Summer 2019
Buck Press

lthough the term is nearly over, as I look out of my window, I find it difficult to believe we are approaching a time of warmth and sunshine with the holidays soon to be upon us. At around this time last year we were all readying ourselves for the World Cup. It is pleasing to see that this year, it is the Women’s World Cup that is receiving so much attention. As a society we must continually review our attitudes towards stereotyping and work towards achieving a more equal environment. This is one of the aspects we have covered in our PSHEE curriculum this year. Over the term we have had much to report on and I will not do so here, but encourage you instead, to read through the publication. I personally immensely enjoyed my visit to Plas Menai with the Year 6 boys and am looking forward to camping the night out with our Year 3 boys in a few weeks’ time. I cannot lie and must confess that my looks through my window do have some slight connection to this, as the thought of a night in a tent during heavy rain is perhaps more enticing to Year 3 than it is to a head teacher. The weather forecast however, does appear to be on my side. Another highlight for me was the Expressive Arts week this term, not least because it also serves to draw out of the children some areas of talent and contribution that they would not normally volunteer and I see through this, their characters grow. You do not need to be a good singer to sing at your best, and confidence comes from participation and not necessarily from excelling. I would just take this opportunity to thank all parents, teachers, assistants, administrators, pupils, friends and relations for making this academic year another fantastic year at Buckingham Prep. We are what we are because of what we do and how we do it. The BPS community creates the environment in which we all thrive and as a community we must continue this journey. Please enjoy this publication, enjoy your summer break, and I look forward to our new opportunities ahead in September.

Sports Day
What makes BPS such a special place is the way in which the children show not only respect and tolerance for each other’s cultural traditions and faith practices but also a genuine desire to learn about them. Teaching RE to KS2 classes in this school is a genuine privilege as the classroom offers the perfect setting for children to share their beliefs and experiences and explore the questions they ask one another. When we join together to celebrate a festival such as Eid, regardless of our faith, we enter into the true spirit of community and understanding. It was therefore wonderful to hold our Eid breakfast which began with the eating of our dates. We then ate melon, grapes, yoghurts and croissants, chatted with our friends and admired the lovely Eid banners and decorations we had made this week. The hall looked beautiful and colourful with boys wearing their special festival or party clothes, including many in the actual Eid clothes they wore with their families this week when they celebrated at home. I must say a huge thank you to all the staff who helped me organise this event, but most of all I would like to thank the boys themselves – and the girls in Pre-school – who behaved so beautifully and graciously and who could teach the world a thing or two about respect and kindness. Eid Mubarak! Ms Bourne
“The ideals which have guided my way, and time after time have given me the energy to face life, have been kindness, beauty, and truth." A. Einstein, The World as I See It. (1930).
Kindness: noun: the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Throughout the year, Year 2 have considered the meaning of kindness. They have tried really hard to not only remember the meaning, but to apply it to their daily lives and interactions with others. Sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s forgotten and reminders need to be given. At BPS we really value kindness towards each other and many boys have been rewarded with certificates or even the award of the Kindness Cup in recognition for selfless acts of kindness, however small. For their final class assembly of the year, Year 2 told the story of comedian Danny Wallace who found himself one day to be bored. To alleviate his boredom he put an advert in a newspaper, asking for people to join him (although he didn’t know what for!). From this strange beginning came the idea of ‘random acts of kindness’ – the idea of doing something kind to a stranger. Year 2 told this story using fabulous clear voices and made us all think about what we could do to be kind to someone. Perhaps a door could be held open, something dropped picked up, a pencil shared or just a simple smile. All kind acts that can make a difference. Their performance of the song ‘Kindness’ by Nemo Patel really touched us. They made us think about how, long after we have gone, kindness is all we leave behind.

