WELCOME FROM THE HEAD Thanks to those students, parents and staff that have helped make the year such a success. I am really proud of the excellent work that we continue to do at Heartlands and it grows from strength to strength As always, we say goodbye to our Year 11 students and a number of staff at the end of this year. This is, sadly, part of the cycle of schools. However, it ushers in an exciting period for the school as we begin to build on our first set of GCSE results.

Next year we are bringing character into SEARCH. You might be aware that we have been working really hard on developing character education within the school. The focus for the last half of the Summer Term is optimism and we are looking forward to seeing what the next academic year holds. Thank you to everyone for their hard work this year. I hope you have a relaxing and productive summer.

NEW TARGET SETTING SYSTEM – THE FLIGHT PATH MODEL Staff are busy getting ready for the transition to the new 1-9 assessment structure which will apply from September 2017 for all students in Years 7 to 10. Year 11 will continue to be assessed using the legacy grades in all subjects except English and Maths and there are a handful of GCSE subjects in Year 10 which will continue to teach the legacy syllabus for two more years. This change means that we have adapted our target setting system. We hope that this new simplified system will be much easier for students and parents to follow and understand. It is based on the

expectation that students should make one grade progress each year, totalling five grades of progress by the time they take their GCSEs in Year 11.

As with our old target setting system, this is based on the belief that students should make ‘above expected’ progress at Heartlands. We strive to accelerate the progress students make through excellent teaching, high expectations and targeted intervention. Below you can see the ‘flight path model’ we are using. As the government have not yet published the outcomes of KS2 SATs, we do not yet

know the exact numerical formula for the standard score which will replace the old National Curriculum levels at KS2.

Therefore, we have created six pathways, based on the relative performance of students in primary assessments in relation to the national average.

At GCSE level, grades 9-5 represent a ‘good pass’; this is the standard we expect the majority of our cohort to attain at the end of KS4 and we will provide support and intervention for students, where necessary, to enable them to do this.

PUBLIC EXAMINATIONS Year 11 are currently in the throes of their public examinations and we have been very impressed by their mature and focussed attitude. School revision classes have been very well attended and we ran a very successful weekend revision residential to Woodrow High House in Berkshire. We continue to stress to pupils that the most powerful study is their own independent revision, which should complement the work they do in lessons and in after-school sessions.

The rest of the school will begin their end of year examinations after half term with assessment weeks on the following dates: Year 7 & 8 Exam weeks: 6th-17th June Year 9 Exam week: 13th-17th June Year 10 Exam weeks: 17th-28th June Students should plan their study using the revision timetable planner available on the website, taking regular breaks and using tried and tested techniques to aid with memory: • • • • •

Creating colourful mind maps on topics Active reading using highlighters Memory aids, such as mnemonics and visual cues Look, cover, write, check method Self-testing and practice questions

ACHIEVEMENT SPOTLIGHT Daniella Adeluwoye, a Year 11 student, was successful this year in securing a place at the prestigious Westminister College to study A levels. This selective and high achieving sixth form runs a rigorous selection process which Daniella embarked on alongside her studies. We were delighted to hear that she had been successful. The college will gain a talented, dedicated student who exemplifies the Heartlands ethos of SEARCH for SUCCESS. We are very proud of the determination and ambition shown by our Year 11 cohort in successfully securing sixth form offers at a range of high quality providers. We know the work they are putting into studying for their exams will set them up for excellent futures.

THANK YOU LETTER AWARDS Last term we celebrated gratitude by writing thank you letters. At a time when emails, texts, social media and snapchat dominate so much of our attention, it can be rare to take the time to write a handwritten letter to thank someone who we are truly grateful for. Our students wrote letters to family members, friends, role-models in the community and to celebrities who have inspired them.

They were wonderful to read, and many students commented on how much they enjoyed writing them.

A special congratulations to Rauf Ousmane (Year 11), Peter Davidson (Year 11), Gabriella Stevens (Year 10), Oceanna Lewars (Year 9) and Nabilah Yasmin (Year 8), whose letters were shortlisted for the National Thank You Letter Awards. These students each received a certificate and voucher in recognition of their wonderful words and time spent showing gratitude!

