What a term! Inside this mammoth edition will be reminders of some exhilarating events. From Sir Linkalot to Huw Jones, we have been inspired by our vis-itors. We have tried new experiences, not least Forest School and enjoyed some new clubs. We have visited castles, museums and Lego-land. We have laughed, cried, run, explored, played, studied, scored goals, dressed up, sold cakes, eaten bannoffee pie, painted, acted, argued, composed, written, performed, swum, sung, danced, experimented, tested, passed, failed, won, lost, grown and learnt new things. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our fantastic 2016 Gaps, Allysha de Ambro-sis and Josh Cheney, who have shown such commitment to the school, who have become such treasured members of the SG family and who will be remembered for their never-ending enthusiasm, their music-making and wonderful friendship. Farewell! Best wishes to all for a very Happy Christmas and New Year.

Sara Holman’s Musical Bumps, our Mother & Tod-dler Music session. Thursdays at 9.15 in Sunley
As part of Spring Grove's Forest School initiative, children from across the School are taking part in The Woodland Trust's Green Tree School Award Scheme. The scheme rewards schools for completing environmental projects and encouraging outdoor learning and is a fantastic way to enhance the School's green credentials whilst further inspiring our children about woods and trees.
A combination of our Forest School lessons and some of this term's nature-inspired art and literacy work have led to us to recently being granted the Bronze Award. Never wishing to rest on our laurels the quest for the Silver Award has begun in earnest... and we need your help!
Our next challenge is to recycle Christmas cards in order to turn them back into trees though a joint initiative with M&S and The Woodland Trust. Col-lection boxes will be placed in Reception, Nursery and Teddies at the start of next term. Please save your cards once the festivi-ties are over and bring them in when everyone returns in the New Year
Thanks for your help... and Merry Christmas!
In 2017, Spring Grove School celebrates its 50th year. The SG50 Committee working in col-laboration with the existing SGPTA are planning a series of wonderful events to mark this important milestone for a school which holds so many happy memories for us all. We will begin our celebratory year with a fabulous Gala Ball to be held on the 10th of June 2017 (updates will follow via social media/newsletter/website). We hope this will be an opportunity for the whole school family, both present and past to reunite and reminisce about this very special school whilst enjoying an evening of superb entertainment, music and fine dining. We have already received a hugely positive re-sponse, so tickets, when released, will be limited so start planning your tables!
Sue Pullen Chair, SG50 Committee
Charity Information It has been a busy term and inspired by our charity prefects, Isabelle Beadle and Daisy Morris, we have raised money for the following charitable causes: During the week of centenary celebrations of the birth of Roald Dahl, we raised £71.33 for the Roald Dahl’s Children’s Charity when we dressed up as our favourite Dahl character. Bake Sale for Guide dogs for the Blind: (£190.00) We have continued with our traditional annual Har-vest Offerings to Ashford Food Bank and also Brambles Residential Home (in Wye) for whom we have also provided some entertaining carol singing. We have also raised money for the Royal British Legion (through the sale of poppies) and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI) when we led the singing in Ashford Cattle Market work-ing alongside Brockhill School and their farm ani-mals. Our Carol Service offering has been shared be-tween St Mary’s Ashford, the central Ashford church which generously allowed us to use their fantastic building and also the South African Schools’ Pro-ject (SASP). We have made a donation of £157.00 to both charities. Finally, our fantastic carol singing outside Fenwicks in Canterbury raised a whopping £355.93 for Porch-light, for whom we have regularly raised money. I am delighted that Rachel van Hoven will be visiting the school on 3rd February 2017 to tell us how the money is spent and how the work with the home-less continues.
Teddies We were very pleased to welcome lots of new Teddy members this term and they are all settling in very nicely into our class. During this term we have been learning about The Farm, Autumn and Colours. We also had a role play building site within class and the chil-dren have enjoyed the opportunity to make houses, bridges and walls using hammers, saws and drills with large wooden bricks. In October our Autumn walks proved to be popular collecting conkers, leaves and twigs, especially when we stopped off to watch the builders operating the diggers to construct the new classrooms.
With the festive season fast approaching the children have been very busy in making lots of Christmas craft such as decorating stockings, fir cones and Christmas cards with huge amounts of glitter and glue – great fun! We had a lively and busy Christmas party with lots of party games, delicious party food (a big thank you to parents for the contributions) and a visit from Father Christmas. The children all looked fantastic in their Christmas jumpers. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Mer-
ry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Nursery We welcomed 39 children into the nursery in Sep-tember making it one of our busiest starts to the year. All the children settled very quickly into their new routines, looking forward to their week-ly PE, French and Music lessons. We began the term with our topic on Nursery Rhymes, singing our favourite songs, making Incy Wincy Spiders, Mice and Hedgehogs and using the hand and finger puppets to act out the rhymes.
We enjoyed our Autumnal walk in the school grounds collecting leaves, conkers, chestnuts and copious amounts of twigs and then used the magnifying glasses to look closely at all of the things that we had found. After half term we
used our developing skills to make rockets for bonfire night, Diwali patterns and lots of Christmas craft. The children have all joined in enthusiastically with their PE lessons where they have learnt how to look after their muscles and warm them up so that “they do not ping”. French lessons with Madam Gaudel have introduced them to numbers, colours and family names and it always amazes me how quickly they retain some of the vocabulary. The culmination of our term has, of course, been the Nativity Play. All the children worked very hard to learn the words for our songs and they per-formed magnificently. The final few days were taken up with a visit from Father Christmas, Christmas Lunch and the Christmas singa-long with the rest of the school. We hope you have a lovely Christ-mas break and a Happy New Year! Mrs Clarke, Mrs Upchurch, Mrs
Ward, Mrs Lucy and Miss Rall.

