club session of the summer term and we'd love to let you know just how great they were! With a mixture of some who have sailed a little, one who has sailed a lot and the majority who have never sailed at all, our time on the water was a great success. The sailors covered the basics; parts of the boat and what they do, how to control our speed, steer and turn our boat around. A special mention for Alexander who mastered falling out of his boat and to Ava for being so helpful to her friends who were learning the ropes! It was great to see everyone out in their boats and I looked forward to seeing them all progress over the coming weeks. Lauren 1/5 SPORTS REPORT THIS WEEK'S SPORTS REPORT Welcome back to students and parents to the best term of the year, summer term!

Over 20 students made up 4 teams in a round robin tournament. As expected the staff never lost a match but it was brilliant seeing so many students keen to play.

THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM Friday 25th March, 2022 CLICK TO NAVIGATE SCHOOL MESSAGES SCHOOL EVENTS THIS WEEK AT SCHOOL SPORTS REPORT FRENSHAM KITCHEN NEXT WEEK A MESSAGE FROM RICK CLICK HERE FOR RICK'S MESSAGE NOTICES SCHOOL MESSAGES FRENSHAM HEIGHTS SCHOOL TRIPS TO BE CARBON NEUTRAL The school are aware of the impact on the environment of our activities. Student voice in the form of Eco Heights and many dedicated staff are working on a strategic environmental plan. This is being developed to cover all aspects of the school’s carbon footprint. There are many aspects to this. From April all school trips will include a small charge in most cases around 1-2% of the cost of the trip that will offset the travel of the trip. In 2021 the Year 7 Hadrian’s Wall trip and the 2022 Iceland trip were both offset. Rather than using a third party the school will be doing the offset itself in the form of tree planting on the school estate. The fund will also be placed in an ethical bank account. UKRAINIAN REFUGEES MEETING As a school we are looking carefully as to how we can best support this situation as well as educate ourselves and come together as one community in the coming weeks. To that end, Lynn G is closely communicating with efforts in our locality and we are now aware of some of our parents who are connected with the same group. TUESDAY 29th MARCH - BALLROOM 7.30pm meeting for any families that are interested in hosting Ukrainian family members. 8.15pm meeting for anyone looking to be a support to the Ukrainian families, offering transport, activities, meals, etc Please do contact Lynngoodburne@frensham.org and she is happy to phone you personally and discuss any of the complexities we are discussing community wide about how we can be supportive right now. LAST CHANCE FOR CAR PARK SURVEY All parents should have received an email inviting them to give their feedback on the car park and drop-off procedures. Please take a couple of minutes to fill in the survey here . PARENT VOICE REPS NEEDED Parent Voice are seeking two new reps to join their volunteer team to cover Year 6 and Year 8 starting in the Summer Term. Becoming a rep is a positive way to get involved at Frensham. Parent Voice is made up of volunteers whose role is to provide a point of contact for feedback, to represent wider parent views fairly and without bias, provide support on general issues and develop opportunities to collaborate with parents and staff to support the joint interests of the school community. Find out more here. For more information and to put yourself forward, please contact: Chair Vicki Nixon vicki@nixonconsultancy.com , Vice Chair Emma Tweed emmatweedradford@icloud.com or Secretary Isobel Hanmer thehanmers@gmail.com MALAWI INFORMATION MEETING – FINAL CALL FOR TEAM MEMBERS FROM YEAR 10 AND ABOVE! On Tuesday 29th March we will be holding an information evening about the Malawi 2023 trip at 7pm in the Billiard Room (please park in the drop-off zone). Anyone who has signed up for the trip, or who is thinking about joining us, is very welcome to come along – parents and students! Linn and I would like to finalise the team so that we can start putting some dates in the diary for pre – trip preparation. I have had quite a few people contact me about the trip so it would be lovely to hear what you have decided to do. IMPORTANT – after talking to Becks and Linn, we would welcome anyone who will be in Year 10, September 2022, to think about coming on the trip. You are very welcome to join us on Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing as many of you who can come as possible! Sally SECOND HAND PE KIT SALE Friends of Frensham will be selling second hand PE kit outside the Aldridge on Tuesday 29th March. CAREERS OPPORTUNITY FOR YEAR 12 Do you have an idea for