Week 10 Barometer

From the Headmaster Dear Parents, Another busy week and who can believe it's only three weeks until the end of term?

Crazy... Still lots to do though and, with the Christmas trees ordered at both schools and Christmas Cards (with two designs; an amazing job, yet again, by artist Fiona McPherson) waiting expectantly in my office to be written, the festive season is truly upon us.

Those of you attending the Prep School's Candlelit Dinner on Tuesday can look forward to the return of the 'Official Turning on of the Wetherby Prep Christmas Lights’. We did this 'live' a couple of years ago at the start of the event and, whilst I thought it went down rather well, Mr Bayes later remarked, when the topic came up in conversation, "No, Nick; that was ridiculous!"

I dropped it last year but, of course, so many of you asked subsequently, "Are we going to do the lights thing again?" that I’m bringing it back on Tuesday, 'new and improved for 2016'. We are also launching something special at the event, a Baker & Snell initiative no less, that will become a fixture at all of our get-togethers at both the Prep and Senior School from now on. No hints; no clues. You'll just have to turn up on Tuesday night to find out...

The boys and parents said goodbye to her in Assembly and, as you read this, the staff and I are giving our own tribute to Kate Bailey at School. Kate has had such a huge impact on Wetherby Prep these past five years and her contribution to the success and spirit of the School can never be underestimated. Her sense of decency, fun, care and compassion for the boys has been recognised and appreciated by so many in our community over the years. Kate is not 'leaving' though; she's just 'moving' and stays within our Wetherby family as Headmistress of our prestigious new school in New York. I have no doubt she will come to visit us often and I, and many staff, will keep in contact with her regularly and let you know how Wetherby NYC and Kate are getting on. Thank you, Kate. You have had such a positive impact on everyone at Wetherby and New York is very lucky to have you.

Have a good weekend…

'Emojis' was the first collaborative exercise between the two departments. In Graphic Design, the boys brought out their earlier drawn designs using Adobe software and within the Art Suite, they painstakingly carved into their lino an impression of their face and printed from that once completed. I have left your son’s name out to see if you can spot him.

CURRICULUM NEWS From the Geography Department Mrs Deedat writes‌ Year 9 Geographers have just finished a unit on globalisation. This touched on the impact of deindustrialisation on American cities such as Detroit due to outsourcing to countries such as China. This seemed so pertinent to the results of the US elections that we used Monday's lessons to consider the links between deindustrialisation and the election of Donald Trump. Above are some images of posters the boys made either campaigning against sweatshops or about globalisation in general.

In Year 8 the boys have been studying population and urbanisation in Geography. Here, the boys are deciding how best to spend funds dedicated to improving the lives of slum dwellers in Rio de Janeiro.

Another busy week in Biology! The Year 10 boys have been studying photosynthesis and carried out an investigation where they tested leaves for the presence of starch.

The Year 8 boys have been continuing to study the respiratory system and made their own bell jar model of the lungs. My favourite had to be Max and Jacques's model from 8.1, which was complete with lips, abs, pecs and ribs!

Year 10 African Music Fusion Workshop On Wednesday afternoon the Year 10 GCSE musicians from Wetherby Senior visited our fellow Alpha Plus senior school, Portland Place where they took part in a workshop led by Jally (http:// jallykebbasusso.com), a Gambian kora player. Jally gave a performance and spoke about the West African Griot tradition. Jally then helped us create our own mini-composition music, fusing together the traditional kora playing with a house beat and rhythmic contributions from the students. The Year 10s will soon be sequencing their own pieces of World/Dance fusion for their GCSE so this was a fantastic introduction! Thanks for inviting us Portland Place!

CURRICULUM NEWS From the Chemistry Department Miss Hoskins writes...

This week in Chemistry the Year 8 boys have been learning about the reactivity series and how a more reactive metal will take the place of a less reactive metal in a compound if they are reacted together. As an example of this we looked at the Thermite reaction which engineers use to produce liquid iron to fill gaps in railway lines.

The equation for the reaction is: Aluminium + Iron oxide ďƒ Aluminium oxide + Iron This is an incredibly exothermic reaction and can reach temperatures of about 1500°C

BIG NEWS FROM THE DRAMA DEPARTMENT… AUDITIONS FOR WETHERBY SENIOR SCHOOL’S BIG SCHOOL SHOW ARE COMING SOON! What’s the play and who’s it by?

