EXPANSION OF TODDLER GROUP June 2010 The Toddler Group at Kingswood House is going from strength to strength as it announces expansion plans for the forthcoming academic year. The group currently meets on Wednesdays during term-time from 9:30am to 11am. From September, they will also now meet on Tuesdays during term-time from 1:30pm to 3:15pm. The sessions are for parents with newborn to three year olds and cost £1 per session. HOUSE MUSIC COMPETITION May 2010 Parents and friends were treated to a wonderful afternoon of music with the finals of the House Music Competition. There were a record number of entries again this year with all participants gaining five stars. Those who made it through to the semi-finals and finals gained points for their Houses with the section winners being awarded three points for their House, a cup which they hold for a year and a winner's medal. Our judge this year was Mr Ian Carnegie, Director of Music at Reeds School and what a wonderful adjudicator he proved to be - he clearly enjoyed all the performances and his enthusiasm for music making was infectious. He had well-observed and positive comments to make about all the musicians and left us in no doubt that he was really impressed with the standard of performance. All our finalists should be really encouraged by what he had to say - well done to all of you. Section Winners: Beginner - Leo Sargent (Saxophone) Pre Grade - Robert Earland (Recorder) Grade 1 - Charlie Milne (Piano) Grade 2 - Charlie Smith (Clarinet) Grade 3 - Philip Fiuza (Violin) Rock Musician - Milo Sargent (Drum) & Harry Master (Drum) Vocal - Harry Flynn (Voice) Piano Award - Edward Denham (Piano) |

PUPILS' NEWS May 2010 Joel Herron will be appearing in 'Billy Elliot' at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking on Thursday 17th and Saturday 19th June. This is a youth version of the script suitable for younger audiences as a celebration of the show being in the West End for five years. Joel would love to have some friends in the audience. Both performances are at 7:30pm. Matthew Muncey has recently passed his Grade 1 Lamda Verse and Prose Exam and has also come second in a youth Wakeboard competition held on the River Medway in Kent. 15 boys aged 10-15 braved the cold river and rain to show off their tricks to the judges. It's believed Matthew was the youngest competitor. Congratulations also to Jake Hardman who has taken part in the Optimist Inland National Championships. Jake was in the regatta fleet with four races each day including coming 14th in the penultimate race. He takes part in a number of sailing events each year including the forthcoming Nationals in Weymouth this summer. One KHS pupil has gone to great lengths to be recognised for her efforts in the swimming pool. Margo De Moudt has been awarded a prestigious Rainbow Distance Award. It follows her achievement of swimming 15m front crawl independently. Congratulations! |

ELECTION FEVER GRIPS KHS May 2010 The boys enjoyed the School's first election debate where three Year 8 candidates representing their own parties spoke eloquently about three key school issues: prep, the curriculum and school dinners. The candidates Harry Master (Brown Master Party), Harry Flynn (Kingswood House Independence Party) and Alex Slater (Conehead Nationalist Party) spoke enthusiastically about their policies. At the end of the keenly fought debate an opinion poll was conducted and it was clear that CNP's promise of school dinners supplied by Nandos with an everlasting supply of frozen yoghurt had put Alex on course for a landslide victory. Pupils from Years 3-8 cast their votes and in Friday's assembly Alex Slater was duly declared the winner of the election with an impressive 71% of the votes. |
