FIXTURES ARE BACK!
A year since we hosted our last fixtures at SG, we were delighted this week to welcome Kent College for the first
fixture of 2021! The girls’ U11 A and B teams played cricket against Kent College and we have two lovely match
reports from Olivia and Liberty—thank you!
It is with great pleasure that I am writing a match report for the first match since lockdown. On Wednesday 28th
April 2021, the girls from Years 5-6 (including Tamsin in Year 4) played cricket matches against Kent College. Mrs
Brogan-Jones’ team was led by Pia, who won the toss and chose to field first (this was a suggestion by Mrs
Langford). I bowled first, starting the innings with a good couple of balls, Isabelle (D) then followed with a good
over. Isla then bowled along with Sophia, and the rest of the team followed in their pairs, Isobel (J) took a wicket
on the last ball of her over and Isabelle followed with a catch on one of
their balls. Kent College ended up with a total of 242 with us still left to
bat. Isobel and Pia started us off well with a score of 210 the end of their
innings, Isla and Sophia made a near get-away, nearly being caught out by
Kent College, they soon after got run out with a sneaky -3 because they
had run twice, then we all made a good commitment to getting a final
score of.... 242, making it a draw. Kent College’s player of the match was
Pia, and Isobel then received a well-deserved Player of the Match by Mrs
Brogan-Jones. Kent College got a snack of a Kit Kat and a bottle of water.
Well done to all the people who played in the match. Olivia D-M
On the chilly, cloudy day of Wednesday 28th April 2021 the SG under 11B team
played a cricket match against Kent College at home. We lost the toss, and the
game began. Batting first, the SG team patiently waited by the half tree whilst,
two by two, we went out for our turn to bat. As we huddled by the tree we gained
lots of runs, but not all because of actually running! After we had finished batting,
Mrs Langford gave us a quick pep talk before we went out to start our fielding. We
gave some brilliant bowls and had some great bats from Kent College. Isabella PK
and May C both bowled somebody out!! By the end of the match the scores
were… Drum roll please…. 276 to SG / 252 to Kent College. Players of the Match
were Aeva P for her excellent batting and fielding and May C for bowling a maiden
over. Thank you to Mrs Langford for hosting the match and to the kitchen for
supplying a tasty match tea. Liberty W

Colours and Half Colours Review Scarlett W-J: Art
We are currently looking at how we award Colours and
Half Colours, and we plan to establish a set of criteria
for both Colours and Half Colours which will be shared
with all staff, pupils and parents. Once it has been
agreed by staff that a child has fulfilled the criteria for a
particular reward, both Colours and Half Colours may
be awarded to a child at any point in the school year.

GOSLINGS IN GIRAFFES Giraffes had a visit from some Goslings this week. Theodore was very excited to bring in his five goslings to show the children. They asked Theodore's daddy lots of questions and we found out what they eat, how long they take to grow and what a boy goose and girl goose are called. Thank you to Mr Young for bringing them in to show us.
CLUBS Clubs started again this week and we’ve got some lovely pictures from Art Club, Gardening Club, Lego Club and Walking Club—thank you Mrs Desmet, Mrs Cracknell, Mrs Jaggard and Mme Leavey for the lovely pictures. Art Club: This week our art was inspired by the wisteria that’s beginning to come out on the front of school. Gardening Club: In our first week of gardening club KS1 have planted giant sunflowers and wild strawberry plants kindly donated by Mrs Waring. We’ve also had lots of lovely pot donations from Mrs Clarke and Mrs Jaggard. We cannot wait to get planting. Lego Club: In the Head’s study—a relaxing and absorbing way to end the week! Walking Club: For the first outing of walking club we walked to Perry court, said hello to the donkeys and came back.
YEAR 3 VIOLINS This term in Prep 3, we are having an introduction to playing the violin. We looked at how the violin makes sound, and investigated the different parts of the instrument. We started with plucking the strings, but everyone was very keen to use the bow as soon as possible (more noisy!). We are following the Colourstrings approach, and employed a few ball-pit balls in the correct colours to help us. Here we are playing a game where we had to play the right string depending on which coloured ball was thrown! This helped us all play together and helped us learn how to play on the bounce..I mean, beat! We're looking forward to playing some recognisable tunes when we get a bit more experienced. Mrs Britton
LIONAID ASSEMBLY
Did you know?
Lions symbolize power but they are now one of the most endangered animals
on Earth.
The numbers are rapidly declining . Their population has gone down by 30-40%
in the last 30 years.
There are now only about 20,000 lions in the world.
In 2015, Scientists said they are very
endangered and may become extinct by 2050.
We found out all these facts in Prep 3’s LionAid Assembly on Friday, which
featured a brilliant Powerpoint presentation created by Aarav S. Aarav has also
raised £400 for LionAid. Well done to Aarav and to all of Prep 3 for a fantastic
Assembly and lovely singing of ‘In the Jungle’ from the ‘Lion King’.
OUTDOOR LEARNING
Lovely weather for our Outdoor Learning this week—thank you to Miss Osborn for leading our Forest School session
on Friday with Year 2.
DISPLAY OF THE WEEK TETRATHLON SUCCESS
Display of the week this week is Giraffes’ beautiful
blossom-laden Spring display. Congratulations to Willow who came 2nd out of 18
in her U8 mixed section with a super clear jumping,
2nd in the throw and 1st in the swim, and a very
gutsy XC run. She was also 4th/21 boys and girls the