Reputable professional theatre company ‘Les Enfant Terribles’, creators of Alice’s Underground Adventures and Dinner with the Twits, will be coming into Wetherby Senior School to create a exclusive play for us. The cast members will have the chance to work with these professional actors/ directors, be part of creating this ‘never seen before’ play and star in the production.

When will the play be?

This play will be performed in the final week of the Spring term, on the evenings of Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th March. Please ensure you are free on these evenings prior to auditioning.

What exactly is Miss Twomey looking for?

As all cast members will be involved in creating the play itself alongside the professional actors, Miss Twomey is looking for creative and focused boys. If you love acting, devising plays and creative projects this is likely to be the best thing you do all year!

Will this play involve a lot of work?

Being in a school show is a commitment that must be thought through carefully. Boys will be asked to attend regular rehearsals and it is important that they are dedicated and motivated.

When will auditions be?

Auditions for Years 9 and 10 will be held at the start of lunch on Monday 5 th December at 13:15 Auditions for Years 7 and 8 will be held at the start of lunch on Tuesday 6 th December at 13:15

What do I need to do to prepare for the audition?

You will need to learn the script in the text box at the bottom off-by-heart to perform at the audition. I would like you to use your imagination when thinking about the character, is he young, old, nice, mean, silly, naïve, sneaky, charming or something else entirely? There is no ‘correct’ answer, just apply confidence and imagination….

I saved my pocket money for three weeks. I didn’t buy anything. No comics, no crisps, no sweets. I went to the pet shop and bought this tiny green snake instead. But, once I got home I realised I could never keep the snake.

Not as a pet. So I had to get rid of it. But how? All sorts of things occurred to me. Flush it down the toilet. Bury it. Throw it from a tower block. But all the while another thought was taking place. I was going to eat it.

CURRICULUM NEWS From the English Department Miss Kirk writes...

This week, Year 7 have been introduced to the characters and themes of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. After studying the opening scene, where Egeus insists that his daughter, Hermia, marries Demetrius, despite her love for Lysander, the boys were outraged!

The consensus was that Demetrius should marry Helena, Hermia’s best friend who is besotted with him, rather than try to ruin the happiness of an utterly smitten couple.

In order to explore the motivations and most hidden thoughts and feelings of the lovers and tyrannical male figures who ‘set down the law’- Theseus and Egeusthe boys participated in hot seating and also had to move around the classroom entirely in character at all times.

I fear how heated things will get in my classroom after the ‘cat fight’ between Helena and Hermia takes place in the forest having seen the altercation that took place between Demetrius and Lysander…

A livid Egeus (Gabriel Tournant) casts a stony glare at his audience when it is suggested that he should give his daughter more freedom. That was not the 16th century way of doing things, don't you know!

Demetrius (Rafael Hajjar) makes it clear to Lysander (Danny Barter) that nothing will stand between him and his goal; he will marry Hermia whether he has to drag her down the aisle or not!

An alternative to approach to Demetrius (Danny Silver) swaggers into court confident that his favour with Hermia's father will put him in good stead to get what he wants.

Demetrius (Luca Obertelli) explains why he will clean the floor with Lysander if he continues to stand between he and Hermia. Well, he'll order a hit man at least as he's not to keen on the prospect of getting his own hands dirty...

12 The Barometer - 18/11/2016

Duke Theseus (Danny Barter) responds to Faisal Abaalkhail's question about why he believes that he has the right to threaten Hermia with death with extreme selfassuredness; he always knows best.

CURRICULUM NEWS From the Drama Department Miss Twomey writes...

This week, the Year 10 Drama students travelled to the Ambassadors theatre to watch DNA by Dennis Kelly. The play follows a group of friends who hang out in the woods and clearly view themselves as ‘the ones not to be messed with’.

Unfortunately one of their stunts, which involved bullying fellow pupil Adam, has spiralled out of control. Adam has fallen down a well and the group are now facing the possibility of a life behind bars.

This scenario of utter panic caused the dialogue to be rapid in pace and the confusion towards the situation was shown through repetition, particularly the scenes between Danny and Mark.

