The
Wizard
of Oz
King’s College Junior School Southside Wimbledon Common London SW194TT +44(20)8255 5335 www.kcs.org.uk [email protected]
The production of The Wizard of Oz has been
performed this week by a cast of fifty boys
from Priory. After five months of rehearsing
and a long technical rehearsal over the weekend, the stage came alive on Monday for the
first performance to Rushmere. Brightly coloured Munchkins appeared behind umbrellas,
Jitterbugs danced with energy and Dorothy
and her trio of companions followed the yellow brick road to Emerald City.This has been
a fantastic production with the boys showing
enormous talent, commitment and energy.

The theme of this year’s Science Week was Life and on Monday all the boys in Priory took part in the Science quiz and
now look forward to the results announcement in the final
assembly of the term. On Wednesday, Mr Baker and TB presented a Science assembly and quiz. At lunchtime, the boys in
the Third Form were able to make grass seed heads and on
Thursday, Mr Hipkiss presented a lecture focusing on Can We
Live on Mars? The photography competition is still running and
Mr Hipkiss is looking forward to receiving plenty of entries
after the Easter break.

This week has been a busy time for the Junior School swim squad, with thirty U8-13 boys travelling to Parkside on Monday and then U12 and U13
boys travelling to Wimbledon College on Wednesday. The gala on Monday was against two strong schools, Parkside and Feltonfleet, and a special
mention must go out to the Second Form boys William, Alex,Virgile and Cassius who did not lose a race all evening. I have to say the boys’ performances were outstanding with King’s finishing second in the overall standings only six points behind Parkside. Then on Wednesday evening we swam
brilliantly at Wimbledon College. The boys did not lose one relay the whole evening which is an outstanding team effort and we managed to win the
gala by ten points.

Our week in sport begins last Friday when every boy in the Second Form was given the opportunity to play in the
rearranged fixture versus Cranmore. Whilst the A team found the going very tough, B-G teams had a great afternoon with a combination of some great passing rugby and very tough tackling. Mr Roberts was especially pleased
with his B team performance who inflicted Cranmore Bs’ first defeat of the season. Sunday saw the U13 sevens
squad have their second outing of the term at the nationally renowned Berkhamsted Festival. The boys went into
the day full of confidence after achieving 8 wins from 8 a couple of weeks ago at CLFS, but after an opening masterclass by Kirkham Grammar in the rain, there was much soul searching to be done. However, resilience has been key
amongst these boys, and five victories later, the smiles had returned! A super day and a really well organised event.
There was little break for the Upper Removes as we sent A-E teams over to Hampton for some football fixtures
on Monday. Many players found themselves in higher teams due to the busy life of the school, and the challenge
was always going to be tough – a 2-2 draw in the As and a narrow 2-1 defeat in the Cs were the highlights of the
afternoon’s play, but a great experience to get so many boys out playing and representing the school. A new opposition for rugby travelled over to King’s on Tuesday when Harrodian brought three teams to play our A, C, and Es in
the U11 age group – a year group that have had numerous cancellations. All three fixtures were keenly contested
with Harrodian certainly bringing some raw athleticism to the battle. King’s finished on top across the board, but
this will be a fixture we pursue for the future. Earlier that day, the U9 machine continued their success with some
convincing displays against King’s House, and it was great to see our Gs and Hs take on their Ds and Es – the type
of challenge our boys love!
This Saturday sees 5 King’s teams entered into the Surrey Festival at Cranmore School on what should be a fantastic day of rugby with England securing the Grand Slam in Dublin!!
Word of the week:
carnage – The violent killing of a large number of people.
From the Latin caro (= “flesh”).
More cheerfully, this Latin word may also give us the word carnival with the word relating to the
giving up (levare) of meat for Lent.
