NO: 64 MARCH 2016 Congratulations to all involved in the Hair & Beauty Show 26 January 2016 The Hair and Beauty show was a massive success. Well done to everyone who took part. The quality of work produced was outstanding. We had some fantastic feedback from parents and salons who came to see the show. Lily Bovill 11:09 “ I felt the show was thoroughly organised, and I have succeeded massively from year 9 through to year 11” MESSAGE BOARD CONTENTS Hair and Beauty Show.............................................pg 1 From Dr Margaret Wilson, Headteacher Message Board.......................................................pg 2 We have, as usual, had a very busy term and a number of events have taken place, many of which are reported in this newsletter. The make-up in the Hair and Beauty Show was outstanding and was a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase their exceptional talent. I was also delighted this that our girls’ netball team reached the national finals competing at Roedean School against many other public schools. They did not win but did amazingly well to get through to the finals and were brilliant ambassadors for the school. Finally well done to all students on the outstanding work they do to raise money for various different charitable causes.

Most year 7 and 8 students take part as a reward for all of their hard work throughout the year but the competition is open to all age groups. I was so impressed with the entries and really struggled to narrow it down as there is a limit on how many I am allowed to enter. Although we didn’t have a winning entry we did have a runner up, huge congratulations to Mia Wells and Lauren Paul in year 10, their work is being displayed on the internet for everyone to see at: http://www.natre.org.uk/about-natre/projects/spiritedarts/art-in-heaven/2015/faith-vs-doubt/ Left to right: Harry Hay, Jessica Bailey, Lucy Brown, Lucy Willis, Hannah Hing, Hannah Copeland On Friday the 8 January 2016 six former King John students attended the Essex County Council Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award presentation at Chelmsford Cathedral. Completion of this award requires student to be highly motivated and dedicated and it is a fantastic achievement for these students who were also completing their studies. It is highly regarded amongst universities and employers alike due to the life skills that students develop whilst completing the sections. In order to complete this award the students had to undertake five sections including; voluntary service, physical recreation, learning a new skill, complete a residential and then two expeditions. The students’ practice expedition took place in Snowdon, Wales and then their qualifying assessed expedition was completed after a week in Morocco completing a trek in the Atlas Mountains and finishing with a climb of Mt Toubkal. The students will now be invited to St James Palace to meet Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, the awards Patron. Tranquillity Garden We are looking to develop a Tranquillity Garden as an area where students will be able to sit and chat with someone if they feel in need of support. The aim of the garden is to provide a safe and peaceful environment where students will feel calm and able to talk. We will also be looking to involve our students in growing and planting flowers and shrubs so that they feel a sense of developing this project for themselves. The garden will be a memorial to those students who we have had the honour and privilege of meeting and working with but who are sadly no longer with us. We want to be able to celebrate their life and memory. We will be supported by the Jack Petchey fund and the Lions of Castle Point to get our project underway. If anyone would like to donate in any way, for example, old garden furniture, expertise or a monetary donation it would be very much appreciated. If you are able to donate or contribute to the project, please contact Mrs Caroline Anderson (ext 6726) at the school. Many thanks for your support. Also a special well done to the following: Year 8: Jessica Yarham, Sophie Painter, Sophie Bush, Connie Willis, Sophie Nichols, Jasmine Getty, Aimee Rawden, Mollie Gray, Rheanne Lau, Darcie Clayton & Aleasha Kemp. Year 9: Jersy Sandhu, Lucy Jones, Grace Thipthorne-Smith, Maddi Lawrence, Evie Huggins & Megan Bishop. Miss Coulman. 