REACHOUT TRIP TO BANK AMERICA Twelve of our Year 9s and 10s took part in a ReachOut public speaking workshop at Bank America recently, travelling in to central London to receive one-toone training from Bank America staff.

Students wrote and prepared their own speeches based on their visions for the future and how they saw themselves getting there.

Not only did they then deliver these speeches the same day, but they delivered them in front of other students and staff from both ReachOut and Bank America – a huge achievement! Special congratulations to Jasmine and Yusuf who both won prizes!

The book group, having all read the shortlisted books, made their own designs and elements from each which were combined to make the final design, including hanging pigeons and aeroplanes, cut-out wolves, and logos for the school and the award along with various designs on the window itself and, of course, the shortlisted books too.

We also met local author Emer Stamp, writer of “The Unbelievable Top Secret Diary of Pig” who was shopping for books. Our students invited her to come to the ceremony, which she did.

Why not visit the Pickled Pepper Bookshop? They run lots of groups and activities for children and young people as well as having a great selection of books and opportunities to meet authors.

MORE ABLE

More Able students have had some really exciting extra curricular opportunities this term. Trips to aspirational top businesses such as Barclays Bank to learn about careers, Sky to design apps and Imperial College to carry out Science experiments.

The highlight was definitely the opportunity for a small group of Year 11 students, whom had already been to Westminster to listen to a US political debate, to attend a Q&A with President Obama at the Southbank.

Keep an eye out for the More Able logo throughout the magazine for articles on

these trips and many more trips, clubs and experiences that the More Able have been involved in.

We are also very proud of all our Year 11 More Able students who have applied for aspirational A Level choices at high achieving Sixth Forms and colleges, for example Begum Balci and Sila Cakir

who both have offers from Woodhouse College. Begum has chosen to study A Level Maths, Physics, Biology and Chemistry and Sila Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Art. We wish them and all of Year 11 the best of luck with their exams and their higher educational choices.

OXFORD PATHWAYS TRIP We started off the day by getting a tour of Oxford, visiting all the main sites of the area including spending a few hours in the University’s natural history museum and all of its many sections including the many taxidermy animals.

A main focal point was the bear, with many people’s excitement being captured here, whereas I was more intrigued by the dinosaur fossils.

After the tour we ate lunch in the college and had the opportunity to talk to current students and tutors about their experiences at Oxford. This was followed by a tour of the College which showed me how there are opportunities to do lots of activities depending on what you’re interested in and loads of new things to try like rowing.

We had a tutorial about developments in early Christianity. This included many details on the growth of Christianity, the changing attitudes to self-circumcision and the effect this had on surrounding populations and how opinions of different things within Christianity were looked at. Also, the development of early religion and how religions diverted and separated from one another. This was not a subject I had ever studied before and showed me that university has lots of new opportunities for me.

SUMMER 2016

The last part of the day focussed on developing our understanding of different people who can make it to Oxford University, and that anyone from any area can attend if they have the aspirations to, and the different types of courses available.

The day has inspired me to pursue going on to Oxford University or other Russell Group Universities which I had not thought I could attend before.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION YEAR 7&8 BUDE RESIDENTIAL

Some students in Year 7 & 8 recently visited Bude, Cornwall for our annual outdoor education residential trip.

Students took part in many activities including surfing, body boarding, canoeing, rock climbing, orienteering, coastal traversing, archery and many more.

It was a hugely enjoyable and successful week which developed studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teamwork and communication skills as well as allowing them to experience a range of new activities.

All students were fantastic throughout the week. The following students received prizes at the end of the week for particularly good behaviour, excellent teamwork, and good communication and listening skills throughout the week: James Miller, Phoebe Willars, Ella Macdonald-Boyle, Phoenix Capstick, Georgina Bradley, Beatrice Bishop, Myfanwy Greene, Amanda Greene, Kenny Rodway, Sila Arslan, Valerio Hendrick, Ashley Meyer, Jude Apcher, Hana Relmy and Brandon Jones-Ritterbusch.