Jessica Mason Visual Artist
Pranay, Year 5
Anuran, Year 5
The summer term began with great aplomb for Years 1, 4 and 5. Miss Raduca invited visual artist Jessica Mason to spend a day in the art room making and talking all things ceramics. Jessica Mason is a contemporary British artist who has developed an art practice that sits at the border between ceramics and sculpture. Her work touches on issues around material culture. Jessica uses metal, ceramics and textiles. The materials imply traditional methods of making such as wheel-throwing, casting or hand spinning. Year 1 had the opportunity to watch a demonstration of the latter and to observe how wool gets turned into a thin thread through gentle movements of the hand. Jessica talked to Year 1 about the history of the craft and the importance of passing on these skills. Year 4 were encouraged to play with texture and mark making. They made a functional object inspired by one of Jessica Mason’s projects. She developed the concept while on an artist residency in Spain. The boys’ making efforts resulted in beautiful explorations of organic marine forms. We will not say much about the Year 5 project. You will be able to have a good look at the work during Expressive Arts Week but we do want to mention that their project has an interesting conceptual twist. We are grateful to have had Jessica in our art room. We loved watching her share her passion and knowledge in such a graceful manner. We wish her all the best in her creative adventures and we promise to keep an eye out on her work for future inspiration. You should too! https://www.jessica-mason.com/ https://www.jessica-mason.com/instagram
EXPR ESSIVE ARTS WEEK This year we embraced a theme of ‘Wheels and Technology’. Children enthusiastically returned their entry forms and started getting creative with their entries. We were very impressed with all the stories, poems, photographs and computer art entries that we received and judging was once again a difficult job. Miss Raduca has once again encouraged artwork of a very high standard from each child and the displays are very well worth viewing. The staged events began on Tuesday 11th June with the Poetry Finals, and everyone performed very well. Singing finals included some of our youngest community members from Pre-School. It was a delight to hear the children performing the songs that they love, and such a range too, from Nursery Rhymes to Pink Floyd! Pre-School joined together to sing a group song which was very well received. Dance Finals saw the boys performing some fantastic moves to a range of music and styles from around the world. Pre-School also performed together. Duet and Group Finals were very entertaining with a diverse range of performances plus instrumental and vocal contributions. We were all impressed with the confidence of all our children as they stood in front of the school, from our youngest Pre-Schoolers to Year 6, and how this confidence grows as they reach the top of the school. Well done everyone for your participation, performance, hard work and support of this popular annual event.
Filip, Year 1
EAW Ar t P roje ct s This year’s Expressive Arts Week art projects covered a wide range of media and technologies. The theme, ‘Wheels and Technology’, was approached from different angles. Miss Raduca tried to encourage the boys to innovate as well as exploring more traditional concepts. Reception ventured into making a simple mechanism using a pivot to help them paint perfect circles. In the making of this work they used acrylic paint, tempera and egg emulsion. The boys discovered how paint technology has evolved over the years, from painting with organic pigments and egg emulsion to industrial paint. The work was inspired by the colour wheel; therefore, the final project explores the relationship between primary and secondary colours. Each coloured wheel has been painted using shades of secondary colours and has been placed on a background painted in a primary colour. If you are not sure how primary and secondary colours complement each other then have a good look at this project. Just remember, the complementary pairs sit across from each other on the colour wheel!
Shivesh, Year 3
Raaghav, Year 4
The Year 3 project is based on layering modern and unconventional materials. They all produced visual elements that had gears as a starting point. Here’s a breakdown of all the layers: Layer 1 has been created with acrylic paint and masking tape. Layer 2 contains the gears and has been made by drawing with a permanent marker on plastic sheets. Layer 3 has been drawn on coloured film. Layer 5 has been made by cutting out a stencil using a hobby knife. The stencil has then been placed on the work and sprayed over with spray paint.
Mylan, Year 4 The boys in Year 4 looked at Futurism and at some of the ideas the Futurists were promoting in the 20th century and of course, what they envisioned their future to look like. Having concepts such as dynamics, industrial, movement, cities and urban as a starting point, Year 4 manipulated existing images of buildings using image editing software. They then used the material to produce original compositions using acrylic paint and image transfer techniques.
Devyaan, Reception
Year 1 were introduced to their project with a special visit from visual artist Jessica Mason. She brought in her spinning wheel and told them about traditional textiles technologies. It was wonderful to see where wool and cotton come from. The boys also discovered how wool turns into a textile product. They learnt the round weaving technique and made the most beautiful round decorative woven panels. Some of the boys have been recording how many hours they have spent weaving, how many knots they have made and how much coloured wool they have used. Try to guess! Year 2 looked at the BMW Art Car project and found inspiration in the amazing art cars famous artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Alexander Calder and Olafur Eliasson have designed since the project began back in 1975. The boys in Year 2 designed prototypes of cars using plaster and laminated paper. Take a close look at how the main structure has been joined.
Jay, Year 1 The Year 5 project is titled ‘From Object to Public Sculpture’. They produced beautiful ceramic pieces with Jessica Mason’s help and tried to imagine them become part of the public realm. With the help of an image editing software, they rendered the object into a public space of their choice. The project challenged us to find a kiln to fire our work, therefore we now have strong links with a pottery studio in our community. More ceramics projects to come! Year 6 have worked in teams to animate Mrs Armitage on Wheels by Quentin Blake. They used plasticine to bring the characters to life and of course, we need to mention Mrs Armitage’s well-equipped bike. Stay tuned for the final, final, final export! WHEEL-AWAY everyone!