3 SIXTH FORM Cameron Cole Year 12 Mooting Competition We recently held hustings try-outs in school in order to select candidates to represent the school in a mooting competition, which challenges students to act as legal professionals in a mock court case. Students had 5 minutes to argue whether or not they thought the OSCAR nominations were racist. Cameron Cole Year 12 and one other student, were selected to represent the Sixth Form. Linda Jeffrey and I had the immense pleasure of watching Cameron compete in the Giles Wilson Mock Trial mooting competition last night. Unfortunately, the other student failed to show up on the night. The quarter final involved putting a case for refusal of bail to the 'court'. Candidates were given a brief a week prior and had to draw arguments from the information given and put forward a persuasive case to convince the court of the legal position on the bail application. Cameron was aided in preparing the case by fellow students Elle MacDonald and Tia Dutton and by the fabulous Miss Ware, who all helped sift through the twenty page document to pinpoint the key details pertaining to the case for refusal of bail. On the evening, students waited in a green room and were called one team at a time to present for 5 minutes per team member. Candidates were required to follow the normal formal procedures of a court room such as addressing the bench as Your Worships, referring to each other as my learned colleague and being fluent in the use of terms such as alleged, defendant and claimant. Contestants were interrupted and challenged by the barristers on points of their arguments and had to think on their feet to answer with compelling justifications of their points, whilst all the time being aware of the stringent time limits. Cameron, having being let down at the eleventh hour, was highly praised for his willingness to continue to put forward his case on his own. He did an amazing job and was congratulated by the judges for his professional manner, courtroom presence, perfect pace and tone. The judges were impressed with his excellent response when challenged about the defendant's prior career. Cameron agreed that he may indeed have been a city trader but that that did not mean he should consider himself above the law. Both Mrs Jeffrey and I were in awe of Cameron's ability to think on his feet and his ability to remain unflustered in doing so. He was an excellent candidate. Competing against strong teams from SEEVIC (last year's winners), Greensward, Southend High School for Boys and Belfairs. Cameron definitely did King John proud and we are delighted to report that Cameron successfully got through to the next stage. Well done to the whole team, Elle and Tia who helped prepare the case, Miss Ware who provided knowledge, expertise and passion and spent a considerable about of time coaching the team, and most especially to Cameron himself.

It was an amazing experience, there were 7,447 children in the choir! We sang a total of 10 songs one of which was ‘Transport of Delight’. We also sang with a celebrity guest singer, Laura Wright, who sang at the Rugby World Cup in 2015. All the performers had the same t-shirt on and had a little torch, which we waved in the air when it got dark. It was wonderful to perform at the O2. Miss Ware and Mrs Anderson would like to add that the students represented the school extremely well and we are very proud of them. Thanks also to Derek Turner, who ran the choir, getting our students up to standard and pushing for the event to happen. 4 Written by Beth Butler 7-09 Netball—National finals The U16 girls netball squad played at the national finals on 19 March 2016 at the Roedean School in Brighton.

Every single student represented the school and themselves impeccably. We are very lucky to have such mature and resilient girls. We had a very tough pool and the girls held their own and worked really hard. In the first game our squad suffered sickness and concussion! Despite all our efforts we didn’t quite make it out of the pool and into the semi finals. A huge thank you to Emersons for sponsoring us at this event, the girls looked great in their new kit. Thank you to all who came to cheer us on and for all the messages of support we have received. A special thank you to Karen McGlynn who helped me with coaching the team, and Jo Dickson for umpiring. The King John school have never made it this far before so whatever the result the girls made history this weekend. We have a huge talent in this team and we are really looking forward to continuing our training to get us back there next year! Mrs Sheern ENGLISH NEWS This is an exciting year for literature lovers!

Keira will be competing for King John in the swimming gala, well done Keira, keep up the good work! September 13 will be 100 years since the birth of children’s writer Roald Dahl. Celebrating Shakespeare To commemorate 400 years since Shakespeare’s death we are attempting to write 154 sonnets at the KJS, like the bard himself! Staff have already begun composing their sonnets; students are invited to do the same, with three prizes up for grabs. Closing date for submission to Mrs Murray is Thursday 24 March. 5 How to write a sonnet: A sonnet is a poem based on love or admiration. Sonnets are always 14 lines long; they often follow a rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg (rhyming couplet at the end). If students are very brave, they can try to follow the meter pattern of iambic pentameter. There are tutorials that can be watched on YouTube on how to create a sonnet. We are also running workshops in Creative Writing Club every Tuesday. MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDENT SUCCESSES Paris, France - French, Art and Photography Key Stage 4 trip Congratulations to the following students who were nominated by their peers or teachers as Student of the Month for their year.

