semi-final where he fought for a place in the National Under 18s Boys’ Epee Final.

Following a close tussle throughout, James lost 14-12 as the time elapsed, finishing the event with a Bronze medal and 3rd place.

Congratulations James - a fantastic achievement!

On Wednesday 28th February 2015 Dan Alldis, a Naval architect and engineer, from MOST (AV)Ltd visited the school to talk to the 6th form about careers in engineering.

HIs visit has led to an exciting partnership between the Company and the School. In 2011 Most AV Ltd developed the unique Auto-Naut wave propulsion system as an autonomous vessel designed for scientific ocean research, commercial data gathering, and defence applications.

Data collected by Auto-Naut - an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV)- will be sent to the Langton to provide our students with the opportunity to deal with real, scientific data. The way in which the data is processed and presented will be entirely up to the students involved – they can write their own programs and will be in constant contact with MOST (AV) Ltd for help and advice. It will be a wonderful experience for all budding engineers.

Congratulations are in order for Cal Hewitt in Year 11. Cal will become the first student to be given a Gridd Certificate, a digital security certificate which will allow him to be part of Gridd PP.

“The Grid” is the next leap in computer interconnectivity. The Internet and the World Wide Web are increasingly an integral part of

Students Get the Most out ofAuto-Naut Data

people’s lives, helping the world share information and transfer data quickly and easily. GridPP is a collaboration of Particle Physicists and Computing Scientists from 19 UK universities, Rutherford Apple-ton Laboratory and CERN, who are building a Grid for Particle Physics.

Funded by the government, through STFC, it is the UK’s contribution to the international collaboration building a worldwide Grid, the wLCG. With the Large

Hadron Collider, the world’s larg-est particle accelerator, running at CERN the grid is being used to process the accompanying data deluge. The UK grid is contributing more than the equivalent of 20,000 PCs to this worldwide effort.

Most of the users who hold certificates have doctorates and beyond so it is quite an achievement and honour for a 16 year old young man.

A self-portrait is an exploration of your face and personality.

Portrait of a Man in a Turban by Jan van Eyck of 1433 may well be the earliest known panel self-portrait. With better and cheaper mirrors becoming widely available during the mid-15th century we begin to see artists more frequently depicting them-selves as either the main subject, or as important characters in their work.

Year 10 Students were asked to consider lots of things before they started their portraits – one of which was the use of colour – how different colours made them feel, did they suggest different moods? Should they use their favourite colours to convey something about themselves?

We hope you will agree that the results are outstanding.

Inspection success at Kent College where excellence is a habit. ‘We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.’ A quote attributed to Aristotle which accurately describes the work of Kent College, an outstanding school for boys and girls aged between 3 and 18.Many schools may be pleased to be recognised as excellent (or as the top grade used to be, ‘outstanding’) in one or two areas of an inspection report but Kent College is delighted that the ISI inspection team of 18 which visited in January judged the school to be excellent in every aspect. This follows on from the last ISI inspection in 2009 and an Ofsted boarding inspection in 2011 where all areas were

deemed ‘outstanding’.Since the previous inspection in 2009, the college has undertaken a number of curriculum changes to further its commitment to the development of individuals: restructuring of setting arrangements; introduction of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma alongside A Levels; extended teaching time; the addition of new subjects; one-to-one computer provision; an increase in accelerated learning programmes and bespoke timetabling. The house system has been restructured to enhance integration and many teaching and boarding facilities have been extended

and improved. inspiring events have been

supported with investment from Artswork, the South East Bridge.Excellent teaching based on teachers’ strong subject knowledge and an accurate understanding of each pupil’s needs, encourages academic rigour, curiosity, and critical awareness at all levels, is complemented by the time and commitment given by staff outside the classroom, where extra support is always available, often in the form of well-attended ‘drop-in’ clinics. Individual pupils also receive specifically tailored help. Relationships between staff and pupils are excellent.

Bespoke timetabling enables the college to meet pupils’ subject choices and, for instance, additional practice time for advanced athletes or musicians. Pupils are recognised as individuals and all staff take pride in encouraging and supporting each to achieve his or her best. The pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is excellent.

May Day Fun at the CastleWhitstable Endowed wins a clean sweepChildren who had entered the competition to design a May Poster received their prizes from Dixie Lee who had introduced the May Day festival forty years ago. The first prize winner was Olivia Boxall, from Whitstable Endowed C of E Junior School. Olivia’s picture was also featured on the front cover of the events programme. Joint runners-up were Yvonne Ling and Ava Attwooll, also of Whitstable Endowed C of E Junior School. All three winners are ten years old, in year five, in the same class and are the best of friends.