Reception
We have had a busy start to the year, with all the children excited at the prospect of being in Reception. We were thrilled to welcome Rufus Hulme, Henry Battershill and Belle Saunders, they have settled well and quickly become part of the school family here at Spring Grove. Once the children were settled and in an established routine we began working with Letters and Sounds. We introduced the first phase of sounds and begun working on oral segmenting and blending. The children have all responded with enthusiasm to learn and are making good progress in this area of the curriculum. We have started reading the extended stories form the Oxford Reading Tree scheme and some phonics based stories. The children have also been practicing their pencil
control with many of them keen to do some writing! We have been working with numbers to 20 and beyond, recognizing, ordering and counting out objects. We have revised 2shape and in our play explored different measures. Over the term we have delved into many areas of interest, following the children’s ideas. This has been both exciting and rewarding. The children have enjoyed the story Char-lie and the Chocolate factory and exploring the world of Roald Dahl, the tragedy of the Titanic and the building and construction of many dens.
We spent time learning about ourselves and our senses and had a great day out with Mrs Langford at the Julie Rose stadium for our first school trip. When our interests led us to camping, Mr Curnow kindly spent time with us, teaching us some fire basics, safety skills and how to toast giant marshmallows!
We have experienced birthdays, Divali, Halloween, bonfire night and of course Christmas! The children impressed us enormously with their confidence during the Nativity. We are delighted with the work that has taken place this term and feel the children have all made an excellent start to their time in Reception. We would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the New Year! Miss Surtees and Mrs Wil-
liamson.

Form 1
We are at the end of a very busy term. We have had fun remembering all the different things we’ve done. We have focussed this term on our bodies, cold lands, the Victori-ans and enjoyed presenting our assembly and visiting the Museum of Life. We have all made progress with our reading, writing and number work. We are bonding well in our Owl class and making friends and learn-ing to share and listen. We have risen to the challenge of the reward systems and each try hard to win MAD on a daily basis. We are earning stars and have all achieved our first headmaster’s star which is fantas-tic. Thank you for all the support from the parents, Mrs Boucher and a special thank you and goodbye to the lovely Miss de Ambrosis. I would like to wish you all a happy Christmas and encourage you to try to have some rest over the festive period!

