Issue 7 | 2nd March 2018
Dear Parents,
It has been a dramatic week on the weather front and I fervently hope for some signs of Spring before
the end of term.
Rats!
They fought the dogs and killed the cats,
And bit the babies in the cradles,
And ate the cheeses out of the vats,
And licked the soup from the cook’s own ladles.
This was not quite what happened when Freddie gave his highly
informative presentation on rats in assembly, but I confess to
have been somewhat perturbed by the sight of two rats scampering around in the foyer!
There is never a dull moment at Milbourne and the breadth and depth of the experiences on offer
here still surprise me.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the Future Schools event this evening.

UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge 2018
Once again pupils in Years 6 to 8 took part in the UKMT Intermediate
Maths Challenge, which is a national competition designed for pupils in
Years 9 -11. The questions are all really tricky multiple choice questions,
but marks are deducted for wrong answers! Some questions from this
year are listed below.
The best in the country are selected to take part in the follow-on round
which will take place on Thursday 15th March. The Grey Kangaroo is designed for those scoring over
68 marks (this year) and the Cayley Olympiad for the best 500 in Year 9 and below (scoring over 93
marks). Henry comfortably earned his place in the Olympiad with a score of 109. Well done to
everyone concerned, to get a certificate when you are still officially too young to enter is a huge
achievement. Certificates will be handed out in assembly once they have arrived.

month. All Prep pupils have contributed towards this achievement and ten pupils
will represent our school in the final. Mrs Bawden
House Pancake Races 2018
The whole school took part in our inaugural House Pancake Races on the last day of the half-term.
Chefs Salvador and Andy whipped up a batch of pretty indestructible pancakes, which were used in
the relay races and ultimate flip off contest. The local residents must have wondered what on earth
was going on as the children enthusiastically cheered on their houses. A great time was had by all!
The best Top Year flippers from each House took part in a head to head one minute flip as many as
you can pancakes, narrowly won by Ashwin Vishwanath from Amber House. However , when all the
races were also taken into account Blue House emerged victorious. Special mention must go to Tom
Twydell from Blue House who Mr Angus determined had the best technique overall.

Spelling Bee Finals – 28th February
Our annual Spelling Bee final took place on Wednesday 28th February, with representatives from each
Form taking their place in the finals. It was a hotly contested competition with Mr Angus calling the
words to be spelt. All the finalists were asked to write the word on their whiteboard and then sho w
their spelling to the audience. The winners were the ‘last ones standing’ in their age groups.
Congratulations to the winners: S. Bannister, A.Bose and C. Bulmer.
Some of the words that the finalists were asked to spell included: amnesty, cemetery, innocent,
bouquet and mileage. Mrs Ashford

Celebrating World Book Day 2018
Sadly our World Book Day celebrations were spoiled by the snow!
But luckily we have managed to re-schedule them for this week.
Pre-Prep World Book Day is being held today, Wednesday 7th March – Dress
Up day and book swap.
Forms 1 and 2 World Book Dress Up Day will be held tomorrow, Thursday 8th
March.
Thank you for supporting the Book Fair
A huge thank you to everyone who has bought books at
the travelling Book Fair over the past week. Thank you
also to Mrs Jordan, Mrs Hawkins, Mrs Groves and Mrs
Solanki for managing the book fair after school.
Mrs Slocombe
Child Bereavement UK Assembly
On 6th February Ruth Sanger from Child Bereavement UK
came to talk to children about the charity. Her presentation
was very gentle, age appropriate and informative. We were
all very impressed and proud of the children for asking
sensible and mature questions about the charity. We also
took the opportunity to present a cheque raised by Blue
House from the Christmas Jumpers and at the Carol
Concert. Mrs Slocombe
Form 1 enjoy the Jungle Book
Forms 1S, 1R, 2S and 2H went to Richmond Theatre on 7th
February to see the musical ‘The Jungle Book’. The
performance was able to bring the classic story to life. The
children were on the
edge of their seat throughout the performance.