It takes the hard rock longer to erode.

Headlands are formed when the sea attacks a section of coast with alternating bands of hard and soft rock. The bands of soft rock, such as sand and clay, erode more quickly than those of more resistant rock, such as chalk. This leaves a section of land jutting out into the sea, called a headland.

Sea caves occur on almost every cliffed headland or coast where the waves break directly on a rock cliff and are formed by mechanical erosion rather than the chemical solution process that is responsible for the majority of inland caves.

PREDICTING ENERGY USE IN THE FUTURE

By Kini Charles

Currently in Geography, my class, 10X, have been learning and developing our data evaluation skills. Recently, our main tasks have been looking at energy use over 100 years.

Through our research we have found out that over the years, we, as humans, have been using increasingly more fossil fuels, whereas the amount of renewable energy we use has stayed around about the same amount.

We realised that if we wanted our future families down the line to have as many privileges as we do today then we need to be using the least amount of fossil fuels and nonrenewable energy sources as possible, and start using more renewable energy instead. This way, we will preserve what we have now for the future and we can spend those resources onthings like powering machinery that will help research other types of renewable energy sources that we have not yet discovered.

Figure 3: Energy reserves overtime

FRACKING Fracking is a relatively new source of energy. It has been introduced to places such as the UK and US in order to reduce dependency on foreign oil.

What is fracking?

• Fracking uses high-pressure water to shatter shale rocks and release natural gas lurking within. The gas is then piped to the surface.

• Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique designed to recover gas and oil from shale rock.

• Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a highpressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside.

• Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well.

• The process can be carried out vertically or, more commonly, by drilling horizontally to the rock layer and can create new pathways to release gas or can be used to extend

•

existing channels.

The term fracking refers to how the rock is fractured apart by the high pressure mixture.

Does Fracking take place in the UK? • No, fracking does not take place in the UK currently. Drilling for shale gas is only at an exploratory phase in the UK. • More than 100 licences have been awarded by the government to firms in the UK, allowing them to pursue a range of oil and gas exploration activities in certain areas.

• But before firms can begin fracking

they must also receive planning permission from the relevant local council.

Why is it controversial?

• The extensive use of fracking in the US, where it has revolutionised the energy industry, has prompted environmental concerns.

• Fracking uses huge amounts of water, which must be transported to the fracking site, at significant environmental cost.

• Environmentalists say potentially carcinogenic chemicals used may escape and contaminate groundwater around the fracking site. The industry suggests pollution incidents are the results of bad practice, rather than an inherently risky technique.

• There are also worries that the fracking process can cause small earth tremors.

Over two workshop days, 40 art stars from Years 8, 9 and 11 worked in small groups to create large-scale paintings. These will be taken to a community park in Dalston on the 28th June where members of the public will be encouraged to interact with them by using them as backdrops for photos. The project is all about transforming community spaces by bringing art to them, and is a great opportunity for the students to show off and celebrate their artwork in a public space.

We started Day 1 and 2 with learning the basics on the beginners slopes and all students learned how to snowplough and how to turn. Meanwhile, the advanced group (Bailey, Conrad and Kalysta) were tackling red runs further up the mountain and learning how to carve.

By the end of the week all students were successfully skiing blue runs and most were able to parallel turn well. We had some funny trips and slips throughout the week, perhaps the highlight of which was Toby’s ski making a dash for it and taking out a lone snowboarder!

We also enjoyed many Apres-Ski activities throughout the week, including ice skating, bowling, the disco, pizza party and quiz night. The highlight of the Apres-Ski was Jelani earning his “Break Dance King” award by showing off his moves in many a dance-off.

Thank you to Mr Scullion and Mr Adcock who helped to make the week fun for all involved.

LONDON YOUTH GAMES TRAMPOLINING As part of the London Youth Games 2016, The Trampoline Competition took place at Harrow Leisure Centre on Sunday 22nd May.