Form 2 Here are some of Year 2’s favourite moments of the term.
Amazing Autumn Anecdotes!
“Making and missing friends. Doing division is epic! I’ve really liked golden time and going to the ICT room. The Braille activity was really cool.”
“ I like my new teacher. The Christmas show was lots of fun. Handwriting has been really good this year.”
“Going on the computers is so fun. I loved putting my letter up the chimney, we even saw Father Christmas! I liked talking about eating healthy because I’m really healthy.”
“ I liked practising the play. The trip to Canterbury Cathedral was good. We learnt about Thomas Beck-et and his gruesome death.”
“Doing Forest School was awesome, I loved lighting a fire. It’s been tricky but really cool doing divi-sion.”
“I like my new teacher. I like my hard spellings. Dodgeball is awesome.”
“I really like doing hard maths and having lots of maths homework. Learning about Louis Braille was good because I liked writing in Braille.”
“Lego club is really cool in Form 2. Art is my favourite and I very much like it.”
“Spring Grove is good, I like art and PE a lot!!”
“I have enjoyed getting better at swimming, the Christmas Fair was so fun.”
“Division is just the opposite of times tables so I really like it!”
We are so pleased with the progress the chil-dren have been making this term. They are maturing well and seem to be having some fun too! We wish you a Happy Christmas Mrs Saxby, Mrs Brogan-Jones and Miss Spicer

Prep 3 It seems somewhat unbelievable that the Autumn Term is nearly
at an end but when we reflect on how much we have crammed
into our first 12 weeks of KS2 it is no wonder that time has flown
by!
On the sports field we have been relishing the opportunity to rep-resent the school at football, hockey and cross-country running. We’ve learnt a lot about discipline, working as a team, dealing with victory as well as defeat and have had some fantastic results. Thanks to all those families who have come to see us play and encouraged us from the sidelines. We can’t wait to return to the sports field for the rugby and netball seasons. We have been very lucky to get out and about on trips to support our historical studies. Hever Castle not only delivered some beau-tiful weather and some fascinating insights into medieval life but gave us the opportunity to get absolutely soaked in the water maze. Our trip to Canterbury’s Roman and Heritage museums let us get immersed into Kent life 2000 years ago and allowed us to sample milling grain, minting Roman coins and making catapults. House Entertainments provided a fantastic opportunity for our new pupils to get involved with their friends in each house and Prep 3 played a full part in the shows. It was good to see them then take their new-found confidence on stage into our recent assembly. However, the highlight of our term has to be Forest School which has brought out qualities of independence and initiative in each child. Already, the children are more self-reliant and it is heart-ening to see their growing cooperation and teamwork across the year group. It has been quite a journey self-discovery for every-one involved but we could not have hoped to predict the impact the Forest School has had across every aspect of School. Of course we could not have done anything without all your help and support. Thank you to all those parents and carers who have helped out on Forest School, accompanied us on a trip, provided costumes, assisted with projects, heard readers or helped out in countless other ways throughout the term. It makes such a difference to the children’s (and staff’s!) school experience. As we look ahead to the next term, there will be no let up in the pace of learning and experiences. Academically our two major topics will be The Anglo-Saxons and The Polar Regions. Rugby, netball and cross-country will dominate games periods and we will be heading back into the Forest every second Tuesday beginning on 17th January. The finalé of the term will be the Year 3 & 4 production - title to be announced soon. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas break and wish you all the very best for 2017. Mrs Jones and Mr Curnow

French It has been another successful term in the French department. We began the year with a very well attended French Breakfast. We had good weather and the children enjoyed see-ing the Tricolore flying on the school flagpole. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and as usual the profits will help to subsidise our French trip to the Château. Prep 6 did a great job selling pains au chocolat and croissants at our Café de l’école. They enjoyed dressing up and helping the little ones to order their food and drink in French. Many thanks to Mrs Groom and the kitchen staff without whose help these events could not take place.
Preps 3 to 6 also had the pleasure of attending a French play entitled Ship-wrecked en France which has been the highlight of the term. The children all had a great time and particularly enjoyed watching some of their peers actively joining in with the acting. There were lots of laughs and French words retained by the end of the show. Prep 6 have enjoyed learning how to talk about their families this year as well as describing people’s physical appearance. They have
created some wonderful presentations on the Chromebooks, describing famous ce-lebrities and fictional families. Most can now write longer sentences independently. Prep 5 have been learning about food. They have created amazing posters describing what they like to eat and drink for breakfast. They are particularly good at expressing opinions and at using conjunctions to create longer sentences. In the latter part of the term they wrote a script for a short role play entitled Au Snack Bar and many of the children made an outstanding effort acting it out in front of the group. In Prep 4 we have been learning French trough the topic of Space. The children have created paper rockets following French instructions. They have enjoyed watching an episode of Tintin - On a marché sur la Lune - and getting to know the different char-acters. In the second part of the term they have focussed on naming and describing planets. They completed the term by learning a French song about Space and most could sing the chorus off by heart. Prep 3 have been revising greetings, colours and numbers as well as learning about clothes and food by doing songs and a lot of oral practice in class. They really enjoy speaking and their pronunciation is getting better and better. Form 2 have concentrated on greetings, colours and num-bers. They are working hard to be accurate and to remem-ber details like accents when they copy words. The highlight of their term for me has certainly been seeing them shine as they sang and performed a French greeting song for their class assembly. As well as lots of singing and speaking, Form 1 are also working hard to copy words correctly and they are starting to recognise French words in their written form. They are very good at remembering colours and at greeting each oth-er in French. Nursery and Reception have both enjoyed their songs and language game this term. As well as lots of repetition of vocabulary, we have been playing games with colours, class-room equipment and we have been watching French videos of Petit Ours Brun. Nursery children have particularly en-joyed greeting Jacques, Our French puppet, every lesson and reception have laughed along dancing to simple classroom instructions with Nounours.

