Music Department Christmas Concert: Ho Ho Ho it’s Chrissssssstmas Wednesday night’s Christmas concert was a mixture of new and old faces and voices. Musicians included the amazing blues band with their energetic rendition of the Madness classic, “One Step Beyond”. This brought back a few memories for many parents and teachers and almost had Mr Devonish dancing in the aisles! Talented singers and assorted instrumentalists sang and played in a range of styles; blues, classical, pop, rock and Christmas songs. A festive highlight of the evening was the ukulele orchestra with the addition of Liam Hubbard on washboard who performed a Christmassy version of Vance Joy’s Riptide, rewritten by Oscar Futter as Yuletide! Sadly, the Christmas concert will be the last one for our Year 11 students. Fortunately though, the talent displayed by singers and musicians in lower year groups will ensure that music will continue to go from strength to strength at Neatherd. Many thanks go to all of the teachers and parents who helped organize the concert and especially to our peripatetic teachers, Mandy Slater and Nia Howe for their musical input. Very special thanks go to Tash, Reenie and Lilimae Nicholson for providing an array of homemade cakes for the interval. Huge thanks go too, as usual to the technical crew who ensured that the evening went with very few technical hitches. Mrs Sanderson, Head of The Arts

Neatherd Xmas Cook-Off 2016 Last night saw the conclusion of the two day special Neatherd Christmas cook off. Two teams from each house competed, cooking a wide selection of festive inspired dishes from around the world. On Tuesday Miss Mullineux and her Kett team – Maisie and Nancy walked away with the dish of the evening. A Dutch inspired Hutspot potato and onion mash complimented with Pepernoten, little spiced biscuits. Last night Mr Mayhew was dealt a raw hand having two of his Y11 boys drop out last minute, presumably to focus on their mock revision. Representing Kett alongside Courteney they managed to create two types of German market inspired biscuits along with an alcohol free (I promise) Gluhmost – orange and cinnamon infused apple juice. All scores from both nights have been added together to have an overall winner, well done to Kett house taking first place having secured victory over both nights. I have included all of those who competed and helped out, so if you see any of them around school please give them a big congratulations. The next bake off event will be in the new year, with a slight change in the application process (more to follow….) A special thanks to Mr Scahill, Dr Faulkner, Miss Mullineux, Jonny, Jack and Elena for judging. If anyone is interested in being a judge please let me know! The night also would have also ground to a halt without the help of Mrs Patterson and Mrs Phillipo in food tech, helping me out in sticky situations. Thanks guys.

Neatherd students made poppies for Remembrance Day - a report by Chloe and Hannah (Year 11) We learnt to make poppies in The Link and made these poppies as a mark of respect for the British soldiers and the people who died in the wars. 1916 was the Battle of the Somme and 420,000 died fighting for their country and for us as well. We made these poppies, because handmade poppies we think, show that you have spent time and have made an extra effort to show respect compared to the paper ones you can get. Hannah and I think highly of Remembrance Day, because we both had family members who fought in the war, and it is very special to us and our hearts. I always watch the Remembrance Day programme on television because it is special seeing all of the war veterans going down the road next to the Cenotaph, and the Cenotaph is a special place for First and Second World War army personnel. This day, November 11th, in school you had two minutes silence remembering everyone who lost their lives, and the two minutes are held as a mark of respect across the UK. Hannah and I are very privileged to have made poppies in the Link for this day, and we were both able to take our poppies, to be sold to raise funds for the British Legion, to R J Bartram & Son in Dereham who raise funds for the Legion, and do this to remember all those who died serving their country.