Wall Street Journal
Jessica Donati https://journalist.wsj.com/jessica-donati-foreign-correspondent/
Year 5 received an insight into the world of war-reporting and political journalism when Jessica Donati, the Wall Street Journal analyst for the US State Department and Foreign Affairs, visited the school. Jessica, currently based in Washington DC, originally joined the paper as chief of their bureau in Afghanistan in 2015 where, for three years, she reported on the ongoing war and humanitarian crises there. Prior to this, she operated as part of a team of journalists for Reuters in Libya whose work was chosen as a finalist in the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 2012. Jessica began her session by asking the boys where they think our news comes from, how it is gathered and where in the world are there armed conflicts. The boys proved themselves to be well-informed and they revealed an impressive level of knowledge of world affairs. Jessica gave them a brief outline of her work in Afghanistan and opened the floor up to questions and comments. Boys’ questions included: how do foreign reporters prepare to live and work in a country where the culture and traditions may be unfamiliar to them; is there any special training that war-reporters receive to prepare for danger; how does your editor help you in an emergency?
Jessica admitted to the boys that she finds the journalistic rule of writing in the active voice difficult to follow. Her editor often tells her off for submitting reports in the passive voice which she then has to change, often within a very tight time-frame! To prove her point, Jessica challenged the boys to orally compose what appeared to be, at first, a simple war headline in the active voice. There followed an interesting debate that would not have been out of place in an undergraduate linguistic seminar…until, finally, the boys discovered what the difficulties would be if the CAUSE of the event was unknown! Jessica also gave the boys an insight into travelling as part of the Washington press entourage on Airforce 2 as they follow Mike Pompeo, the US Secretary of State, around the world to cover US foreign policy stories in countries such as North Korea, Japan and Poland. Boys gave thoughtful and mature answers to her questions regarding what team-skills should one possess to be a successful journalist since so much of the job is about meeting and talking to people. At the end of the session I revealed that Jessica is actually my ‘baby’ sister and that I am very proud of all she has achieved. Jessica then admitted how nervous she felt before talking to the boys. She told them they were ‘awesome’ (her words) and they would make fine journalists one day. Later that evening we spoke, and she told me how struck she was by their knowledge and intelligence, and by the maturity they showed when discussing some of the issues we touched upon. She asked me to thank the boys on her behalf for giving her such an uplifting experience. Ms Bourne

in!” pa For the third year in a row, Year 4 travelled through the Hertfordshire countryside to the idyllic setting of Hudnall Park for three days and two nights of outdoor learning and daring challenges. Having loaded one minibus with enough luggage to sink the Titanic, Mrs Rastrick, Ms Bourne and 14 adventurous boys set off in the other minibus and tried, but failed, to ignore the fact that it was definitely raining heavily… Rain was a constant feature of our residential trip but it didn’t dampen our spirits! Being well-prepared with wellingtons and waterproof coats and trousers meant we could still do all our activities such as our investigation of the River Gade, den-building in the woods (no need for Mrs Rastrick’s watering can test this year!) and orienteering to name but a few. However, it was the zip wire that boys were looking forward to most – or in some cases not – and as we made our way up through the mist of rain covering the hills we finally came upon the place where we were to launch ourselves into space!
When we saw how high the zip wire line was, and how far down the hill it ran, we couldn’t believe it – this was going to be a thrilling ride! Mrs Rastrick was desperate to go first, nearly pushing boys out of her way in her eagerness to demonstrate her fearlessness and aerodynamic grace as she attached the safety harness around her and took off down the hill. Each boy then waited for their own go with a mixture of trepidation and excitement. It was lovely to hear the boys encourage and congratulate each other before and after going on the zip line, and it is in moments like this that the real benefit of a residential trip reveals itself. Confidence, pride and self-responsibility are qualities that cannot be measured on a scale nor do they develop in children at a linear rate. Instead, they are fostered through experiences, over time. Spending time away from home and the classroom in a setting like Hudnall Park allows children to explore, push and expand their comfort zones. Ask the boys what their greatest achievement of the trip was and most of them would reply ‘the zip line of course!’. However, as parents and teachers, we know that’s only part of the story…

This term Reception have been learning about bodies and staying healthy. As a class they have come up with many different ways they can do this. They were exceptionally interested in the Lion in 'Hey Duggee' who didn't know how to brush his teeth! So, collectively as a class, they came up with some instructions on what to do when brushing your teeth so that they could share these with him. In Art they used Paint to design emojis that encourage children to brush their teeth! For these digital illustrations they used five different tools: line, circle, curved line, paint bucket and even the text box! Take a look at some of their work and see if you're brushing your teeth properly.