The trip provides intense practice for GCSE exams as lessons will be conducted in Spanish at the ISLA language school. The trip also includes tours of Salamanca and Madrid along with lessons in Spanish dance and cooking. This will be our 12th trip to this area staying at the “Chateau d’Ebblingham”, a renovated manor house set in rural surroundings just outside the town of St Omer. From our base at “Le Chateau”, we will visit local attractions such as La Coupole, an underground bunker and museum depicting life during the German occupation of France. We will also visit the Menin Gate and Last Post Ceremony, the Langemark German Cemetery and the In Flanders Museum. Students will also have the opportunity to visit amongst other things, the market town of St Omer and its surroundings. Valencia, Spain – Spanish Key Stage 3 trip This is a Key Stage 3 trip to Valencia and the surrounding regions to take place during the spring holidays. The objective of the trip is to promote a cultural exchange between British and Spanish students with a practical programme to help improve the Spanish language level of the students, as well as encourage relations and knowledge between both cultures. Various language tasks will be undertaken during our visits with the aim of raising the students’ confidence as well as improving their command of French. There will also be a full evening programme of organised activities, such as crêpe making, karaoke and a boules competition. Students will be staying at the Multi Adventure Centre in Benageber, Valencia. This centre has created a unique project which encourages international students to develop friendships. Students will be participating in many outdoor activities such as paintball, trekking, climbing, eurobungy and abseiling. 6 FOR YOUR INFORMATION Looking to hire the KJS Facilities? reminder to all parents When your child is absent from school we would appreciate you calling Student Support to report their absence, but we still require you to send in a letter of explanation for the absence with your child on their return.

Zack played Niall from one direction and was absolutely superb! Deborah Oakley –7-03- Good luck to Deborah who is currently rehearsing as part of the ensemble in High School Musical that will be performed at the Towngate Theatre in May. On Tuesday 1 of March the Eastgate centre in Basildon held its annual Fashion awards evening at the Towngate Theatre. The event is sponsored by the ECOH, New Look, Debenhams and the South Essex College who also showcase some of their fashion students’ work on the catwalk. This year saw the return of guest judge and esteemed stylist to the stars and fashion designer, Joey Bevan. Joey presented two of his collections at the event which can be seen in the photos below. Our year 10 Textiles students had entered the Basildon Fashion Awards Design Competition. The topic was fashion history and they had to choose an era to inspire their designs. There were 8 finalists. The top 3 designs would be made to be modelled on the catwalk. 2 of our students Grace Willis and Jessica Miller were chosen to be part of the 5 highly commended entries each receiving a certificate and a Debenhams gift voucher. I was extremely proud of all of the students’ entries and to have made it into the top 8 was a huge achievement. Miss Beeney Head of Textiles Keira Bott -7-03 - In January Kiera competed against other children from swimming clubs in the olympic pool! Keira’s times were so good that she was drawn in races against children much older than her. Keira has also competed for King John in the Swimming Gala. Well done Keira, keep up the good work!

