Autumn 2014
Dear Parents, Carers, Boys, Girls and Friends
The autumn term is always a busy time in school with examinations, winter sports and
Christmas rehearsals. Schools strike the balance between the festive season and school
work, keeping the boys and girls on task right up to the last day, albeit with some changes
such as an extended Christmas Lunch and the charity Christmas Jumper fundraiser for Save
the Children.
So far this term, the school community has raised £810.03 for Macmillan Coffee Morning
and £1908.00 for Children in Need. Thank you so much for your support.
The end of Autumn Term ends on Friday, 19th December when we will be closing just a
little earlier at 3.00pm. The school re-opens to pupils on Tuesday, 6th January 2015
(Monday, 5th January is a staff training day).
We were very pleased to meet so many of you at the recent Form Consultations at the
beginning of November, parents received their child’s effort report for the Autumn term. If
you were unable to attend we will be inviting you to the Consultation afternoon on the 4th
February. Looking ahead to next term Subject Consultations will be taking place on Tuesday
3rd, Thursday 12th, Tuesday 17th and Thursday, 26th March for all year groups. This will be a
chance to meet with your child’s subject teachers. Details of booking appointments will be
sent out via pupils in February.
Adverse Weather
and Travel
Conditions
We ask all pupils to ensure that they are dressed appropriately for cold weather and wear a
coat to and from school in the winter months. Pupils who have passed their Cycling
Proficiency Test in Year 6 and continue to cycle to school in the winter months should
ensure that their bicycles are roadworthy and they have lights on their bike and reflectors
on their clothing.
In the event of a cancellation to a fixture or club after school, we endeavour to contact all
parents by text or phone. If your child is not sure of their after school arrangements they
are expected to see a member of staff and make a phone call to their parents before
leaving the School site.
As the winter months approach and ahead of possible severe weather, I would draw your
attention to arrangements regarding the potential disruption to the School should we
experience severe winter weather conditions. We will alert parents via text messaging, and
via the website. In bad weather you may experience delays or even late cancellations and
our advice to parents is that children should wait for up to 20 minutes for the school bus in
these circumstances. We will text parents if we are informed of a cancellation to one of the
services.

Year 6 Author Visit
Geography
The PTA Grand Christmas Raffle was officially launched at School in assembly on Tuesday,
4th November. Last year the raffle raised over £4,000. Again this year with the assistance
from numerous companies who are kindly making donations we have some fantastic
prizes. These include an Apple iPhone 6 for 1st prize, 2nd prizes of an Apple iPad mini and
third prize of Bounce Vouchers for the Trampolining Centre in Milton Keynes. All pupils
have been given raffle tickets to sell and should see Ms Degano at Main Reception if they
require more books. There are form class prizes for the class in each year who sell the most
raffle tickets.
Year 6 pupils were treated to a visit
from author and illustrator, Jasper
Cooper, on the morning of Thursday
25th September. He enthralled the
pupils with details of his Kingdom of
Gems trilogy and his latest book, Gordo,
inspired by the true story of a monkey
sent into space. Jasper's artwork was
displayed and discussed, bringing the
stories to life. He also personally signed
copies of his books after the
presentation. A great morning was had by all! Jasper went on to visit other schools in the
area before an official book signing at Waterstone's in Bedford.
The year 7s and 8s have been getting very creative in Geography this term. As part of the
year 7 ‘Settlements’ scheme we have been looking at land-use models, which show
patterns in town planning. To show off their knowledge of the model they are challenged
to design a model city representing all the elements they had learnt about. We all had a
really good time and the models they built were fantastic!
The year 8s have their sculpting boots on. They had to make moving examples of the
different plate boundaries, as part of the ‘Tectonic Hazards’ unit. The enjoyment and
nostalgia was clear from the beginning of the lesso and adding in a competitive element
made for a memorable lesson.

Lincroft School Newsletter – November 2014
This year we are also hoping to offer some exciting extra-curricular activities. Some of Year
8 went to the Natural History Museum on 25th November to look at the ‘Earth Galleries’
and received a workshop on tectonic hazards. This was a very enjoyable visit and the
children had a great time.

History
The History Department is
as busy as ever. Firstly we
celebrated Black History
month in October and we
had a number of outside
speakers visit. In Year 5
they looked at celebrating
Afro-Carribbean culture by
learning some carnival
dances. In Year 6 pupils were involved with an interact presentation. Year 7 met Jo Hudson
–Scott a black actress and singer. Lastly, Year 8 experienced African drumming and the
history behind it. On Friday 17th October the School held a mufti day to help support and
finance all the visitors coming to the school. We hope the children enjoyed their visit.
High School
Musical
The annual summer production took place once again at The Mill Theatre, Sharnbrook over
three evenings (8th, 9th, 10th July). The final two performances were a complete sell out,
so thank you very much to our audience for your support. The principle roles of Troy
Bolton and Gabriella Montez were played by the very talented, George Wegener and Kate
Whiteway. These two pupils led the entire cast through two acts of Disney magic, leaving
the audience desperate to stand, dance and sing along! After having rehearsed for many
hours, the final performances were a huge success and the production team would like to
thank all pupils involved for giving up so much of their time and energy to making the show
so incredibly successful - you should all be very proud!

