Headlines

Last Friday, we raised a total of £4,608 for Children in Need. Thank you all for your contributions which will make a big difference to supporting vital projects which change the lives of children and young people all over the UK.

As we approach the Christmas holidays, I wanted to remind everyone about our responsibilities to ensure that we remain safe and secure from Covid-19. It may be that some of you are considering travelling during this period. If so, please make sure you check quarantine rules to avoid any issues of not being able to return in January. We have key examinations for Sixth Form students and it is imperative that they keep safe and Covid-19 free to sit these examinations.

On Tuesday after school we held our first virtual Parent Teacher consultation evening. This used new software that facilitated booking and live connections between school and home. I would like to thank Ms Pitsillis for organising the implementation of the new software and the Sixth Form team and staff for switching over to this mode of delivery.

On Thursday evening, FO$S hosted a live parents forum where a number of parents were able to ask questions to senior staff. This was very successful and is something that we will repeat in the Spring term. Thank you to the FO$S committee for organising. If you would like to offer help to the school and join the committee, we would be very grateful for your support. Simply contact the school and we can liaise with them.

There will be no Sandprint next week due to learning review meetings starting on Wednesday after school through to Thursday lunchtime. Friday is our annual Occasional Day which will give everyone an opportunity to re-charge before the final weeks running up to Christmas. Enjoy the extended weekend when it arrives.

Best wishes, Alan Gray

A huge congratulations to Fraser McK in 8T, who was offered a place in the Under14 Herts County Badminton Squad at the end of last month.  Unfortunately he can’t start training until after this lockdown is over, but in between the two lockdowns they managed to run the trials and he was successful in gaining a place in the squad. Well done Fraser, we look forward to hearing more about your success once you can play again.

If you would like your child featured in the Student Spotlight, please send a brief note with any photographs to melissa.holian@sandringham.herts.sch.uk

CHARACTER OF THE WEEK: AMELIA EARHART

S6 in the Sixth Form area, is named after Amelia Earhart whom we believe showed unfaltering determination in her can-do attitude for equal treatment of women. 

Earhart was born in Kansas on the 24th July 1897 and after taking her first plane ride aged just 23, she went on to gain her pilot's license shortly afterwards becoming only the sixteenth woman at the time to do so.

Whilst working as a social worker in 1928, she received an invitation to be the first woman to fly across the Atlantic as a passenger and in 1932, despite powerful winds battering her tiny plane, she became the first woman to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic.

Earhart was the first women to gain the Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross. And at the height of her career, she also gave speeches, wrote articles, provided career counselling and even set up an affordable fashion line at Macy’s and Marshall Field’s.

In 1937, Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan took off from Oakland, California on the first leg of their historic round-the-world flight. They disappeared 43 days later.

Whilst her final hours may be a mystery, the legacy that Earhart left through her actions was one that cleared a path for women around the world to reject constrictive social norms and to pursue their dreams, especially in the field of aviation.

"There's more to life than being a passenger."

SANDVENT 2020

Join Mr Cracknell and Mr Smith as they embark on 24 days of advent activity this December. What better way to see out the end of lockdown 2.0, by joining them in getting active, every day in December? Their interactive advent calendar will encourage a running or walking challenge each day that you can join in with individually or as a family. They hope to raise money for FareShare, the charity supported by Marcus Rashford MBE in his campaign for free school meals. More details in next week’s edition of Sandprint, so dust off those training shoes ready for the 1st December.

SUSTAINABILITY NEWS

We are very excited about our first day of tree planting on Monday! Tutor groups 7A, 7E, 7N, 7T will be planting trees in their geography lesson. A letter has been sent to Year 7 parents and students have received an assembly this week.

Trees are really important!  Here are some facts …

  • UK forests currently cover 12% of our land area. This is very low compared to some of our European neighbours. For example, France and Germany have forest cover of 29% and 32% respectively. Of Europe’s total land area, forest cover makes up 47%. 
  • Trees are able to remove excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from our atmosphere and offer a significant contribution to reducing the impact of climate change.
  • Trees are effective air filters. Some species, such as the London plane, are particularly resistant to air pollution and can help filter harmful pollutants by trapping them on their leaves and bark. 
  • Trees provide crucial habitat for much of the UK’s wildlife. Whether it’s for birds nesting in their canopies, small mammals making their homes in the root systems, or bats roosting in their trunks, trees are a vital part of our ecosystem.
  • Trees provide wonderful benefits for both humans and the natural environment. Trees are the lungs of our cities. They’re the homes for our wildlife. They’re our guardians against flooding. Trees are vital to so many aspects of our life.