The boys were particularly inspired by the creative staging. The set was created using plastic sheeting and cardboard boxes, all music and sound effects were played live on stage by two guitars and all lighting was staged using hand held torches and minifloodlights.

The Year 10 boys now have lots of creative ideas for their own GCSE playwriting module! Watch this space…

Sean Masri (Year 10) writes…

On Wednesday the 6 drama GCSE boys went to watch the play DNA at The Ambassadors Theatre.

Overall, I enjoyed the play because the structure and ideas were completely different to other plays I've seen. In addition the dialogue had a great balance of comedy and seriousness and that made the play very effective. Instead of using the lights they used hand torches and handheld floodlights to create light in different shapes and with different effects. They used the lights for dark moments and when a character said an important line. They also used the lights to create the illusion of the well that Adam fell down. I found that the acting was amazing and that the character development and change was interesting. All in all I enjoyed the play and so did the other boys.

CURRICULUM NEWS From the Spanish Department Mr McFaul writes…

On Thursday night, Year 10 boys headed out to la Tasca, a local Spanish tapas restaurant near school (aren't we lucky!) to tuck into a traditional Spanish meal. In the south of Spain, tapas is a traditional meal, usually eaten at mid-day. It consists of lots of bar snacks or ‘raciones’ – larger plates, usually enjoyed alongside a cold beer, or a glass of wine or sherry. Needless to say, our boys washed theirs down with a few glasses of Coke or Fanta. At the restaurant we were treated to a banquet of what seemed like a never ending flow of terracotta dishes filled with delicious tapas.

Hake, chorizo, meatballs, potatoes, croquettes, paella, you name it.....our boys ate it all!

The boys had obviously worked up an appetite beforehand during Games, and it wasn't long before they had cleared the table! Lots of boys used Spanish to order and communicate with the waiters and thoroughly enjoyed their meal.

Considering these iGCSE boys have been studying Spanish for a little more Hitting The Nail On The Head: than two months, I think they did a Language Idioms of the Week pretty good job! Well done, boys! I think we will do this again!

SPORTING NEWS Year 7/8 Football WSS B vs. WPS Mr Underwood writes...

The seventh game of the season saw Wetherby Senior entertain Wetherby Prep 2nd XI on a cold Wednesday afternoon. We struggled to get into the game during the initial phases, with Leo Maydannik, Atticus Cobb and Max Hashem under wave after wave of attacks from WPS. As expected from this situation, they finally converted chances into goals.

After a half time talk, the boys took to the field with a heightened intensity and pride. Increasing the pressure on the opposition, especially from Raphael Marinof and Rafael Hajjar, we began to regain possession higher up the pitch. With the outlets of Oscar Cornaby and Zachary Goodwin, we began to fashion opportunities to score. After

good play from Daniel Silver and Jude Brazier, we managed to earn our reward after Alessandro Guglielmi thrashed a cross into the goal. With this sustained pressure, WPS were making mistakes and, after a Atticus Cobb shot, the ball deflected off Joao Correia into the goal.

We sustained this pressure throughout the remainder of the game, with chances falling to Rafael Hajjar and Himat Singh Virdee but they were thwarted by a superb goalkeeping display.

With the final kicks of the game, Zachary Goodwin popped up in the box to continue his goal-scoring streak, tapping home a rebound after a Daniel Silver assist.

The Man of the Match award goes to Raphael Marinof. Raphael was a constant defensive force, intercepting the ball and regularly beating the opposition with his skills and speed. Well done Raphael!

WSS C vs. WPS

up at the half time break.

Mr Betts writes....

The second half could not have been more similar than the first with both teams having around 50% each. Once again there was only one goal in the half but what a beauty it was.

Luca Grinceri, our captain for the day, struck a beautiful half volley on the tern from the corner of the box only for the ball to sail into the top right hand corner of the goal. What a way to seal it.

On Wednesday the Wetherby Senior School U13C boys faced off once again against the Prep School. This time the fixture took place at the Park Club and having had an action packed game in the previous fixture both the boys and staff were looking forward to the game.

The match was evenly contested throughout with both teams struggling to gain the momentum.

Late in the first half Manu managed to beat the opposition defender and score to put WSS 1-0

A great 2-0 win for the boys today after a fantastic team display.