Le Café de Paris at Milbourne
Spoiled by our own French cook “du jour”, Amal, who prepared with his team a menu worthy of Louis
XIV’s banquet, Milbourne Lodge children were transported for a lunch to the Café de Paris!
From their seats they could admire the view of the Eiffel Tower while enjoying scrumptious authentic
French food: from tender beef bourguignon and confit duck salad to fennel and blue cheese tarte
tatin or garlicy snails for the more daring, they couldn’t believe their eyes.
But all the children agreed that the show stopper was the puddings buffet named after the famous
Parisian pâtisserie “La Pâtisserie des Rêves”. Tables crumbled under strawberry mille-feuilles gâteaux,
tartes au citron, profiteroles and even chocolate éclairs.
One word or maybe two….: MERCI and ENCORE! Madame Claude

Form 4 visit the Emirates Aviation Experience in London
Form 4 enjoyed an excellent day out in London yesterday to visit the Emirates Aviation Experience in
North Greenwich. We made our way there via the train and tube, with the pupils keen to emulate the
other commuters on the train and tube by reading the newspapers. The children had an opportunity
to explore the centre, take part in a workshop on sustainability in the travel and tourism industry,
learnt how jet engines work, got to experience the safety demonstration on a plane, learnt how
baggage moves around a big airport and learn more about the smells encountered in Duba i by the
passengers and aircrew at the airport. Oh, and they also got to fly a plane! Whilst some have their
heart set on a future career as a pilot there were quite a few that I would never want to get in a plane
with as they did find landing smoothly quite challenging – luckily it was just a simulator and no real
buildings were demolished! We made our way back to Waterloo via the river bus, on which Abhay
sketched the sights we passed on a spare napkin! All in all a great experience for the pupils, and who
knows, maybe one day they will be your pilot as you travel around the world!
Mrs Dicker
Celebrating Literacy Week in the Pre-Prep
Dear Parents,
The snow added to an already exciting and eventful week in the Pre-Prep. Literacy has been our focus
and the children have thoroughly enjoyed participating in a variety of activities. These ranged from a
Spellathon and Pet Poetry to a journey into Africa with Kwame in the midst of the snow! Whilst we
have done our best to carry on regardless it has been necessary to move some events to this week.
We have postponed World Book Day to Wednesday 7th March and we ask that the children come to
school dressed in their wonderful costumes on this day. The Book Swap will also take place on
Wednesday so please ensure your child brings in a pre-owned book ready to swap.
Prizes for the Literacy Week competitions and challenges will be awarded in our Celebration Assembly
on Friday.
Thank you to Mrs Franklin-Mitchell for organising an action packed week, full of challenges and
opportunities for the children to develop and deepen their appreciation for literacy. We look forward
to concluding our Literacy focus this week with our Book Swap and World Book Day celebrations.
I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable weekend in the snow.
Best wishes,
Mrs Elmer
Head of Pre-Prep
African Storytelling and Drumming
The snow did not prevent Kwame from African Activities, sharing his
storytelling expertise with all at Milbourne Lodge on Thursday. The children
experienced the rich African culture and were thoroughly entertained, taking
part in African storytelling and drumming workshops. They were able to
experiment with the drums using different beats and rhythms for each animal
in the story. We also took part in a traditional African dance called ‘Waka
Waka’. Kwame fully engaged the children's imagination and gave them an
uplifting day to remember on this somewhat cold and snowy day.
Mrs Franklin-Mitchell
The Beauty of Poetry!
Adjectives, alliteration, similes and metaphors were tripping off the children’s tongues (and the end of
their sharpened pencils) when PP1 and PP2 set about writing their own poems about one of their
favourite topics: animals. All of their work will be sent into a national poetry competition and may
even be shortlisted for publishing by ‘Young Writers‘. All our budding poets put Tennyson and Blake
to shame as they truly excelled at this creative task. We have chosen a few to share with you here.

The Peregrine Falcon By Aaron Patara, PP2W
Speeding through the air, Watching its prey.
Rocketing down to catch its target, With its needle claws.
It flies like a jet, Going back to its nest.
Majestically, the Peregrine Falcon flies, Soaring above the mountains.
Looking down at the world below, Touring over shimmering waters.
Mrs Waas
PP1 visit the Lightbox
As part of Literacy week, on Tuesday, Year 1 enjoyed an exciting trip to The Lightbox in Woking. The
day started with an informative talk about Tudor times in Woking through exploring artefacts from
Woking Palace. It gave the children the opportunity to share their knowledge about Tudor houses and
the differences between rich and poor families whilst deepening their understanding about this
interesting period in history. By far the most exciting part for the children was exploring the fancy
dress rail and its array of Royal cloaks and dresses. The workshop culminated in the children
producing a personal 'coat of arms' badge using shrink wrap, which included 4 of their favourite
things.
The day ended with a story-telling workshop and tour around the sculpture and paintings galleries.
The children were encouraged to observe the artworks and create an imaginative story. Back in the
art room, inspired by the fantastic works of art in the museum, the children developed ideas for their
characters and brought them to life in the form of puppets. The thoughtful creations included robots,
knights, Kings, Queens and slaves.
All in all, the trip was a success and the children thoroughly enjoyed the creative activities . Many
thanks to the parent helpers who attended for your strong support throughout the day.
Mrs Franklin-Mitchell