We hope that Sandringham can play a part in ensuring that the UK increases tree coverage, increasing the biodiversity on the school site and can play a part in combatting climate change!

D&T NEWS

One of our 6th form students, Leo M, has been busy producing a portfolio for his upcoming Architecture interviews. As part of this process, he has been asked to design a model for an environmentally friendly home. Leo said he was inspired by the shipping containers which are used every day and thought why not use the shape and structure as a basis for his ideas? The finished model shows some real skill and creativity which hopefully, will earn Leo a place at one of his first-choice destinations. Well done Leo - we think it looks amazing.

THEME WEEK: DIWALI

Our theme this week is Diwili- the Hindu, Sikh and Jain Festival of Lights (14th November 2020). This religious celebration, which for some also coincides with harvest and New Year celebrations, is a festival of new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil, or light over darkness. A fantastic student-led assembly educated us on the importance of Diwali for over a billion people worldwide. Students reflected on how they can ensure good triumphs over evil in their lives by exuding positivity, helping others and being tolerant of the cultures of others. It is excellent that some students have been able to share their faith with their classmates and therefore increase understanding of the diversity in our school community.

VISUAL ARTS NEWS

We are delighted to release our virtual exhibition video “Rewilding the World” which is a collation of some of the work produced this year as part of our annual drawing week. Over 400 students took part in this event and took time to upload their wonderful work onto our Google Classroom. Pictures included in this article are a stunning eagle by Yukta C , a mesmerising ocean picture by Laila B-P,  a relaxed-looking sloth by Emma T, and a cuddly Koala by Hywel J.

I would like to thank our wonderful Visual Arts team who spent a considerable amount of their time viewing and responding to all of the work created. We will be announcing our prize winners next week but first we wanted to share with you a celebration of some of the pieces created. I would like to thank our amazing Visual Arts technician Suzy Leto for creating this absolutely stunning virtual exhibition. Inspired by the life and work of David Attenborough, we hope the exhibition will also educate a wider audience about the importance of restoring biodiversity to protect our planet. Through creativity, we hope to have reflected the hopes of our young people, the key changes that need to be made and our shared responsibility to protect our planet.

Rewilding the World Exhibition

Thank you for taking the time to view our virtual exhibition. We do hope you enjoy it.

STEM NEWS

STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - is celebrated, encouraged and explored at Sandringham with a range of opportunities.

Physics students in Year 13 have this week been thinking about the SpaceX ‘taxi service’ that safely transported four astronauts to the International Space Station for its client NASA. This kind of outsourcing to the private sector will - NASA hopes - help save money for its bigger goal of getting people to the moon again. Chloe L and Khalid A did fantastic proofs on the whiteboard to show the students a mathematical description of satellite orbits.

Science Club continues, and last week the Year 7 students carried out lamb heart dissections. Well done to Lee C, Max D, Emilka H, Melissa L, Isabelle P and many others for conducting themselves like surgeons! As you can see from the pictures they certainly enjoyed the session.

In other STEM news, it has now been confirmed that Sandringham School is to take part in a national event called the Faraday Challenge. This will be a one-day engineering competition for up to 36 Year 8 students on 20th April. It will be difficult for us to select just 36 deserving students, but if anyone would like to get in touch to express interest early we will make a note.

Another appeal to parents: If you have any contacts in science, industry or government whose work is related to biodiversity or STEM, and who might be willing to give a talk to students, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Mr D. Tattersall, STEM coordinator, on tattersalld@mysandstorm.org

Saturday 12th December – Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella – 7pm

Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella is a thrilling and evocative love story set in London during the Second World War.  The internationally acclaimed choreographer’s interpretation of the classic fairy tale has, at its heart, a true war-time romance.  A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together for just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.  Matthew Bourne’s vivid story telling has never been more heart-stopping and touching and will take the audience into the heart of Prokofiev’s magnificent score. Tickets £13.50/£10