SPORTING NEWS WSS D vs. WPS Mr Sullivan writes…

Our second fixture against WPS! It was a great game from start to finish with WSS showing how much they have improved as the term has gone on. Faisal was a key figure in the game scoring a fantastically worked goal. Tommaso and Robert managed to grab a goal each after a beautiful solo run through the opposition midfield and defence by Vasco. Despite conceding a couple late goals, Wetherby Prep ran out victorious with a score line of 5 - 3. Another fantastic day and a huge improvement by the boys. Well done. Man of the match: Vasco de Noronha for his super work rate.

Year 10 Rugby WSS A vs. Mill Hill Mr Sullivan writes…

After a long wait… we played our first game on WSG new 1st team pitch. Although Wetherby conceded two quick tries, we soon came back into the game when JP Cairaschi returned a poor kick and ran down the right wing and took on, what appeared like, the whole back line before being tackled and recycling the ball quickly which lead to our super sub Matthew Monaghan scoring in the corner.

Our running and expansive style of rugby continued throughout much of the second half and paid off when Matthew Monaghan made another line break but unfortunately we dropped the ball.

Although gaps in Wetherby's defence saw us concede further points, the boys can take a lot of heart away from their performance. This can be best highlighted with their ability to tackle; run confidently with ball in hand and improved rucking. JP once again shone, tackling with conviction and breaking the line. He was awarded Man of the Match as a result of his efforts. This all bodes well for the rest of the season, where a victory against CVMS is surely only around the corner.

WSS B vs. Mill Hill Mr Underwood writes...

18 The Barometer - 18/11/2016

The Year 10 B team hosted Mill Hill on Tuesday afternoon at WSG. From the first whistle, our boys struggled to get into the game. With Mill Hill using the ample space on the pitch in the initial stages, they were able to score early tries to gain control of the game.

With some good work from Jack Connolly and Talal Hangari, we began to gain ground and advance towards the opposition try line with straight running and breaking the opposition defensive line. With the wind in our sails, we continued to exert pressure on the opposition. Regaining the ball close to the opposition try line, we worked it wide, using space effectively.

However, simple mistakes reared their head again and Wetherby were unable to capitalise on the space available.

Into the second half, the game became a stalemate for 10 minutes. Both Mill Hill and Wetherby locked horns, with neither giving ground. After a Wetherby error, Mill Hill took advantage of a loose pass, scoring their fifth try of the game.

The remainder of the half passed without incident, with some good play from both teams. The game came to a close after a superb try from Mill Hill, exploiting gaps in the line and using it to their advantage.

A Man of the Match performance from Jack Connolly due to his constant communication skills, aiding his teammates with directions to attack and formations to defend. Well done Jack, keep it up.

ON THE HOTSEAT Hello and welcome to Week 7 of “On the Hot Seat”. Given that the average Barometer is read by over 350 people AND according to our gracious editor’s statistics we have readers in at least 6 continents, we thought it was about time we upped our game. Therefore ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, we linguists from the Bulstrode Building ventured over to Marylebone on the hunt for a Deputy Head.

Did you know, dear readers, that Mr Lawrence, (when he isn’t teaching English or trying to help manage our school), enjoys a spot of diving whilst on holiday? He once had the electrifying experience of encountering an ocean-going Sandbar shark (about 2.5m long) on his first advanced open water dive at Ras Mohammed in the Red Sea. We know, we wanted to hum the Jaws theme tune too, (duh duh, duh duh, duhduhduhduh….)

He is also a talented singer and sang in Merton College Oxford, St Paul’s and Westminster Abbey last summer, (we won’t mention that we entered him for the X-Factor next year!) He has the shortest commute to school of any teacher at WSS, (let’s not talk about ours – everyone loves the central line during rush hour!) and should, by proximity of birth, be a Crystal Palace fan… but don’t tell Mr Baker as it will make him very cross!

So, on that bombshell let us begin…

1) Keats or Wordsworth?

Keats 2) Rugby or Football?

Rugby 3) Coffee or tea Coffee 4) Ketchup or mustard?

Mustard 5) Truth or dare?

Dare 6) Bond or Bourne (a resounding…) BOND 7) Radio 2 or Radio 4?

Radio 3 (dear readers, only a Deputy Head could get away with this blatant disregard for the rules) 8) The Natural History Museum or The National Gallery?