On Friday 15th April 2016, some of our Year 7 pupils got the unique opportunity to take a trip to Barclays Bank in Canary Wharf and participate in a workshop organised by the charity ReachOut. The pupils did us proud when working with the volunteers of Barclays Bank to plan and budget their own music festival, and then pitch their proposal with the aim of getting a £25,000 loan to fund it. All teams did a fantastic job in presenting their proposals and were highly enthusiastic, articulate and confident in their presentations. Well done!

Students were asked to solve logic problems with students from other schools and had discussions based around number patterns and specific theorems.

Whilst some teams utilised creativity with some innovative and unusual designs, it was the ‘Hybrid’ team who had effectively used Problem Solving to present a viable and low-cost solution suitable for a not-for-profit company.

BUSINESS BLOOMBERG

On 10th May, 30 aspiring Year 9 Business and Economics students had the pleasure of going to Bloomberg Financial headquarters in the City of London. This was a great opportunity for these students to see all aspects of Business and Economics practised in real life.

Students had a chance to listen to various speakers about what Bloomberg does and what the staff roles in the company were. They found out that Bloomberg is building a new site which will be revolutionary for the City of London as its office will introduce a new concept of design for the modern era.

While students were at Bloomberg they had the pleasure of doing some speed dating conversations with a wide range of employees from various different job sectors. This not only showed the variety of jobs available at Bloomberg but also helped these Year 9 students understand how they might be able to one day join a worldwide brand such as Bloomberg.

ALLEN & OVERY On 19th May, 30 students in Year 10 had the pleasure of visiting one of the biggest law firms in the world. Allen and Overy headquarters is based near Liverpool Street and students got to see first hand how this organisation maintains its strong work ethic and the challenges it faces on a daily basis. Throughout the day students were able to speak to staff that hold various job roles such as paralegal to corporate law. Then students were presented with a case each, and in teams had to prepare an argument for either

guilty or not quilty. The Year 10 students presented their arguments to volunteers from Allen and Overy and received some practical advice afterwards on the case they brought forward. It was very clear that all students were engaged in this activity and saw the challenges real lawyers face when trying to win for their respective clients. Hopefully, this trip will inspire a number of students to consider law as a possible career path in the future.

Pupils in Year 7 have signed up to write letters to children who live in Oakland, California. They go to different local schools and meet regularly at their local library in Oakland to write letters to Heartlands. In turn, our pupils at Heartlands meet in the school library regularly to write back (as well as in their own time)! We still have a few spaces if anyone in Year 7 would like to join in.

It’s a great way to make new friends, practise extended writing, and find out about life in another country.

BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS WITH PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Students in a class at Plymouth South Middle School prepared spoken book reviews about their favourite recently read books and the best ones were chosen to read aloud to us over the internet. Our book group and other library users provided the audience after school and asked them questions. The rest of the class in Plymouth sat in the hall and watched on a giant screen!

They are now very excited about whose turn it will be next.

EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES WITH ISLIP, NEW YORK Students from Islip High School Library interviewed our book club over the internet about education in the UK and how it differs from school in the USA. They were very surprised that Heartlands has a uniform (as in America only private schools do this) and they were very keen to find out about the subjects we study and at what ages you change schools and university. You can see video clips of the exchanges on the Library Twitter page @LibraryHHS and @IslipHSLibrary.

Islip have a ‘Big Read’ this term which is the book “I am Malala” so both book groups in the US and UK are reading three versions of the book and then will be discussing them together at our next online meeting.

BOOK REVIEW

The book ‘ALEX AS WELL’ by Alyssa Brugman tells the story of a boy who wants to become a gAAWirl and change his/her identity, and start again.

“

In the story it talks about the struggles of everyday life in the boots of Alex and how she/he wants to be normal like everyone else.

But Alexandria(the girl) is also in the book trying to forget about the other half of her body who is Alex (the boy),who is always haunting Alexandria and that puts her in a place where she finds herself being two different people inside one person.

Alex finds it very hard at her school as everyone bullies him/her from what they know about how he/she wants to change who he/she is.

By that she decides to move schools to start again and be a girl.

”

This book is a very emotional/hopeful book, as it really shows a story from someone else’s mind...