Neatherd's Got Talent 2016 - report by Mrs Sanderson and Mr Owen Once again, Neatherd’s students proved just how much talent they have. The annual talent show took place on 10th November. The weather outside was cold, wet and miserable but the atmosphere inside was electric! The usual mixture of singing, dancing and amazing musicianship was on offer with a few familiar faces taking part in what will be the final NGT before our Year 11 leave Neatherd in 2017: Emily Gibson, Liam Hubbard, Nathan Codling, Harry Sutton, Jess Irving, Cerys Blake and Hannah Bavage. We also say farewell to Harrison Matwij who usually participates in all musical events. Harrison, in his role as Head Boy judged the show alongside Lucy Kirk who was due to perform but had to pull out at the last minute due to illness. Lucy, however, stepped in as our female student judge when Head Girl Emily Jessop couldn’t attend sue to a prior commitment. Thanks Lucy! The Judges’ Vote was awarded to Luke Maxwell and Hannah Coe, both Year 9 students. Luke and Hannah performed “Popular” from the hit West End musical, “Wicked”. Their number combined fabulous acting talent with astonishing vocal range and proficiency. Neither Sorrel, Hannah nor Luke has taken part in NGT before and will certainly be booked up for the forthcoming Christmas Concert! Other newcomers to Neatherd’s got Talent included Rachel Dye and Melissa Linstead who sang beautifully. The Audience Votes went to Sorrel McDermott as runner-up. Sorrel sang in Japanese and delighted the audience with a smiley, up-beat electro-disco-inspired Jap-pop-song. Sparks took the first prize from the audience with a slick and focused contemporary dance performance. Classical instrumental performances were provided by Naomi Vogel on her flute, Ellena Meachen on clarinet. Also, Alex Sidney, Year 9, gave a very moving performance on “Mad World” on keyboard, accompanied by Lizzy Vogel on her cello. Lizzy appeared as keyboard accompanist to a number of other performers, including Jess Irving who opened the show with a rousing musical theatre number. George Crisp returned to his first love – rock guitar after offering a magic act last year. Apparently George has been so busy gigging that he didn’t have time to polish up any more magic tricks for this year! Other acts included Lilimae Nicholson who performed a contemporary dance solo for us and Ryan Selwyn performed a medley of film music on keyboard. Singer songwriters Cerys Blake and Hannah Bavage closed the show with a soulful duet characterised by haunting “honey-covered” harmonies, as described by judge Mrs Williamson. Mr Devonish was humbled by the girls’ performance as he was by that of Katie Lee who is stepping ably into Hannah and Cerys’ shoes with her rich, mature vocals and superb guitar. Katie delivered her own composition to rapturous applause. A high point in the night for us was the musical combo-collective, made up of some of the most talented musicians for Years 8-11. It was such a delight to see and hear our talented musicians getting together during their lunch breaks to rehearse together and to play before a truly receptive audience. Most performers have been mentioned elsewhere but not the incredible ukulele trio: Beth Windle, Ben Bilverstone and, last year’s winner, Oscar Futter. Just brilliant! Technical support was offered by Harry Sutton, James Kimber and Aaron Nicholson, refreshments and moral support were provided by Tash and Renie Nicholson, Mrs Gill, Joy Bolton and Mandy Slater – so thanks chaps! We couldn’t have done it without you! Mrs Sanderson and Mr Owen

Year 11 Mock Interview Days 2016 Dear parents and carers On Thursday 10th and Friday 11th November external professionals from different employment sectors, i.e. Law, Health, Science, Sports etc will come into our school to conduct "mock" job interviews with every pupil in Year 11. Your son/daughter will receive an interview time shortly. Interview Day is an opportunity for the students to practise for a future job and college interview. Past students have reported that they found the mock interviews very beneficial as they felt more confident when attending their “real” interviews. The interviewers will give the students some feedback on their interview manners, appearance and the quality of their application document. There is no need for our students to be nervous about the process as the interviewers come in to help our students and to support them. To prepare themselves for the interview students should consider the following: 1. Have an idea of some questions they may be asked about their selected job and have some questions ready to ask the employer, i.e. necessary qualifications / working hours etc. Students are allowed to bring a prompt card to the interview. 2. How to make an impression e.g. looking the part, positive body language, good manners. We ask the students to dress appropriately for the day as if they were attending a real interview, for example a suit/smart jacket and trousers for the boys and a suit/jacket and skirt/smart trousers for the girls, it is NOT necessary though to purchase new clothing just for this event. The pupils are expected to treat the occasion in a professional manner. If you have got any queries regarding the format of the days, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs Broughton at school. Yours faithfully Mr R Hodges Subject Leader for Business, Enterprise, Careers and Work-Related Learning

