Welcome to the April Newsletter 2014

From the Deputy Headmaster


Dear Parents,

So much of what we’re proud of in terms of our pupils’ development here at King’s is quantifiably immeasurable: growth in self-confidence, a ‘can-do’ spirit, kindness to others and an ever-present aspiration to succeed. 

However, when you reflect upon the range and level of experiential involvement showcased in every monthly newsletter across the whole College from Early Years to 6th Form, you begin to understand why it is that the increasing number of alumni who are keeping in contact with us are engaged in such inspiring careers where they are clearly making a genuine difference.

Whilst there can be no denying that the excellent exam results our pupils achieve provide a significant springboard to a brighter future beyond school, for me it is the values, qualities and interpersonal skills which really make King’s students stand out in an increasingly challenging job market.  Indeed, a visiting executive from Boeing España recently confirmed this by openly disclosing that job applicants who have King’s College on their CV are directly moved to the top of the ‘to interview’ pile.

Nevertheless, the public exam season is imminent and, as usual, that will sharpen everyone’s focus in the short term.

Best regards



Charles Ellison 
Deputy Headmaster

Whole School 

Record University Offers

 
This year our Year 13 students set a number of university offer records: the fastest ever offer received (less than 24 hours after submitting an application), the highest number of Oxbridge and Ivy League invitations to interview, and the largest number of UK Russell Group offers in total. We feel sure that much of this success is attributable to a more thorough and in-depth university preparation process earlier in Year 12 delivered by both our internal experts and external guest advisers, the submission of UCAS applications earlier in the first term of Year 13, and the ever increasing ambition of King’s students.  Furthermore, the College academic records our students have set in their IGCSEs in recent years is clearly making them stand out on paper. 
 

 
One student, however, deserves special mention this year for her quite astonishing application success: boarding student Kelsey Young who is looking to read Economics has secured offers from no less than five of the eight Ivy League US institutions (Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth), alongside Cambridge, Durham, UCL and Warwick in the UK.  Furthermore, she has also been invited to attend MIT and Stanford!  This list includes six of the top eight ranked universities in the world.

The Mighty Merienda

 
During the final few days of last term we celebrated the traditional end of term Mighty Merienda.  This time we managed to raise an amazing 1114.73€ for Fundación Juegaterapia for their wonderful work providing resources to hospitalized children with long term illnesses.


 
A huge thank you to all those who came along to support the event and to keep the spirit of the Mighty Merienda alive. A special thank you to all those who also donated something to sell, and to all the teachers and 6th formers who came along to help out.
 
We will be holding our end of school year Merienda during the last couple of weeks of this term. We will be sending the date out to all Primary parents shortly.
 

Music Springs Into Action
 

Spring 2014 has been an exceptionally busy time for the talented musicians at King's with a number of hugely varied and entertaining performances. We enjoyed the Music School Festival (with over 160 pupils performing throughout the day), the Junior Spring Concert, a concert of orchestral classic film theme tunes, a pop concert, a ukulele concert and of course the musical Rock of Ages. There are a greater number of pupils learning an instrument than ever before and all are keen to take to the stage to demonstrate their ever-improving skills.
 

 

New College Shop

 
Looking ahead to the forthcoming academic year, we are keen to extend our Secondary teaching and learning facilities to ensure we accommodate our exam year groups in high quality, fit-for-purpose classrooms. We are also keen to provide a more modern facility for parents and pupils in regard to the services provided by the College Shop. Consequently, work will shortly get underway on the construction of a new shop with connected toilets in the picnic space presently between the car park and the playground areas. The new building’s situation will make access for parents far simpler, whilst allowing for a more spacious interior. The old shop area will be converted into smart new classrooms for September. There will be some negative impact temporarily on the drop-off space within the car park, so do please bear with us until construction is complete in the summer.

Social Media and the King’s College Alumni Association

 
Earlier this month the King’s College Marketing team from central services in Madrid visited the school to speak to both pupils and staff about social media and the King’s College Alumni Association.

At King’s College we are dedicated to supporting our pupils through the entire academic journey. Therefore, the focus of the sessions was to engage with Year 12 and 13 pupils about getting the most out of social media in a professional context for life after education, as well as to share some advice and information about the importance of networking.

Lauren Taylor, Marketing Manager and Jake Pittman, Alumni Association and Social Media Coordinator, led the sessions and took questions from pupils about how they can effectively engage on social media platforms. 