Prep 4 Autumn Term began with a visit from Sir Linkalot, who provided us with several brilliant ways of remem-bering things and spelling difficult words. This was quickly followed by our dressing up day to cele-brate the centenary of Roald Dahl’s birthday. Our class reader was ‘Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator,’ which we enjoyed reading and discuss-ing. We journeyed into space with Charlie, his family and Mr. Wonka and met the Vernicious Kinds amongst other characters! Our next class text was ‘One Small Step’ a biography of Neil Armstrong, so again, we ventured into space...leaving us with no option but to present our fantastic assembly about the first steps on the moon. Our first school trip was to Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. We enjoyed an informative tour of the castle itself and explored the castle grounds, finishing by dodging the jets in the water maze (or not, in most cases!). French Breakfast, Harvest Assembly and Open Morning followed...with House Entertainment, too...and all before a well deserved rest at half term. Feeling refreshed, we focused upon friendships and being kind to one another and learnt a lot during our ‘Anti-Bullying Week.’ Everyone in Prep 4 has had an opportunity to represent Spring Grove in a sport of some kind this term and many children endured the rain and wind to run in the Kent Cross Country Championships in Detling. We said a sad goodbye to football and hockey but look forward to rugby and netball, next term. Prep 4 had a wonderful experience in King’s Wood, in Forest School. We learnt all about safety and survival, and lit a campfire. We made an Andy Goldsworthy inspired art installation and loved building dens, too. Our test week was made sweeter as we used our new set of Chrome Books for most of our assessments. We have absolutely loved using them in lessons, too; sharing Google Documents, researching ideas on the inter-net, and completing assignments on Active Learn. All in all it has been a fantastic first term, we have learnt a lot and had a great deal of fun along the way. The
Christmas festivities have left us tired but excited for the holiday ahead. Merry Christmas, everyone…..and
have a peaceful and prosperous New Year!

Prep 5
The term has flown by. Prep 5 have been in-volved in so many activities this term. Clubs, sport, bake sales, French breakfast, assembly, carol singing not to mention a pile of work. We have had some new children join the class but you would guess that Violet and Pedro have been at SG for years. They have both settled very well and are our MAD winners for the term. The 11+ club will begin in the new year for those that are inclined to take the test next September. The sessions will be aimed at the 11+ level and although all are welcome, there should be that knowledge and problem solving skills in place already. With such a long term behind us a good rest and holiday is the order of the day. There will be some NVR work from me and I am sure some reading and English work from Mrs Rafferty but not enough to get in the way of family time. I have been so pleased with 5D over the term, they are a very likable bunch with talent oozing from all areas. Our scholars, musicians, singers and sports people have given me many rea-sons to smile. Can I thank you all for your generous gifts and cards and may I wish you all a wonderful time with your families. I hope Santa is nice to one and all.
Prep 6
Prep 6 have thoroughly enjoyed this first term in their final year at SG. There have already been lots of things that they have involved themselves in. Raising money for charity, showing prospective parents around, a very poignant remembrance assembly, the catwalk hatwalk and the Christmas carol service to name but a few. There are some very lively characters in the class and somebody doing something with a broad smile on
their face is never far away! There are a couple of things to work on, like who should clean up a drink after it’s been knocked over at lunch time, and how to tidy a table after everyone has finished, but on the whole there seems to be a fantastic bond be-tween them and there is much to look forward to in the term after Christmas.