Neatherd High performs at @NorwichPlay (Playhouse Theatre), in the National #ShakespeareSchoolsFestival (Long but brilliant post from Mrs Sanderson!) Students from Years 9 and 10 have been working on Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” since June 2016. The culmination of their hard work paid off when, last night, 3rd November, they performed in front of a paying, public audience at the Playhouse Theatre in Norwich along with 3 other local schools. The students actually started the project when they were in Years 7 and 8. I asked all Key Stage 3 students to consider creating a performance of a shortened Shakespearean script. My intentions were partly to help them improve their understanding of Shakespeare’s language and to increase their ability to interpret and direct scripted drama. Also though, at the back of my mind, was the idea that our students should showcase their talents in the nationally acclaimed Shakespeare Schools’ Festival. Our first foray into Shakespeare’s world was a performance of As You Like It. Students performed as Year 7s and 8s in The Creative Arts Evening and as part of the opening celebrations for the school library – in the library itself. They went on to perform as Year 8s and 9s to an audience of friends and parents at Dereham Sixth Form College. After As You Like It, most of the cast were really “up for more!” so the application to take part in the Shakespeare Schools’ Festival was submitted, accepted and we were on our way! Rehearsals started in June 2016 and last night students’ efforts, time and energy really paid off. At the end of the night, one of the festival’s professional theatre directors gave feedback to the four schools who performed at the Playhouse. Comments on Neatherd’s “The Tempest” heaped praise on the cast because of their creative and energetic interpretation of the text, “that gripped the audience’s attention from start to finish.” Throughout the workshops and rehearsals at The Playhouse in the run up to the performance, directors and technicians for the festival expressed how impressed they were that our students had come up with so many ingenious and physical ways to interpret Shakespeare’s language, characters and story so that the text could be accessed on so many levels. They agreed that students are often put off from studying Shakespeare because there are so many weird words and there’s such a lot of listening to do! With our performance they said, “You could see and therefore understand what characters were talking about because the language was communicated and reinforced through movement. I had to confess to them that my role in the project largely consisted of me having to rein in students’ creativity as they had so many ideas that our maximum running time limit of 30 minutes could have easily run over to an hour to accommodate everything the cast wanted to do. Audience members commented after the show that they had liked the balance we had achieved through a mixture of beauty and grace in the performances of the four Ariels: Charlie Dickerson, Rebekka Hartley, Mia Johnson and Latasha Ward and knock-about comedy provided by Stephano, Trinculo and Caliban: Adam Littleproud, Amber Macey and George Rolland-Barry. The Ariels were supported by Elizabeth Vogel and Ellna Meachen as “wanna-be” Ariels and narrators. Moments of serious and sinister content were provided by Vincent Joisce, Louise Godin, William Rodwell and Amelia Morse as Antonio, Alonzo, Gonzalo and Sebastian who are consumed by grief, envy and a desire to kill! The love story between Ferdinand and Miranda was played beautifully but very much tongue in cheek by Pearl Williams-Elley and Sam Lockhart. Pearl and Sam also did the school proud with an on-the-day interview for local radio. Perhaps the hardest job of all fell to Charlie Dente who played the enigmatic magician Prospero whose character is often linked with William Shakespeare himself. Shakespeare wrote the play toward the end of his career as celebrity playwright and impresario so that, just as Shakespeare was bidding farewell to London and his theatrical career, so Prospero bids farewell to his island, his spirit companions and to his magical powers by destroying his spell book and magic staff: “This rough magic I here abjure . . . . . . . . . . I’ll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, And deeper than did ever plummet sound I’ll drown my book.” Charlie handled Prospero’s iconic speeches masterfully and carried the show to its conclusion as all but Caliban, Stephano and Trinculo set sail to leave the island. Neatherd students once again showed what amazing performers, choreographers and directors they are in their contribution to the festival. They thoroughly deserved the rapturous applause they received at the end of the night. Business as usual to day though as all members of the cast are involved in rehearsals for the school’s annual production and various musical functions! Acknowledgement and thanks are also due to Miss Costenbarder who joined our team in June as co-director and dialogue coach and to Miss Harris who helped and advised students with choreographic ideas for key moments in the action. Thanks also are due to the parents and staff who attended the show last night to support us and cheer the cast on! Sally Sanderson Director

Professor John Shepherd visits Neatherd geography. This morning a group of 80 Year 10 and Year 11 geographers and scientists received a 45 minute talk from Professor John Shepherd about climate change. We were privileged to welcome Professor Shepherd to the school, who has a CBE for his work on oceanography and climate change and is also a Fellow of the Royal Society. The students experienced a thoroughly informative talk about the reasons why our climate is changing and the potential impacts these changes could have on our earth. Professor Shepherd stayed behind afterwards and spoke to some Year 11s individually and answered any of their questions.