Each year, Whitstable and Herne Bay Lions invite children from local schools to enter their May Day Poster Competition. This year 3 schools entered, and the judges (who do not know the names of the children or the schools they attend) chose three prize winners. All three came from year 5 at the Endowed School, all are 10 years old and in the same class, and all three are the best of friends.

Olivia Boxall, the first prize winner, also won the first prize last year. Olivia’s picture was used as a poster to promote the event and was displayed locally. It was also featured on the front cover of the 1,500 events programmee the Lions sold on May Day as part of their fundraising for those in need.

…..doing it the Whitstable Way!Whitstable Junior School had an Ofsted Inspection on 23rd and 24th April and we were delighted to share this with our parents last week. Ofsted has rated the school as “Good” in all four areas; Achievement, Teaching & Learning, Behaviour & Safety and Leadership & Management.We are very proud that Whitstable Junior School has been rated as good as a result of this inspection which recognises the significant improvements since the OFSTED inspectors were last here. The report recognises the impact of the actions we have taken in our endeavours to make Whitstable Junior School ‘the best it can be’.We are delighted that Ofsted recognised, as a strength of the school, the pupils’ good behaviour, their support of one another and their very positive attitudes to learning which is a key factor in their good achievement. The school’s good leadership, including effective and improved governance was highlighted in the report, alongside the good teaching, some of which is outstanding. Inspectors commented on how teachers enthusiasm was infectious, making learning fun and ensuring children had highly positive attitudes towards learning.“The entire report is a celebration of what can

be achieved when everyone within a school community work together to ensure young people are valued, cared for and challenged to fulfil their potential and beyond. Whitstable Junior School is a true community school, where there is a high level of respect and consideration throughout the school with everyone working well with each other. The grading reflects the drive and ambition to aim high which comes from all groups, pupils, staff, governors and parents. We are particularly proud of the good achievement for all groups. No matter what a child’s background, ability or culture, children do well in our school which clearly places learning at the centre of its work, but where children are cared for and given many opportunities to access well planned enrichment activities.

“You’re doing it wrong!” “Gimme the controller, I’ll do it!” “Go and sit over there!”Ever played Minecraft? If so, these comments will probably be familiar. If you’re anything like me,and relatively new to gaming, you’re likely to still be hearing those angry, irritated voices onceyou’ve familiarised yourself with the block-by-block, never-ending world.So what can you do to make it better?Well, you could look to your left and find a pig for no apparent reason. Or, you could run towardsthe green “creeper” monsters who plan to blow

up your house, your town, your belongings, and your very existence – or you could read this tutorial.Don’t get hungry! - No one likes mining on an empty stomach. Imagine digging down, down, down, into the pits of the universe and finding out that you’ve run out of ham sandwiches. Bad times, right? They’re are plenty of cows, pigs, and chickens around to keep your little explorer going ‘till tea time.Don’t go out at night! - Unless you’re a master of the game and have found a diamond helmet,diamond armour, diamond boots, and a diamond sword, it’s probably best that you avoid the night time. Unless of course you like being ravaged by swarms of spiders, skeletons, and zombies. If you’re not prepared for an early and untimely demise, it might be best to stay in; pop your feet up; and wait for the morning sun to rise.Don’t build a house out of glass! - Didn’t the little pigs teach us anything? The wolf might not blow you’re house down, but everything else will. The enemies will take great joy in taking your translucent masterpiece and reducing into shards of glass in the grass. Be a smart piggy, build your house out of brick and keep out those pesky wolves.Don’t Dig Down! - We’re all guilty of it, and why? Because Minecraft has a conveniently placed tutorial that we all conveniently ignore. We all wind up digging around at our feet and wonder why we burn in the pool of lava we drop into. Lava is hot guys!Well, now you know what not to do. The mining is up to you.

Take back the controller.

Take back control.