LinkedIn was the hot topic of information to help pupils understand the importance of creating a professional image on the internet.  This is especially crucial when applying for work placements, UCAS and eventually entering the wider world of work; so that they have a professional and complete profile to showcase their achievements and interests.
 

Sessions also included practical advice such as:
  • Think before you post
  • Keep professional social media accounts updated to accurately reflect your CV
  • Use separate email addresses for social and professional contexts online and offline
  • Be honest with what you post
  • Focus on your unique selling points to help you stand out from the crowd
  • Build a professional network and retain contacts from every professional experience
 
Click here to view the LinkedIn video “Top 5 Tips for Students”. 

In addition to the social media workshop, pupils were also informed about the King’s College Alumni Association, and how they can stay in touch once they leave the school.
 

The “King's College Alumni” group was created to allow former King's College pupils from schools across the King’s Group locations to stay connected online. The group is based on professional social networking site LinkedIn and allows members to contact one another, share ideas, news and also be made aware of planned events and alumni reunions which are held each year.

If you are interested in joining our network, you must be a King's College pupil or ex-pupil. Employees of the company or people wishing to follow the activity of the school and/or King’s Group, such as parents or co-workers, are encouraged to follow the “King’s Group” company page, also available on LinkedIn.

Primary News

Maths Day 2014

 
This year we celebrated Maths Day by having a very special day in the Infant classes. It was a very exciting day with many parents coming in to join the children. 
 
In Key Stage 1 the children had lots of different maths activities based on problem solving, time and measure both inside the classroom and outdoors. Outside the children enjoyed playing a traditional game ‘What’s The Time Mr Wolf.’ They also made cocktails measuring the amount of each ingredient that was needed. To practice the use of numbers the children played board games. Everybody also had a turn on the computer trying to beat the clock.
                         
 
In Reception each classroom had a different mathematical theme. In the Owl class there were lots of activities based on numbers and how to use them. They enjoyed addition and subtraction puzzles, a huge number square to 100 and a Jack and the Beanstalk game. In the Sea Horse class there were a variety of activities involving shape including 2D and 3D shapes. The children used magnetic balls to make models; they made pictures using 2D gummed paper and played a bean bag game by throwing the same shape into the correct hole. The Penguin class had lots of activities centered on capacity, measurement and comparative language.
 

We explored different forms of capacity encouraging the children to use words such as full, empty as well as half full or half empty as they investigated guttering and water. The children had to solve problems, for instance they had to find how many small bottles of water were needed to fill the big bottles.
  
 
 
The children were encouraged to make snakes using plasticine and to describe which was shortest, which was the longest and were any the same. 
 
 

The Nursery Shows


Over the last few weeks, there has been much excited anticipation in the Nursery block, as the three classes have prepared for, and finally performed, their shows. As for most of the children, this was their first experience of performing on a stage in public, it was very important to gradually build their confidence and help them feel as comfortable as possible in the spotlight.
   

 
We began by learning songs as a class, and then encouraging the children to perform using the classroom steps for accessing the interactive whiteboard, as a stage. We then chose songs for the shows, based on those which the children most enjoyed.
   

 
Once all the children were familiar with the songs and dances, we took them into the auditorium, where they rushed onto the stage with the enthusiasm of seasoned performers. All of the children loved being on the stage, although some preferred to perform as a group, whilst others were eager to grab their chance of stardom.
                                                             
Every child was given a specific role, in accordance with their preferences, in addition to singing and dancing as a class. Parents were informed as to the provision of costumes for their child and staff frantically prepared props, programmes and a backdrop.
 
              
After a full run through in front of older children, the days arrived for the main performances with an audience of families and friends. The children could not wait to get into the auditorium, whilst staff remembered the old saying about never working with animals or children. Such young children are notoriously unpredictable and no one could guess how they would react on the day, especially once they had seen their much loved Mums and Dads.    
 
           
 
All three shows were a resounding success showcasing the progress the children have made since starting school. They spoke and sang in English, danced energetically and all with huge smiles. The tears belonged to proud staff and parents. Afterwards, all the children wanted to know when they could do another show and are looking forward to their show in Reception.
 

Speaking Challenge

 
Over the Easter Holidays we set our first Speaking Challenge homework to the pupils in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The Speaking Challenge for last month was for the children to tell us about their Easter holiday. We are constantly looking for new ways to develop the children’s English skills. By encouraging the children to speak in English wherever possible, it will help them build their confidence and in turn help with all areas of the English Language. Spoken English is extremely important and an area that we feel is vital for our pupils. Using the website Vocaroo, pupils have recorded their messages and sent them to us here at school. We are extremely impressed with the number of children that have taken up the challenge and by the exciting things they did over the holiday. In a couple of weeks we will be setting our next Speaking Challenge. 