Year 7 Right Respecting Friendship shields Each tutor group was set the challenge of creating a shield that represented their work in tutor groups on friendship and the Rights Respecting school focus. The students all produced fantastic results and the overall winner was 7-07. 8 YEAR 10 I am hoping to volunteer at major events such as the British Masters being held at The Grove, The Women’s British Open held at Woburn, The Ladies European Masters held at The Buckinghamshire Golf Club, the ladies European Access Tour held at Stoke-by-Nayland and the BMW Championships held at Wentworth. Volunteering at any of these events would be such an amazing experience. My first England Golf Youth Panel Conference Ysobel Lush The youth panel offers opportunities for young people who want to encourage others to play sports, including help with getting coaching qualifications in rugby and in tri-golf. When I arrived I was made to feel very welcome even though I was the youngest volunteer there. Phil, who runs the conference told us about the aims of the panel and what we would get out of the meetings. will take lots of photos of the work I do because the youth panel will be putting together a portfolio which will be great for in the future. Another aim I have for the year is to increase the numbers in the ‘Girls Golf Rocks’ scheme. I have contacted my old junior school to see if I can go into an assembly and encourage young children to get into the game, especially the girls. We are all aiming to volunteer in sport for as many hours as possible. Phil told us that volunteering gets you jobs! It improves your qualifications; looks great on a CV and gives you access into careers in sport. He also said its worth a lot more than a GCSE, an A level or a degree. It is also very rewarding. We were told at the next meeting we would have interviews and videos taken of us about our aims and achievements. Overall my whole experience was amazing, it has helped develop my speaking and listening skills. I have so many more ideas and I can’t wait to develop new skills at the next meeting. It was a privilege to be part of it all. I hope that I will reach my goals, and continue getting people, especially girls into the sport. Phil asked us to write down 3 things that summed up our personality. I wrote - hard working, organised and sporty. We then had to think of one thing that we are most proud of in terms of sport. I thought of my achievements in Rugby. At school, there is no rugby available to girls. As a rugby player for Basildon and Essex County, I wanted the girls in my school to be able to play rugby. At the start of 2015 I was offered the chance to be an ‘England Ambassador’ to try and get girls into golf, similar to the youth panel but aimed solely at girls. It was a trial initiative in Essex. We had a few meetings and took some fun photos so that when girls saw the posters they could see what fun it was. We came up with a name for the scheme and called it ‘Girls Golf Rocks’ because it does! I volunteered for many hours to encourage girls to get into the game and it was a great success. It took a lot of time as I had to nag our school rugby teacher, Mr Sexton, to get it going. I put up notices all over the school asking girls to write down their names if they were interested. There was an amazing response. Girls came every week and enjoyed it. I was so happy and pleased with what I had achieved. The scheme started again at the beginning of January this year. It will now be rolled out into eight other counties. We are hoping to increase the numbers of girls playing golf. For all our efforts in volunteering, we received the Young Leaders Award. We have also been put forward for a team award for all our efforts in getting more girls into golf! Next we moved onto our aims for the year. Personally I am determined to get more girls into golf, I’d like to volunteer at my golf club and help the Pro’s with their lessons. I also hope to be able to take beginner golfers out on the course for a few holes to have some fun and help them to make friends. 