Hallowe'en Bake-Off Tuesday night saw the return of the Bake Off competition with a Halloween theme. After much deliberation, the winning team was Cavell, who took first prize with their fantastic ‘eyeball chocolate cake’. The Judges were very impressed with their artistic talents. Please congratulate Mrs Coxon, Elsie, Lucie and Grace for their well deserved victory. The final standings were - 1. Cavell 2. Carter 3. Kett 4. Fry Commiserations to Miss Cordle and her Fry team who gambled with a graveyard themed cupcake selection. A special mention to Mrs Fitt, Mr Coleman and Dr Faulkner who has the very tough task of eating cakes and dishing out scores. The next Bake off competition will be help in December with a Christmas theme, there are already 3 teams on the waiting list and lots of pupils dying to get involved, so the format will be changed slightly to allow as many of the pupils to participate as possible. The dates will be announced closer to the time. If you would like to get involved as a nominated adult, judge or just a helping hand please give me an email. Thanks again to everyone who came, Mr Anderson SNAG & Food for Life Coordinator

Overdue library books. Dear Parent/carer, Reminders have been sent out to students who have overdue library books. At present we have over 400 books that are overdue and despite several previous reminders through form time and library lessons students are unfortunately still 'forgetting' to return their books. With the amount of books overdue it has impacted on providing a poor service to your children where popular books are not available to borrow. With this in mind I am requesting your help and support in encouraging your child to return their books on time. All overdue books MUST be returned by this Friday 4th November- any that are still overdue by more than four weeks will have a charge of £6.50 placed on your Parent Pay account which will remain in place until either the book is returned or charge has been paid to replace the missing book. Your child may also find that they will not be able to borrow a book from the school library until the book is returned which may hinder their progress and pleasure of reading. Students are allowed to borrow up to three books for a loan period of two weeks and can be renewed after this period should the need arise. Any books that are lost or damaged must be replaced. Thank you in advance for your help in returning our book shelves to their full glory providing a wide and varied collection of fantastic fiction and interesting non-fiction books. Kind Regards Mrs L. Gill Librarian

Self-Esteem Counselling Service with Shelly. Hello everyone, my name is Michelle Savage but most people call me Shelly. I’m covering the maternity leave of the school counsellor Mrs Hall and I will be with you for the whole school year. I’m based in the old Link Office in the entrance to the Humanities Building (by the way, we’re trying to think of a more catchy name for the room so let me know if you can think of one). My job is to listen to pupils who are going through tough times or need a little bit of extra support. My training is in person-centred counselling which was pioneered by an American psychologist called Carl Rogers. He said “when someone really hears you without passing judgement on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mould you, it feels really good.” So my job is to create a safe space where pupils can talk without fear of being judged. The sessions last 30 minutes and we start with six sessions and then do a review to see if the pupil needs more. If you would like to see me, you need to contact Mr O’Brien. There could be a waiting list but don’t forget I’m not the only source of emotional support in the school. The reason I wanted to work at Dereham Neatherd is because I love the whole school approach to mental health. Why do people call me Shelly? Well for many years I’ve been a community filmmaker called Shelly Telly. I’m a creative person and I believe that one of the best ways to learn any skill, whether it’s filmmaking or self-care, is to have fun. I’ve been creating some resources with pupils to develop confidence – we are very proud of our new game “Self-Esteem Jenga”. Every brick has a top tip or word of wisdom taken from “The Little Book of Self Esteem” by Anita Naik. I’ll be doing some assemblies across the school year so I look forward to meeting you all at some point. Take care…..

Here, they enjoyed a personal tour from ‘Normal for Norfolk’s’ Desmond MacCarthy (BBC2) around Wiveton Hall to see first-hand how a farm can be diversified and make money in a number of different ways. They also enjoyed a delicious lunch consisting of one of the Café’s famous salad bowls and some fresh strawberries, meringue and cream- all from the farm. It was a beautiful sunny day and the pupils and staff really enjoyed learning about this little gem. We would really recommend that you pay a visit sometime this summer, but make sure you book!

You will then have some free time to talk to friends old and new. Don't worry, everything will be great and you will soon wonder what all the fuss was about. Intake Evening is on Thursday so your parents can get more information.

New Intake Evening at Neatherd on Thursday 14th July It is not long to go until your child(ren) leave their Primary Schools and become pupils of Neatherd High School. We look forward to them joining us and hope they will be very happy at our school. We would just like to remind you about the intake arrangements this year. The children will be at Neatherd for three days from Wednesday, 13th to Friday 15th July. The days will include a range of interactive and exciting classroom activities which will prepare them for life at Neatherd. On Thursday, 14th July at 7pm we will be holding our Intake Evening in the school canteen where parents / carers and students will receive more information about Neatherd and what to expect from September. If you haven’t yet signed up your child for Summer School (22nd – 25th August), there are still a few spaces left. Please contact Mrs Broughton at the school who can send you another application form. Please note that spaces are free for children who qualify for Pupil Premium Funding. We look forward to meeting you on Thursday, 14th July. Yours sincerely Mr O'Brien