Boys’ Sport
So a busy season comes to an end. The U11 boys A team had fixtures on an almost weekly basis and the B’s had several fixtures throughout the season. Both teams were successful, and eve-ryone who played seemed to enjoy themselves whilst representing the school. Winning the plate competition in the Metherell cup was probably the highlight for the U11s, and a special mention should go to Josh Desmet of prep 4, who played every match, and tournament, in goal for the U11’s. The U9’s also enjoyed a fantastic season. With only 3 year 4 students in the team it looks very promising for a really strong team next year. This year the majority of the teams we played were slightly older than us across the board, but we still had plenty to talk about. Highlights in the U9’s would be the B team making the plate final at the Spring Grove U9 tournament. It was a great day with 16 different teams repre-senting their schools and to make the plate final was no small achievement. We have had 1 pre-season rugby training match and several of the boys showed that it may well be that rugby is their game more than football! Our first U11 training session is on our first day back so please don’t forget GUMSHIELD.
We were very excited when Stormers and Scotland player, Huw Jones, visited the school, signed autographs and told us that rugby was not scary!
13
Girls’ Sport
Now that this term has drawn to an end so has the hockey season (for most). It’s time to put away those hockey sticks and mouthguards until next year. The girls have experienced a mixture of results, some good and some that could have gone better. Even when the girls suffered defeats their spirits still remained high. A number of girls, particularly from year 3 and 4 now play for clubs, this has given our U9 teams a boost. For the year 3 girls, hockey has been a challenge but they should be praised for their efforts and enthusiasm. At this point I would like to say thank you to the parents who came along in all weathers to support the girls. I know they very much appreciated the encouragement given. Cross country has yet again been a high point. There were some fantastic placings at the House and Interschools’ event and also at the Kent Primary Schools’ Championships. Well done to the boys and girls who have represented the school in cross country events this term. Finally, I’d like to wish everyone a happy Christmas and a pros-perous New Year.

Autumn 2016 Music Review
Rebuilding our Bands and Orchestra with a new group of mu-
sicians is always a challenge and we have been given an im-petus with the arrival of three new visiting music teachers: Sian Jarman (Violin), Stina Wilson (Flute) and Peter Cook (Clarinet/Saxophone). Their new and ongoing pupils have had a most encouraging term, joining those taught by Andrew Lowen (Piano and Singing), Claire Dywer (Piano), Martin Gove (Brass), Ben Insall (Guitar), Ashley Smith (percussion) and Rachel Waltham (Cello). We are most grateful to all for their excellent contributions, supporting their pupils not only through exams but in concerts and the Carol Service. We will miss the outstanding example set by our Gap Students Allysha de Ambrosis (Clarinet)and Josh Cheney (Tenor Saxophone) who have faithfully supported every event and left a legacy of memorable performances , not least Life on Mars!(Youtube)
Orchestral Summer Course gave both SG and young musicians from other schools the opportunity to play a variety of
jazz and classical arrangements and again we are grateful to Bill and Sue McConnell as guest conductor/arranger and player/support for their wonderful enthusiasm.
All Prep 3 have enjoyed their violin skills course led by Sian Jarman and performed in classes, in an Informal Concert
and the Carol Service in St Mary’s Ashford. (We will return to a refurbished Wye church next year).
Learning to respond to music from an early age gives children a confidence for life and Sarah Holman’s Early Years clas-
ses have added more opportunities for our children to enjoy.
Debut performances for many new musicians in our Informal Concerts in the Music Room were so well attended that it
was standing room only. Thanks to parents for your support, as there is no substitute for regular practice and encour-agement at home.
Drama LAMDA lessons will lead to exams in the Spring term and we are grateful to Mrs Kim Bourne who again has se-
cured SG Music Room as an exam centre so that our pupils will feel at ease and confident.
Advent of Nativity shows for Early Years and KS1 which were enjoyed by all with impressive, confident and tuneful sing-
ing. Thank you to all the staff and parents involved.
House Entertainments captured the imagination of the performers with our Roald Dahl theme, providing fun and team-
work across the year groups, fabulous costumes, wonderful singing and Oompa-loompas everywhere!
Lots of music and drama will continue next term with exams, Prep 3 and 4 musical show in March, Informal concerts
and our Easter Service in Wye church. Hilary Jones
Director of Music