9 KJ’s HAIR & BEAUTY SALON BEAUTY PRICE LIST MAKE-UP EYEBROW & LASHES EPILATION Day £4.00 Eyebrow Tinting £3.50 Eyebrows £3.00 Evening £4.00 Eyelash Tinting £4.50 Lip/Chin £3.00 Special Occasion £4.00 Eyebrow/Lash Tinting £4.50 Bikini £5.00 FACIALS Eyebrow Shaping (waxing) £3.95 Under Arm £5.00 Basic £6.50 Eyelash Perming £8.00 Abdomen £3.00 Prepared Masks £7.25 WAXING HAIR PRICE LIST Peel-Off Masks £7.25 Half Leg £5.24 Dermalogica Facial £10.00 Three Quarter Leg £6.50 ELECTRICAL FACIALS Full Leg £8.00 Microcurrent £8.00 Bikini Line £3.95 Vacuum Suction Facial £8.00 Forearm (half) £4.50 Faradic Facial £8.00 Full Arm £4.75 Galvanic Facial £8.00 Under Arm £3.50 High Frequency £8.00 Abdomen £3.50 MANICURE Lip & Chin £3.25 Basic £4.75 MASSAGE Paraffin Wax £5.95 Full body £10.00 Prepared Masks £5.25 Back Massage £4.00 Peel-Off Masks £6.95 Aromatherapy Full Body £12.00 Electrical Mitts £7.25 Aromatherapy Back Massage French Manicure £6.00 ELECTRICAL BODY TREATMENTS File & Polish Only £3.25 Faradic £7.00 Cut & Blow Dry/Set £6.00 Shampoo & Set £4.00 Wet Cut £4.00 Intensive Conditioning Treatments (short) £5.00 Intensive Conditioning Treatments (shoulder length) £7.00 Intensive Conditioning Treatments (below shoulder) £8.00 PERMING (without cut & finish) Perm £10.00* COLOURING (without cut & finish) Semi-Permanent or Temporary £10.00* Permanent £15.00/£20.00 Highlights/Wovens Galvanic £7.00 £20.00/£30.00 PEDICURE G5 £5.00 Basic £5.25 Vacuum Suction £7.00 Paraffin Wax £5.95 Microcurrent £7.00 *long hair by quotation Electric Booties £7.25 French Manicure £6.50 File & Polish Only £3.25 Paraffin Wax £7.25 10 YEAR 7 YEAR 7 ACHIEVEMENTS Year 7 have been working hard through their second term at The King John school and are focusing on their achievements in lessons as well as out of school.

Roller City Trip The year 7 students had a fantastic time at the Roller city trip on Tuesday 8 March. The students took part in games whilst skating which saw their ability and confidence on the skates improve. There were some students who are clearly expert skaters and it was fantastic to see so many of the year group having a fun social time together. It was great to see how strong their friendships have grown over the first two terms at secondary school which was clear from the way they supported each other on the rink. The charity representatives for each tutor group worked especially hard raising over £100 in a cake sale for Valentines day. 7-03 had a particularly great time running a wacky races session. We just want to say a huge congratulations to all of year 7 and we look forward to seeing the year group achieving both academically and personally in the Summer term. 11 YEAR 10 Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge AQA Unlocking Potential 120 year 10 students took part in the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge the week beginning 8 February. The training was great fun and interactive. During the training learners received a “Speak Out” Challenge workbook and certificate. They also had the chance to speak several times and learn to think on their feet. They found out how to prepare a speech and deliver a short speech based on a personal experience such as a holiday, an achievement or a memorable event. They acquired skills that would last them a lifetime and enjoyed doing so. This year, Toby Arnold and Taylor Olley have been participating in the AQA Unlocking Potential Scheme. This scheme, run by the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, recognises young people who have shown resilience and determination, and we were thrilled that Taylor and Toby were selected. As part of the scheme, the boys have been assigned an athlete mentor, and we are very lucky to be working with World Champion sailor, Sam Brearey. Sam comes in regularly to help the boys organise a community project. The boys wanted to raise as much money as possible for charity so they have chosen to run a school-based fete on 14 April, fundraising for Help for Heroes and Gastroparesis UK. To publicise their event, Sam organised for the boys to speak on BBC Radio Essex on 18 January which was an amazing opportunity. Then on Monday 1 February, Toby Arnold and Taylor Olley were invited to Leicester City Football Club for a team-building day, and the boys competed in a Dragon’s Den style event, pitching their event and ironing out the details! Taylor is keen to raise awareness of gastroparesis as it is not a well-known condition (or charity) so Sam also arranged for Taylor to film a segment for The Dame Kelly Holmes Trust whilst we were there, and we got to go up to one of the boxes on the halfway line to film which gave us a fantastic view of the stadium! Sam is in a few more times to help the boys organise their event, and then we will be publicising it in school to raise as much money as possible. Toby is already busy in workshop designing and building things for the fete, and we’ll be asking our year 10 Student Leaders to get involved further too. We look forward to sharing more news from the scheme. Mrs Goodwin Yr10 Learning Coordinator 12