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT The Library celebrated Fairtrade Fortnight with a breaktime ‘Fairtrade Frenzy’ sampling some lovely fairly traded chocolate courtesy of Divine Chocolate and finding out more about Fairtrade products.

This book is a very emotional/ hopeful book, as it really shows a story from someone else’s mind, and how everything is not always all straight forward. The book also shares the

RIDE LONDON I want to take this opportunity to wish our Year 11 Pegasus students ‘Good Luck’ taking part in the Ride London competition on 31st July. Michael and Sam Antwi recently took part in a training day at the Olympic Velopark. During this event they met double olympic Gold medalist and Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins. The twins had to get used to celebrity status when they featured on London BBC news.

Each week during House assemblies, we celebrate the form group merit winner as well as the individual winners. A special mention must go to Tonny Kayondo, who upon winning, was offered a prize, which he could double if he complete a challenge. Tonny in two weeks learnt to perform a cartwheel, and was given a standing ovation when he managed this! It was replicated by Taylor Watson when he won the following week! It shows how supportive Pegasus students are to one another, and highlights their ability to take risks to succeed.

Zubair Rohanzai has featured at the top of the merit charts for a number of weeks recently.

Zubair joined us midway through last academic year and has made fantastic progress. He recently

I am writing to say how Aspire has helped me in school and at home.

First let’s start with how it helped my self control: when ever I got angry they let me go outside the room for like 5 minutes and then they ask me if I’m ready to come in, and if I’m not ready say say have 5 more minutes,

This is why i changed my mind to go to all my lessons so i can catch up with my learning so my future is bright and i get high levels in my gcse.

Secondly it has helped my education, Aspire helped me with my education a lot, first the work in Aspire was simple but then as I started progressing and the work started getting harder and harder and then they warmed me up with some really challenging work.

SUMMER 2016

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Lucia Santi and I am thrilled to have joined the autism team here at the Heartlands Autism Resource Base. I have been appointed as Head of School for the new Free School, The Grove, which the Heartlands Multi Academy Trust plans to open. Unfortunately, this project has been deferred for a year so I will be working alongside the Trust and the Autism team over the next few terms to ensure we open a first-class provision both for our current students and for those that may join us in the future.

Just a little bit about my background.

I started my career in a mainstream primary school but within a short time moved to SEN education. I started to work with young autistic people 15 years ago and I set up an autism resource base for youngsters with complex needs, in the special school where I worked. It received its autism accreditation in 2009.

In 2010 I moved to Barnet where, as Head of School, I set up an SEN school for youngsters on the high functioning end of the autistic spectrum. We received our autism accreditation in 2012 and since then I have worked within the autism accreditation teams carrying out reviews of autism practice in other settings across the country.

Since I started in April, I have been getting to know the students and finding my way around the school. I have been impressed with the enthusiasm and positivity the students in the provision have, and how they have made me feel very welcome.

It is lovely to see how much the students enjoy coming to school and learning.

I am looking forward to finding some time to meet parents and carers and learn about your views and experiences. I am a strong advocate for partnership working so I look forward to our working together to ensure high quality outcomes for your children both here and in the new school.

Lucia Santi

STEP INTO DANCE Well done to all the students who performed at Park View School on Tuesday 26th April.

Our dancers were amazing and did both themselves and our school proud. Thank you to those parents and carers that were able to attend, and of course to the staff who gave their time to support the students. A great success. You can view the photos of the event on the Step into Dance website gallery at http://www. stepintodance.org/gallery/album/663.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! The Autism Provision are looking to raise money for much needed playground equipment. Social communication and interaction are areas of difficulty for people on the autistic spectrum. Breaks and unstructured times can cause high anxiety, quite the opposite for many of us who enjoy this â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeâ&#x20AC;? time.

Money raised will provide equipment to help our students engage in purposeful and enjoyable activities during their breaks and across the school day.

The students are learning how to speak to different people in the community. They are practising role play scenarios, learning how to talk with shop assistants and cashiers in the supermarket. They are also learning about personal space and how important that is for social communication.

The students are currently doing different artwork for the display of ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’ with masks and little owls. They are exploring different textures and collecting natural materials for it.