The Winter's Tale Kre8 Company
Before we completed the last academic year, I decided to audition pupils in the current
Year 6 and 7 for the next production that the Key Stage 3 Drama Company (Kre8 Company)
will be staging. The piece has been staged at two venues, Lincroft School and Bedford
Modern School. The performances took place during 12th and 17th-19th, November 2014.
The play is one of Shakespeare's less well-known pieces, and I modernised the setting and
staging in order to allow pupils the opportunity to thoroughly engage with the plot and
themes. Year 6 pupils also experienced a workshop based on 'The Winter's Tale' during
their Year 7 transfer days in the summer, and I am excited by the response of pupils who
now wish to join Drama in Key Stage 3.
Milton Ernest
Village Fete Concert Band
Lincroft Concert Band were very privileged to be invited back to perform at the Milton
Ernest Village Fete in the summer. This year the Concert Band were accompanied by the
award-winning Harmonise Chamber Choir. Each ensemble performed its own set, including
solos from Year 8 musicians, Beth Nunn and Bethany Perry. The pupils did well to remain in
high spirits due to the torrential down-pour that was timed precisely when we were due to
perform! Thank you to parents, carers and family members who came along to support the
pupils. I look forward to taking more musicians to this event next year.
Battle of the Bard,
Bedford Modern
School & Spooky
Shakespeare
Showcase
Pupils in the Key Stage 3 Kre8 Drama Company have performed again this week at Bedford
Modern School's Battle of the Bard Festival once again this year. The pupils who were
successful in auditioning for 'The Winter's Tale' worked really hard for their big
performance on Monday, 17th November.
Christmas
Concerts - dates
for your diaries!
I am pleased to be able to give you advanced notice of the dates for our Christmas concerts
this year. Following on from previous year's, there will be two concerts held during the
festive season. The Federation Concert, involving pupils from all three middle schools, will
be held at the University of Bedfordshire Theatre, Polhill Campus, on Tuesday, 16th
The popular event, Spooky Shakespeare Showcase, was held in the Old Hall on Wednesday,
12th November and included two abridged Shakespeare plays: The Winter's Tale and The
Merchant of Venice. Both plays were performed by members of the Kre8 Company. The
show was sold out very early on.

December. Alongside this concert, Lincroft pupils will be staging their very own carol
concert on Thursday, 11th December. The carol concert will be a traditional celebration of
the Christmas festival, and shall include readings from a diverse range of members from
our school community.
Music
Opportunities &
Clubs
I am pleased to report that we have had another very successful start to the school year,
with many Year 5 pupils wishing to start learning to play an instrument. If your child has
not yet had an opportunity to try out an instrument of their choice, then please contact
Miss Oliver who will be able to take your details. I am happy to organise a trial on any
instrument we have available, however, it should be noted that there is currently no space
on the drums, guitar or piano. Other instruments which have spaces include: French Horn,
tuba, trombone, trumpet, oboe, bassoon, clarinet and singing.
Aside from learning to play an instrument, the school offers the following free ensembles
for pupils to attend: School Choir, School Wind Band, School Rock Group, Composition
Club, Orchestra and Music Theory Club. Further details of these clubs can be found on the
school's Clubs and Activities Schedule.
Macbeth
performance at
The Mill Theatre
Key stage 3 pupils who have an enthusiasm for English, Drama and Theatre were taken to
The Mill Theatre on Monday, 15th September to watch the resident theatre group perform
Barry Thompson's production of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'.
The piece was set against a bleak and highly detailed back-drop, with the use of technology
to aide in thrusting the piece into the twenty-first century. Thompson's costume decisions
allowed the audience to be drawn into the hierarchy of characters, and establish the harsh
climate in which the Scottish play was written for. The musical accompaniment also added
an constant unsettled feeling for the audience to attach themselves to, and engage further
in the plot of this well-known tragedy.
The pupils were able to stay for a 'Q and A' after the performance, allowing them the
chance to discuss particular directorial and/or performance decisions that had been made.
Pupils certainly used this opportunity to their advantage, and all staff were really proud of
the way the pupils conducted themselves.
Thank you for representing the school so positively,
English and Drama departments
Dance Show
The Lincroft Dance Show will be held at Lincroft School in the Main Hall 5 th and 6th March
2015 6pm -8.30pm. There will be a technical rehearsal after school in the Main Hall 2nd
March until 6pm and a technical and dress rehearsal 4th March until 6pm. The auditions for
the Dance Show will take place in January and further information will be displayed on the
Performing Arts notice board.
Two Thirds Sky Workshop
The performance work is a dialogue between action, feeling
and the visual image. Primarily the company is concerned with
moving bodies in space, however the work searches for new
modes of expression; in order to relate a dance idea to
contemporary audiences. The works to date have included the
use of cinematic forms, music, design and voice.