 

Ready Steady Grow!


In the Reception classes they have been covering a lot during the last term. The topic has been growth which has been incorporated into a wide variety of activities to help the children with their learning. Initially they learnt all about growth and studied photos of themselves when they were babies, then toddlers and now. It was hard to believe how much everyone changes. Then parents were invited with their babies to visit and enable us to see the changes, such as being able to read and write. The difference was amazing the children really showed their caring natures too as they brought out many toys to help entertain the babies. They had lots of questions to ask as well,  Irene (Penguin class) was keen to know where the babies sleep.
 

 
The children learnt that in order to continue to grow it is important to stay healthy, so we invited a doctor in to school to help them learn more. She gave several children pretend wounds and taught them how to dress and care for the injured - which was both fun and educational. 
 

 
The children continued the topic by learning about plants and how they grow. Whilst visiting a local garden centre they discovered that most plants need water and sun to help them grow. The children even got the opportunity to chose a plant to take home, with the task of; trying  to keep it alive. The children were fascinated by the Venus Fly Trap. Some loved it, others found it frightening. Everybody was encouraged to use their senses such as smelling and touching to explore several plants.
 
Noa decided to test the Venus Fly Trap using a long leaf, she wasn’t quite brave enough to use her finger and others soon decided to copy her idea. Some of the smells of the plants were wonderful. 
                  
 
Dario decided to play safe and used the pinchers to pick up the cactus rather than risk injury though Maria decided to see what it really felt like.
 

Next the children started to work on their own allotments. Each class had its own vegetable patch and had to work really hard as a team to clear it. There were so many weeds they looked more like a jungle than a vegetable plot.
                                                                                                                       
Previously the children have grown some plants in the classroom from seed; beans, horse radish and sunflowers, as well as adding in tomatoes, lettuce and potatoes. The aim now is to grow enough to sell at the last Mighty Merienda of the year, so do look out for the stall nearer the time.
 

 
Even though it has been very busy it did not stop Reception from joining in Colour Day. Starting off the afternoon altogether in the Movement Room and playing a colour game using hula hoops. 
 

 
In the classrooms the fun continued: decorating biscuits, play with coloured shaving foam and everybody made a hat to wear home with a motif on it. It has been an amazing term with all the children thoroughly enjoying their learning experiences. 

 

New Year 2 House Captains

 
For the start of the new term we have selected 4 new Year 2 House Captains. This time they have been chosen from Tiger class (Year 2B). The children who will be carrying out this responsibility this term are Ariadna G (Knight House), Alonso A (Crown House), Patricia M (Shield House) and Carlos S (Lion House).
 

 
Well done and good luck in your new roles. 
 

Book Week in the Primary School

 
This week we celebrated Book Week throughout the Primary School. The week involved celebrating the delights of children's literature and sharing favourite stories and tales. The theme of the week was ‘Magic’.

Children were told stories of magic from a range of authors from CS Lewis to Julia Donaldson, Lewis Carroll to Roald Dahl. It was truly magical to hear all these stories been told throughout the classes of the Primary School. The Junior pupils visited the Infant classes to read with the children and to share some of their own stories that they had written. They had produced some wonderful front covers and some amazing pieces of art.  

On Thursday the Infant children had a very special visit from Heather Parfitt, The Story Fairy, (a professional Story Teller) who came into school to tell interactive stories to the KS1 and EYFS classes. The children were delighted to dress up as the characters from the tales and act out parts of the stories as well as playing instruments to accompany the stories.

Heather will also be telling her stories at the May Fair on Saturday 24th May. Do come along and see her there.
 
On Friday, the children (and teachers and assistants) came to school dressed in their pyjamas, recreating the bedtime story theme. As a magical end to the week, parents of the Infant children were also invited into the classes to read favourite stories with small groups of children.
 

The children thoroughly enjoyed the special Book Week and we're sure that there will be many requests for Ratoncito Perez and the Tooth Fairy to bring books on their next visit.
 
 

Year 3 Visit to the Planetarium


The Year 3 classes visited the Madrid Planetarium just before the Easter holidays to supplement the work that they had been doing in Conocimiento Del Medio on ‘The Earth, the Sun, and the Moon.’
 

 
At the Planetarium the children saw a film about the solar system, that was specially adapted for their age group.
 

 
The children were then able to look around the different areas within the Planetarium guided by their teachers and the specialist guides.
 