an Etsy type shop? Do you think you can sell more than your peers? Do you have a flair for persuasion? If you’re answering yes, come and speak to Lyall. On Founders’ Day in July, we have two stalls for Year 12 students to show off their entrepreneurial flair. This can be a solo-project or a team effort. Essentially, if you have an idea for a product or service that you could sell through a market stall then come forward. I want to add an element of competition – can you outperform the other team at the other market stall? Imagine you’re auditioning for The Apprentice; here’s your chance to shine. All ideas are welcome, speak to Lyall to help facilitate your vision. Click here for more information CALLING ALL GAMERS! Right now, we’re looking into the possibility of running an ECA involving gaming. Next year we’re launching the eSports qualification which will see a club set up with Tim and directly supporting those students. But what about everyone else? The chance to play games, socially interact, compare types of gameplay, and build in a little bit of maths to devise tournament play and handicap systems to enable everyone to have a fair chance, is a great way of enhancing students’ development and learning. We hope to be able to trial this ECA in the summer term but need a games console to play the games! If you can donate or let us borrow an Xbox of PS5 (with any games and controllers) that would be greatly appreciated and well-received. If we can get hold of one, the club should run! If you can help, let Lyall know . JUNIOR SCHOOL EGG DECORATING EGG-STRAVAGANZA As we near the end of term we would like to invite all families to join in our Egg-stravagant, egg decorating eggs-hibition.. The aim is to create/decorate an egg or eggs in a theme or setting of your choice. All creations need to be no bigger than a shoe box (in order to fit on classroom windowsills and be carried by your child!) If you are an egg-free family please use craft or plastic eggs (seen recently at Squires Garden Centre). Whole family involvement is encouraged! Please see this article from The Guardian for ideas https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/gallery/2013/mar/28/easter-egg-competition-winners-in-pictures No prizes but plenty of glory for creativity and puns! All entries to be submitted to class teachers by Tuesday, 29th March at morning drop off. All creations will be returned to entrants on last day of term, Friday, 1st April. All entries will be photographed, and a gallery will be published in the whole school newsletter. We look forward to seeing your creations and using this to raise community spirits. TOY SALE Last Friday we held another toy sale, this time in the Nursery to 3 courtyard. Thanks to Paula and Tim Page, all the items were displayed to tempt our younger buyers! As it was fine weather, we also took a chance to sell ice lollies as well. The total amount raised was about £120 so we have, overall, raised about £260 from both sales. This money will be making its way to our friends in Malawi where it will go a very long way to provide supplies. A huge thank you to everyone who donated, sold or bought!

Thank you for your hard work!" - Matilda 1/53 YEAR 6 FOSSILS & EVOLUTION At the end of last week Year 6 had a lovely Friday in the sunshine excavating the fossils that they had created. They discussed why the work of archaeologists were so important, the tools that were used by them and why everything is documented along the journey. They were then presented with a variety of tools to support them in excavating their shell fossil. We have been learning about evolution in class and why fossils are so important in understanding the journey that life on Earth has been through, we have also studied Mary Anning and created beautiful double page spreads all about her life. 1/16 GREENPOWER This week was exciting as we worked on lots of finishing touches to the car. We fitted the bodywork and refitted the rear axle and front end. We also permanently attached the steering wheel and communications button to it so the driver can communicate with the rest of the team at races. We hope to get the car out on the Astro before the end of term so everyone can have a feel for the car before we get it out in our first race after easter. I worked on writing the newsletter article and took some photos of the team hard at work. I am sure I can speak for all the team when I say that I am buzzing with excitement for the car to be finished. ​ Written by Callie 7SVC 1/6 A LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHY Another busy Yr.13 A Level photography week in and out of the studio! 1/4 THIS WEEK'S MAIN HOUSE HEROES Well done to Belize and Kai for a superb couple of weeks around the house.