In keeping with our 'Traditional Tales' topic the children have spent a week this term learning all about the story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears.' They have been busy ordering bears by size, writing letters to Baby Bear from Goldilocks, inviting their teddies into Pre-School for a special porridge party and re-enacting the story through role-play. They also learned all about different species of bears and created their own bear posters on the computer.

Summer Fair Spectacular The sun was shining for us on Thursday 6th June as the whole school enjoyed all the fun of the Summer Fair outside in the playground. With stalls organised by every form tutor, there was certainly plenty to do. Miss Fry’s toy tombola proved to be the most popular activity of the afternoon. The toys donated for this stall made it an especially exciting stall. Our catering team once again provided a superb service selling ice lollies, crisps, drinks and Tracy’s delicious homemade tray bakes. Our budding footballers put Mr Cocomazzi’s goalkeeping skills to the test as they fired footballs at him at a furious rate. Lots of skills were put to the test on the day with hoop throwing, aiming and bouncing ping pong balls and aiming wet sponges to make Mr Evans well and truly soaked. It was also a fantastic learning experience for the children too, with mental skills and money handling, physical and sensory skills and more than a little guesswork involved. It was good to see so many parents join us for the fair and of course, thanks to you all for your continued support for the school. Thank you also to the parents who volunteered to help on day. We raised over £900 in the afternoon and this will be well spent on an outdoor learning shed for the main playground, some IT equipment and books for the library.

Despite the overcast weather conditions, the Infant Sports Day was greatly enjoyed by boys, parents and staff. The new format, incorporating different events than in previous years was very successful. The boys in Reception, Years 1 and 2 had their inaugural experience of hurdling as one of the track events and this seemed to be popular. Boys who won an event went home with a rosette and everyone will receive a bronze, silver or gold medal at the sports assembly later in the term, reflecting their performance in all of the events. Ideally, these medals would have been presented on the day but the rain was beginning to fall and so the plans changed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the boys for participating with great sportsmanship, the parents for supporting (and participating where possible) as always, and to the staff for officiating the events.
DAY
For the Junior Sports Day, each boy in Years 3-6 participated in four events: two track and two field events. As is normal on such occasions, the competition between the houses was as fierce as ever. Each of the boys competed on both an individual and house level, with their performances and resulting scores going towards the house trophy. On the track the 50m, 200m and 400m events were close races, with photo finishes needed in some cases. On the field, the javelin, cricket ball and football throws and long jump were equally as close. The weather gods were on our side, with the predicted showers holding off which made the day all the more enjoyable. On the day, the victorious house was David, with only 0.5 of a point separating 2nd to 4th finishing positions. Omar Adebowale, the house captain of David received the cup on behalf of David to wild applause from the boys. Thank you to all of the staff for officiating the event and thank you parents for once again for supporting the event.

National Maths Quiz Written by Ishaan Shah
On Friday the 10th May, we were raring to go to the National Maths Quiz, hosted by Merchant Taylors Prep. Adrenalin rushed through our veins as we walked into the hall where the quiz was going to take place. There were six schools competing, with 11 teams in total. Team 1 for Buckingham Prep was led by Aadam, and included Trishan, Harshith and Gautham. Team 2 was captained by Ishaan and included Omar, Prem and Diyen. The quizmaster explained that the quiz would have two rounds: mental arithmetic and problem-solving. When the questions came firing out at us, both of our teams responded well, with Team 1 taking the lead. By the end of the 20 questions in that round, Team 1 had answered everything correctly and were in first place, whilst Team 2 were close behind in third place. In round 2, both teams continued with confidence, but got just a couple of questions wrong. This meant a change in team positions. As the quiz went on we battled hard and made sure we stayed as close as possible to the leading team. As the answer to the final question was revealed and the points were added to the scoreboard, we were all overjoyed to see that both Team 1 and 2 had performed brilliantly and had achieved 2nd and 3rd place overall. What a result! This was an experience that we will never forget.