Neptune has been studying ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’.

To extend students’ understanding of the book, the class watched and read the story, watched videos about owls, filled in different worksheets, and played online games; through it they learned many adjectives and the plot.

The students are cooking every week.

They cut, mix, stir, fry, wash and tidy up independently. They love every tasty and healthy recipe they make like Chinese noodles with stir fry vegetables and soya sauce, chicken fajitas or Caribbean sweet potato chips with coconut oil.

JUPITER Jupiter class have been looking at different emotions using the characters from the Disney film â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Inside outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We have been looking at the range of different feelings within one emotion category and have been identifying what things may make us feel these different emotions.

Jupiter class absolutely love exploring different kinds of putty. It helps some of us to feel calm and relaxed, and we can ask for it when we are feeling anxious. Other times we just like to explore what shapes and models we can build from it. We have strong preferences for our favourite kinds, including how it feels, looks and even smells!

Jupiter class have been learning all about space across our curriculum! We enjoyed re-enacting the first moon walk and presenting TV news reports about what happened in History. We thought about what it might be like to be an astronaut, and wrote our own space diaries documenting our imaginary trips to weird and wacky planets in English. We used paint and shaving foam to make swirly images of these planets in Art. In Science we loved finding out about how the planets orbit the sun and made our own play dough models of this.

Jupiter class have started to complete important class jobs to help keep our environment tidy and organised. We check our job list in the morning and we are starting to become very responsible with this!

SATURN Social communication lessons in Class Saturn have been a huge success. The students are showing signs of development in areas which they struggled to do at the beginning of the term. We have been focussing on ‘saying hello’ while using our good eye contact and playing games that involve expressing our feelings and emotions. The students really enjoy Social Communication.

Performing Arts: Performing Arts has been one of my highlights this year. The students have been working on fun projects showing off their many hidden talents in acting, dancing and using their presenting voice. The students have had two successful shows already where they have performed in front of a huge audience. The first performance was based on ‘showing feelings about Christmas celebrations’, the second one was a short documentary that the students filmed about their ‘feelings about school’. The final is a surprise and the only way you will find out is if you join us in July to watch it (date to be confirmed).

This term the class are studying The BFG by Roald Dahl. 2016 is the 100th anniversary of his birth and his books are a popular choice with the students.

The class have analysed the characters of the story, using adjectives to describe them and through role play. They have created recipes and made their own dream jars of dreams they have had or would like to have. We are now beginning to look at word construction and meaning by creating a range of made up words as Dahl does in the BFG, known as gobblefunk.

In Maths this term we have been collecting, displaying and analysing data. The students have enjoyed devising surveys, asking their friends and recording their findings on bar charts.

The class visited the Alexander Calder exhibition at the Tate Modern and are now creating a series of works influenced by what they saw. They have made a self portrait drawing in space and will be collaborating together to make a large mobile moving sculpture made with delicately balanced or suspended shapes that move in response to touch or air currents.

This lesson has helped the students boost their confidence skills where they are now able to talk about their feelings in front of an audience.

Saturn class now have a fish tank. Fish can be very calming and enjoyable to watch, so we decided to buy a small tank for some fish in our class.

We recently went to Pets at Home to choose the fish and accessories and they have settled into their new home very well. There are six fish and each student has chosen a name for one. They are called Nemo, Cat, Bash, Little, Fish and Little Pip. The fish have proved very popular at leisure times for the students to watch and be soothed by.

To develop their independence in the community, the class have continued to access and enjoy many trips. These also support their learning within the curriculum topics too.

As well as regular weekly trips to the shops to buy ingredients for cooking, and visiting the local library and swimming pool, the class have already visited the Tate Modern for their Art project, travelled down the Thames on a boat to see London Landmarks for Geography and History, but also have other trips arranged too. These include an open top bus ride of London, a trip to The Royal Festival Hall to see the London Philharmonic Orchestra perform and a visit to The Wondercrump World of Roald Dahl too.

In July we will also be looking for giant dream jars as part of the phizzWhizzing public art trail event to celebrate Dahl 100.