5B Tropical Rainforest Assembly


By Marta T & Andrea C 5B

We worked very hard for this assembly and were very proud of ourselves. The assembly was about saving the rain forests; we did this through dance, song and poems. We tried to spread the message to everybody. Saving the rainforests is a very serious theme. We shared and performed our best pieces of writing, poetry, ICT skills & musical talent. We wouldn’t have been able to do this assembly without the help from Ms Booth & Ms Amos. When we were little, we used to make more mistakes when we performed. But as we all know, we learn from our mistakes. This time we feel the assembly went very well. 

 

Year 5 Trip to the Botanical Gardens


By Paula and Lucas, Year 5.

On Monday the 7th of April, Year 5 made a trip to the Botanical Gardens - to further study about the life cycles of plants in relation to our science topic.

The Botanical Gardens have loads of different types of plants from all around the world. They are located in Paseo del Prado, in Madrid, next to the Prado Museum.
 

 
The visit had two parts. The first part, Year 5 were given a map and they had to search for the plants which were indicated on it. My group found the plant of the month (El arbol del amor) and another four plants.

In the second part, we observed the plants closely and drew a detailed picture of a plant and labeled all its parts. Luckily we also got to see an amazing Bonsai Tree exhibition. It was great.
 

 
In between the two parts of the day we had a very enjoyable lunch in the Retiro Park (very near to the Botanical Gardens) and we had a lot time to play with each other.

Finally, after an exhausting day, we got on the buses and went back to school where our parents took us home. 
 

Weee-Man  Project Year 6


By Mr Tamblyn.

After studying many aspects of saving the environment, Year 6 embarked on a design and technology based art project which was inspired by this theme.
 

 
The topic was Weee-Man which stands for Waste Electrical Electronic Equipment. The actual Weee-Man lives in the UK in Cornwall at a place called the Eden Project (http://www.weeeman.org/). He is a personified model which stands 7 metres tall and is made purely of WEEE. In fact, the entire model weighs 3.3 tonnes which is supposed to represent all of the electrical products that a person would throw away in their lifetime. It is made from everything from washing machines, mobile phones to computer mice. The aim of this "Art with a message" is to inform people about the problems of landfill sites and how we need to reduce, reuse, recycle and recover our electrical products.
 

 
Enthused by this area of the curriculum, the children set out trying to design their own model, that had an environmental message. The aim of the project was to work in groups to produce something that informed people about an area of the environment that needs our help.

The children came up with some fantastic ideas that really did encompass the idea of art with a message. From tin can dispossal to tree felling, many anxieties about the state of the planet were reinforced by the children´s models.
 

 
Certainly a very memorable and purposeful art project. Overall, we hope this topic turns out environmentally aware citizens who will look after the planet for future generations.
 
It was fun because you could recycle things and clear your house, as well as making a really cool model that told people about the 4Rs.  (Mariña 6M)

I enjoyed making the model because you could use lots of WEEE products to create whatever you wanted. (Alex 6M)

 

Year 6 Visit to the ‘Asamblea de Madrid’


Our Year 6 classes were very fortunate to be able to visit the 'Asamblea de Madrid' to complement the work that they have been doing in Conocimiento del Medio around the theme of ‘Spanish Institutions'.
 

During the visit the children could explore this place of such importance where laws are made, debates take place, and the President of the Community of Madrid is chosen.
 

 
They had the opportunity to sit in the actual seats where the ‘Diputados’ sit, and all listened carefully to the guide’s explanations. The children were fortunate enough to meet one of the ‘Diputados’ - Sr. D. Pedro Núñez Morgades. After the activity the children received a gift and a photo as a memory of this important visit.
 

 

6B’s Class Assembly


“Global Warming. That’s the problem,” the children told Mrs Parkinson (played by Valeria).

6B had lots of fun preparing their class assembly for their parents and the children in Years 5 and 6.

Based around their term 2 topic: the Environment, the class worked hard to learn all they could about global warming. They made a powerpoint and worked hard on the message they wanted to give to their peers. Wanting to get across that even though they were ‘just kids’ they could make a difference; they could work together, towards a better future.

 
All students worked extremely hard on their drama skills, both acting and using their voices to entertain the audience.

“Mrs Banks told us that we had to stand at the bottom of our gardens and see if our parents could hear what we were saying. It was good practice for projecting our voices” laughed Maria.
 
Valeria made an excellent Mrs Parkinson and throughout the performance ‘the real boss’ could be heard chuckling away in the front row.