Rugby
U9 Milbourne Rugby Tournament – Monday 5th March 2018
A total of 9 schools attended the tournament on Monday including: Claremont, St George's Windsor,
Lanesborough, Northcote Lodge, Newland House, Aberdour, Sunningdale, Downsend
The U9A rugby team played Downsend and Sunningdale School in their group games. Milbourne
Lodge were able to set the bar high in their first game of the afternoon against a resilient Sunningdale
School. Through direct running and strength, Milbourne were able to pierce through their defence to
secure a victory.
Milbourne then played Downsend which would become a tough contest. Both sides exchanged great
attacking phases of play throughout the game. However, Downsend became the eventual winners.
Through to the final stages of the tournament. Milbourne then faced St
George's Windsor and Northcote Lodge. After the unfortunate loss in
the group stage, Milbourne were hungry to get back on track. However,
Milbourne were put to the test and were unable to translate their hard
work and effort into a victory.
I give credit to all of the boys, for their resilience and determination
against strong opposition. As games go by, the group continue to
solidify their bond and cohesion. This group of players have great
potential and I look forward to seeing them grow as rugby players.
Furthermore, a congratulations to Theo G for being awarded a medal
for endeavour and Philip A for being awarded the 'man of the
tournament'.
Mr Callum Edwards
U10 Team Report
As we approach two thirds of the way through term, I am delighted to report significant rugby
development throughout this age group. The only negative influence has been that of the weather,
which has seen the cancellation of a number of fixtures.
The A team have played 12 matches in fixtures & festivals, winning 10 of these & drawing one. The
single reverse (10-15) came courtesy of a last minute try against Northcote Lodge and a cursory
glance at their results confirm them to be one of the top teams in the South of England, as indeed are
we.
What is evident with our A's and often commented on by spectators & opponents alike, is that we
play an open, expansive game, with all players demonstrating vision & skill. This will benefit not only
Milbourne Lodge as the team moves up the school but the boys themselves throughout their
hopefully long participation in the game.
A very welcome consequence of the success of the A team has been the galvanising effect it has had
on the other teams. The B team have improved dramatically in the last few weeks & this was
illustrated at the recent Aberdour School Festival, where they won all their matches. Ditto the C team,
who demonstrated their progression with a comprehensive victory over Newland House in their last
match. Mr Smalley
U11C v Northcote Lodge
This was a very close game which, due to the boys improved passing skills we managed to win 8 - 7.
There were a number of stand-out performances from; T Brocklebank, H Tan and J Le-Men (2 tries
each), F Groves and a guest try. The team was ably captained by T Ewen, who made some very
intelligent passes to get the ball away from our try line. The highlight moment was when H Tan ran
and scored a great try, only for it not to be given, as he had managed to score on the pitch opposite!
The area the boys need to work on is tackling as there were a number of wayward tackles. Overall a
good performance well done! Mr Drummond
U9A/B Rugby Festival at Aberdour
The U9's competed in a Rugby festival at Aberdour last week and played 6 matches against other
schools. The boys played very well against some tough opposition and in extremely cold weather. By
the end of the festival we had won 1, lost 1 and drawn 3. There were some great performances
particularly from A Durbar who was the main scorer of our tries and B Duke who also ran in 3 tries in
our last game. J McNally and O Scott Holland made a number of great tackles throughout the festival.
The boys should be very pleased with their efforts and the way that they conducted themselves on the
games field. Mr Drummond
Hockey
Juniors v Chinthurst
Congratulations to the Junior girls who played Chinthurst ultimately winning 1-0. The temperature was
freezing but the girls simply pulled up their socks and ran on to the pitch with the usual Milbourne
spirit. The girls were keen to keep the ball down Milbourne's attacking end of the pitch whilst Anna
Wang defended admirably. Well done to all the girls who gave 100% effort to their match and to Anna