Lincroft School Newsletter – November 2014
The workshop was such a fantastic opportunity for the students involved, and the
enthusiastic feedback during the day enhanced the high standard of work that was
produced. Each pupil that attended the workshop was invited to audition for the dance
company, some of which were successful in gaining a place! The students were a credit to
the school, thank you for your hard work.
Physical Education
At Lincroft we are very
fortunate to be able to employ
outside sports coaches to work
alongside our PE staff. Theses
coaches are with our pupils
both during curriculum time
and extra-curricular. At the
present time we have 6
different coaches working in
gymnastics,
table
tennis,
hockey, rugby, golf & football.
When employing these staff to work within our school Lincroft follows the safe recruitment
practice and guidance from The Association for Physical Education (afPE). Prior to starting
with us at Lincroft the DBS status & qualifications of staff will have been checked to ensure
that they have the correct level of competence to work with our pupils. We hope that your
children continue to enjoy the excellent sporting opportunities Lincroft provides.
We have had a fantastic start to the autumn term with the warm dry weather allowing all
the PE groups to get on with their outdoor lessons uninterrupted. However now the colder
months have arrived extra clothing should now be brought to the PE lessons. The girls
should be wearing their fleece top and may bring a pair of navy or black jogging bottoms as
we hit the colder months. Boys are wearing their rugby kit.
All our PE groups need to have a change of footwear to walk to and from the new field in.
This is in an attempt to keep the public footpath free of mud and grass. It is therefore
advisable for everyone to have a boot or shoe bag to leave their footwear in during PE. If
you son or daughter has to be excused from a PE lesson they should have their coat with
them so that they can continue to accompany their class group outside and still stay warm.
Although we have begun with most groups on Netball we are just swapping over to hockey
and therefore everyone needs a gum shield, shin pads, long socks & football boots for the
next few weeks of PE.
Clubs and fixtures information can all be found on the School sports website. If you click on
the ‘whistle’ on the main school website you will be able to view all the information about
our extra-curricular sport. If you need to get a message to pupils involved in clubs or
fixtures Mrs Buszka or Miss Oliver can be contacted directly in the SPA reception on
extension 219.
It was a very busy first half term of PE fixtures and sports practices, with many excellent
individual and team performances to celebrate.

House colours and represent their House. What is extremely pleasing is that the first 5
competitions had 5 different winners. Please see below for the results of the first few
competitions.

Year 5 News
Year 5 Blue Peris Residential Trip - we had two successful trips to Wales in October, and
despite some extreme weather we also managed to have some bright days to appreciate
the amazing surroundings. The children grew a lot during the weeks, gained more
independence, and on occasions stepped out if their comfort zones. Most of them still
need practise making their beds and organising their belongings though!
Autumn Fair- the Year 5 fair was held on the 15th November and raised over £850.00 We
had a great afternoon and would like to thank all pupil, parents and busine come along and
support us.
Rising STARS
Four students in Year 8 recently undertook a day of training as Students as Researchers
(STARS). STARs are a small group of students who work with members of the Senior
Leadership Team and with teachers in order to support the development of outstanding
teaching and of excellent learning experiences for all of our children. In their training, our
STARS were asked to think about what makes a good lesson, how children learn best and
what kind of displays help them to learn. The STARs were also trained in methods of
observing lessons and took part in a series of learning walks around the school looking
specifically at displays.
Their reflections have been shared with staff and Lincroft and have already proven to be
informative and thought provoking.
Well done to William Donnelly, William Knapman, Gabby Morley and Destiny Smith who
form the STAR team. They will be asked to work with us to continue to develop our
teaching practice and will be an invaluable support to staff at the school.
School Transport
Pupils are not permitted to travel without a valid bus pass. Bedford Borough Council is
responsible for allocating the seats for all school buses. The School will only issue
temporary bus passes to those children who have lost their original pass. Please do not
request children switch their normal bus routes, or ask for children who do not normally
catch a school bus to have a pass just for one day. LA Contact: Transport Co-ordination