“I was really impressed by how clearly everyone spoke and definitely left with food for thought,” said Luca’s mother.

Sponsored Swimathon

 
To coincide with the recent World Water Day, Miss Tobia, the Charities Committee and a number of eager 6th Formers coordinated a sponsored swimathon involving a non-stop relay of laps in the pool.  The money raised is pledged to support the creation of water wells for the most neady in Africa.  Remarkably, over 1535€ was raised, so congratulations to all involved, especially Miss Tobia who volunteered to have projectile sponges launched at her by paying pupils as an extra fund-raising side show.
 

 

Rock of Ages
 

This year's annual Drama Society musical, Rock of Ages, was a real assault on the senses. Loud rock music from the '80s, big hair, tight trousers and lots of leather. Performances were given to the excited pupils during the day with two evening performances for parents and the public during the final week of term.
 

 
The Society began auditions and rehearsing way back in September and the quality of the acting, singing and music was better than ever. With a number of keen rock musicians presently in the 6th Form, the choice of production was an inspired one by Miss Dunlop (Head of Drama) and Miss Longdon (Director of Music), and lots of parents and staff enjoyed reliving their musical youth.

Congratulations to all involved, both front stage and back.
 

 

The House Lip Dub Competition


The House Lip Dub is perhaps the event that involves most pupils and creates the most fun of all the House Competitions. It is a music video made by each house using pupils and staff as actors and props. The criteria for success in the Lip Dub is based on Involvement of pupils and teachers, creativity, accuracy dubbing of the singing, the quality of the performance and the use of House colour in the costumes and props.

As you can see from the videos, that are available by clicking on the links below, it was very difficult to judge as where one house may have excelled in their creativity another house was more accurate in the lip dubbing of their song. Ultimately, the four judges decided that Shield House were the winners with Crown and Knight tied for second place.

Football V Marlborough College


The prestigious English school visited King's on a trip to Madrid and faced a motivated King's first eleven. Only one minute into the game Marlborough's goalkeeper came out and conceded a penalty which Miguel L slammed home. Five minutes later Jorge M scored his first of what would become a first half hat-trick. John B scored a powerful goal to put King's 5v0 up at half time. This scoreline meant the second half could become a period of experimentation, we played some lovely football and although a late flurry of goals meant a 5v3 win it was a fantastic and dominant Kings performance.
 

 

Senior Athletics


Years 10,11, 12 and 13 left Alcobendas with enough medals to have comfortably won an Olympic Games. A full athletic programme took place and King´s were dominant winning the international competition by over 100 points. We left with 42 medals, some outstanding individual performers were Rhodri T, Alejandro S and Maria C who each won a maximum three gold medals.

Gold- Rhodri T (3), Alex S(3), Bjorn M (1), Ignacio M (1), Jon B (1), Pedro F (1), Ignacio S (2), Gonzalo S (2), Andres F (2), Maria C (3), Maria N, Francesca L (2), Ana T, Paula C

Silver- Alberto J (1), Ignacio M (1), Jorge O (1), Andres F (1), Maria C, Ana T, Francesca L, Christina A, Merel K (3), Ana M (2), Marina C, Leire C, Sofia B

Bronze- Pedro F (2), Jon B (1), Ana T, Sofia B
 

 

League Football
 

As the league season draws to a close you will be aware that King’s had two teams who were unbeaten champions in their season. This meant they both qualified into the Madrid champions tournament. Both teams faced tough semi finals, Benjamin A were victorious with a 5v3 victory with goals from Luke (2), Inigo and Gonzalo (2). This meant the still unbeaten team went into the final without a loss since October. In the other semi final the Infantil A team drew 2v2 but were defeated in the dreaded penalty shootout, perhaps taking being an English school too seriously.

Infantil A played their 3rd place playoff and were 2v0 winners, meaning an overall successful 3rd place in the whole of Madrid.

Benjamin A played an end to end final but unfortunately suffered their first defeat of the season, narrowly losing 8v6! But overall being the second best team in Madrid is an impressive achievement, and im sure next year they can go a step better.

Elsewhere the Cadete team came 2nd in their second league phase whilst Juvenil went one better becoming champions winning all four games and running away with the league. They have the potential to do extremely well in the cup and are unbeaten all year with some strong defensive performances from Nacho M and Alberto J. Goals have been shared around the team with thirteen different scorers, it’s a tight race for top scorer but Alvaro D currently leads the way.

All league teams now begin their spring cup campaigns and I’m sure there will be further success in an already great season.