Wang who was awarded Girl of the Game. Miss Slatter
Juniors v St Andrew’s
Milbourne Juniors looked to continue their undefeated start to the hockey season against a strong St
Andrew’s side. Both teams were quick off the marks, looking to take an early lead. Anna Wang and
Eloise Newman both made some crucial tackles and kept the St Andrew’s attack at bay. Whilst Evie
Ensor and Elsie Anderson worked tirelessly in attack, with Evie coming close twice within the first few
minutes of the game. St Andrew’s were first to find the back of the net, thanks to a quick counter
attack, taking a 1-0 lead into half-time. However, the Milbourne girls were not going to allow their
undefeated record to slip away so easily and a change of tactics saw Anna and Lilian Ye take on more
commanding roles in midfield, putting the St Andrew’s defence under immediate pressur e. After her
earlier near misses Evie was not going to let another opportunity pass her by and battled to gain
possession and pulling the scores back level. After much debate and discussion Evie was awarded girl
of the game for her determination in front of goal.
Miss Watson
Middles and Seniors v St Andrew’s
Both the middle and senior girls ventured to St Andrew’s, braving the cold to face some tough
opposition. The senior girls were up first, with both teams getting early shots on target. Olivia Marshall
put in some early saves to keep the St Andrew’s attack at bay. However, a driving run down the wing
by St Andrew’s caught the Milbourne defence out and St Andrew’s took a 1-0 lead into half time.
Milbourne did not let their heads drop with Lucie Jordan linking up with Helena Ingram and Jeong Lee
in midfield to play Ellie Bennett into space, who brought the scores back level. Rosie Walker and Sonja
Thurow made several crucial tackles and showed excellent composure in defence. Milbourne
continued to look for the win, pressing forward and placing the St Andrew’s defence under pressure.
Unfortunately, a quick counter attack saw St Andrew’s score and take the match. Sonja Thurow was
awarded girl of the game and was praised on her skill set by the St Andrew’s coaches.
Next up came the middles and another end-to-end game. Both teams showed confidence on the ball
with Hattie Sabben-Clare and Ella McKinnon making strong runs in midfield. Sophia Austin-Foss and
Rebecca Turnock worked hard in defence to keep the St Andrew’s attack at bay. Esme Jordan proved
herself invaluable in goal making several goal line clearances throughout the match. St Andrew’s took
the lead into half time and were able to carry this lead onto full time. Milbourne were commended, by
the opposition, for their attitude and work rate and girl of the game was awarded to Esme for her
excellent goalkeeping. Miss Watson
Middles and Seniors v Chinthurst
The Middle and Senior girls had the pleasure of playing on home turf, and both rose to the occasion
to claim victories against Chinthurst. The Middle girls were up first and quickly adapted to the
challenges of playing on grass. Hattie Sabben-Clare took on the role of play-maker, controlling the
game from the centre of midfield to create a number of attacking opportunities. It didn’t take long for
Milbourne to find the back of the net with Scarlett Sleeman pouncing on an early ball into the D and
rounding the goalkeeper. Scarlett proved to be deadly in front of goal, adding further to her tally
throughout the match. Jaya Mittal came close to scoring twice, only to be denied by the post. Jaya
showed excellent perseverance and ran onto a cross from Ella McKinnon and find the bottom left
corner to score her first goal of the season. Hattie, Zara Latif and Alexandra Smith all scored to secure
a deserved win for Milbourne, with Hattie picking up girl of the game.
Miss Watson
Spurred on by the success of the Middles, the Seniors were quick out of the blocks and placed the
Chinthurst defence under immediate pressure. Rosie Walker again proved to be lethal with her strong
runs from defence down the wings to play several crosses into the D, which Ellie Bennett was able to
capitalise on to add two more to her tally for the season. Lucie Jordan and Amel Khan displayed great
confidence, rounding defenders to score. Rebecca Turnock, Zara Latif, Alexandra Smith and Sophie
Austin-Foss all made their debut appearance for the Senior girls, with Rebecca and Alexandra both
showing composure in front of goal to find their way onto the scoresheet. Sonja Thurow was awarded
girl of the game for her darting runs down the wings.