Canterbury Festival is joining forces with the Wise Words Festival this year to deliver its popular Schools’ Poetry Competition, based on the theme of re-writing the world and open for entries now!Inspired by Michael Rosen’s children’s poem about broccoli coming from the armpits of big green giants, two Kent-based performance poets, Helen Seymour and Neelam Saredia, have prepared primary and secondary school teaching materials based on this exciting theme. We aim to inspire a record number of schools to enter this exciting competition, generously sponsored by Stagecoach South East.Re-writing the world is about reimagining the origin of everyday items such as socks, or

mythical creatures like dragons and mermaids. Children might decide to write about mysterious goings-on - toys or paintings coming to life; or might be inspired by their own origins, other worlds, long-lost islands or alternative realities.Perhaps your son has met the friendly monster that lives in Canterbury Cathedral, or your daughter has seen the Turner Contemporary art works come to life after dark? Direct their teacher to the Canterbury Festival website to download the free teaching pack and your little monster might be in with a chance of winning a cash prize or of having their poem displayed on vinyl on board Stagecoach buses across the South East.The closing date for the competition is 20th July. For more details go to www.canterburyfestival.co.uk or contact Alison on 01227 452853 or [email protected].

The historic Canterbury Cathedral was the venue for a service celebrating 25 years of the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance last night (May 27th).More than 800 guests including supporters, volunteers, former patients, crew, staff, trustees and dignitaries gathered at the cathedral for a special service to celebrate the charity’s Silver Jubilee.The air ambulance has helped thousands of people and saved many lives after attending more than 25,000 call-outs over the last quarter of a century since the helicopter was first launched at Rochester Airport.Former patient Michael Lutener who was airlifted following a farming accident and Peter Parvin whose young son was also airlifted spoke

about their experiences of the air ambulance. Dr Richard Lyons received enthusiastic applause when he talked about his work as a doctor on the air ambulance and shared a patient story.Among the guests were the founder and Chief Executive from 1990-2003, Kate Chivers. Kate said: “We owe thanks to those who have supported us and all who have served with the air ambulance over the past 25 years.The current Chairman, Tony Monteuuis who read the first lesson said: “This service appreciates and remembers the wonderful people who have given so much and enabled us to develop our operations, as well as those patients who have had the good fortune to benefit from your generosity.The hour-long service was kindly sponsored by Fidelity Worldwide Investment and finished with a blessing from the Bishop of Dover.

Employment Tips Finding a Summer Job.

If you are still looking for a Summer job the following tips might help you beat off the competition:You may be asked to complete an application (or leave details) showing your skills and academic achievements. Many students find this difficult if they have never worked before. To help think about activities you have experienced as a student such as school projects, athletics or voluntary work and write down what you did. The sort of things employers like to see are:Ability to work as part of a team, being organised, A good time- keeper, Good communication skills. You need to be able to describe situations that show you have these skills.Practice a short introductory statement that explains to potential employers why you want the job and what you have to offer. Rehearse in front of the mirroe, or people that you trust, until you feel comfortable saying it.Prepare your interview outfit. This should be smarter than you wear everyday. Avoid

anything extreme in your clothes, hair and accessories - you want them to notice you not your outfit. Practice greating your employer with a firm handshake, friendly smile and eye contact. During the interview sit up straight, be positive abd enthusiastic. This shows the employer you are interested in the job as well as telling them. If you don’t have some of the skills they are asking for be honest but emphasise your willingness to learn and that you are able to learn quickly. Be flexible about the hours you can work, start dates and holiday arrangements. Make sure that you send a Thank you note or email as soon as you can after your interview stressing your appreciation for the meeting and interest in working for them. There is always a lot of competition for summer work so don’t apply for one job at a time, or just use one source to look for work. try lots of options and see what works for you.

How to..........Survive ExamsBy Claire Turner

The stress levels in our house are at an all-time high, it’s GCSE time oh and SATs and end of year exams, not to mention all the other testing that our children go through. Apparently the build up to exams is more stressful for parents than the children. I can relate to that - I don’t know about you but I feel like my parenting skills are being tested too.I have read the parenting books, found out what to do, what not to do, what to say, what not to say. The most common advice was to keep

the lines of communication open and to show an interest.

So I show interest in what my child is revising, I tell you I’m glad I’m not having to sit the exams. I asked my GCSE child what the best thing for me to do to help was,

“Trust me to revise, don’t make life all about the exams, I know how important they are but let me have a social life and play sport.”

Help and support and interest is what they need. That grumpy teenager, who has slammed their door and moaned about all the pressure, doesn’t really want to be left alone. Take them a nice cup of tea and an indulgent bar of chocolate just remind them you are

there for them without having to say anything. Cook them their favourite mean and have plenty of snacks in the house. The hardest advice I have recieved, forget about the rule on tidy bedrooms, :-( it’s not that important honestly!

Difficult as it is we have to believe they will be motivated to study because they will have a desire to achieve. Even in my house there are exam timetables stuck up all over the place and study guides everywhere.....see you on the other side!
