Noticeboard The Power of Words This week I wanted to share with you a mind map which shows the power of words and the impact
they can have on our internal dialogue. Our words are the paint with which we paint our reality. It is important that we choose those words wisely and positively to create a reality that is good for us.
Thank you very much for your support. Ms Florea

News Year 8 Book Buying Trip—Daunt Books Last Thursday, instead of the usual English lesson, Mrs Carvalho and the English teachers took Year 8 on a book buying trip to Daunt Books Marylebone. Daunt Books, with its beautiful glass atrium and spread over three floors, is often listed as one of the world’s most beautiful bookshops. It is a lovely experience to browse the shelves and immerse yourself in nice stories and most importantly makes you want to read! We took our World Book Day tokens to spend and got a discount off our purchases. Students treated themselves to classics, books on cars , a Rick Riordan title (always a favourite at PPS) and some on comedy. We will definitely go back for another book
buying trip soon. World Book Day tokens are still available from the library. Do drop by if you missed out, they are valid until the end of the month.

Book review of World Book Day ‘Boy, Missing’
News
Students in Years 8 –10 received copies of the book Boy, Missing on World Book Day. Jude in Year 9 reviews the book below:
Sophie McKenzie is an author based in North London. Her book ‘Boy, Missing’ is a new favourite for me, I’m eleven chapters in and I can’t stop reading it! Ellen and her family set off on a trip and arrive at their holiday home. They
are joined there by their family; Auntie Mo, cousin Harlan, Charlie (her younger cousin), her Mum, Dad and dog Boomer. Harlan has been very miserable and is ignoring Ellen. She wants to know why, they have been best friends since they were kids. They usually tell each other everything, if they are upset or even who their crush is! They end up arguing and it turns out that Ellen told Harlan’s crush Jared that he likes him. Harlan jumps up and storms off. Two long hours go by and he still hasn’t returned. Ellen decides to try and find him for herself. She comes across the words ‘Danger, Keep out’ and the story gets more addictive from here on.

Hybrid School Y8/9 have been doing creative writing masterclasses with me. Here are some examples of their fantastic responses describing a forest. Ms Baig
Annabelle The leaves dance from branch to ground, each a colourful flag without strings or pole, free to roam. The many hues
of soil are blanketed by the leaves. Acorns are strewn across the floor of the deciduous forest inviting an earthy smell. A river races across the dell in a marathon, underneath the ancient arching bridge. The breath of Autumn rustles through the plantation sending a shiver down the river. Trees with primitive coffee brown boughs reach ever -upward in all weathers.
News Sonny Brendon The colourful autumnal leaves slowly floated down on the
soft, slightly damp ground beneath it. Petrichor drifted through the air, accompanying the sound of the subtly flowing river. The low-hanging willow trees kissed the top of the water. A boat slowly entered the scene, cutting the river perfectly in half as it let its currents drag them underneath the archway of the ancient bridge. Inside the boat, a man gazed, supine, at the perfectly blue sky above him, a wicker picnic basket sitting underneath his seat. His faithful scruffy mongrel lay on a blanket beneath him… bored.
Nicky Javadzadeh The leaves began to turn as summer faded away, leaving just a sliver of its sun and rays to illuminate the pale fall sky. Their healthy green color gave way to a more lemond yellow, which faded to intense oranges and crimson reds as the round progressed. The quiet crunch of dry leaves beneath your soles. As heavens kept watch
with eyes of sunlight, the leaves delicately fell in the river. As it flowed ever-onward, towards its destiny of blessing the ocean, white water, white sky, fog upon the water-strings, clouds kissing the blue sky.
News
Kai En Lim As I walk through the deciduous forest, I could hear the soft gentle trickling river. Making my way towards the riverbank, slowly and steadily, I stumble across the leaves and twigs as they crinkle under my feet. The river glistens like tinsel on a Christmas tree. The water peacefully slides along the forest like a giant snake as it weaves around the forest, seeping smoothly away from obstacles and burbling over tiny pebbles. My eyes glaze up to see leaves float
around its murmuring surface. Clouds dance gracefully in air while trees tower over them silently in the background full of admiration.
Mia Tjarks The environment was wintry. Multitudinous, autumnal leaves decorated in all shades from ochre to amber to Midas-kissed petals. The gentle stream ran through, whilst a bygone bridge whispered a soft lullaby. The
ripples were flowing in all different directions as they accompanied the wind on its trip. The trees lost their pulchritudinous coats over time, still standing tall like stoic skyscrapers. The sooty airspace let its flocculent clouds glide along the sky, not allowing any sun to peak through the nonexistent cracks.
News
Issy Wheaton Leaves fall as autumn is coming to an end; they gently glide across the steady flowing river. Birds and their new -borns dive under the surface to a hunting arena where fish and pond skaters bound around trying to become successful predators. During the summer, the river is bustling with laughter and families creating memories that they will cherish for years to come. But during deciduous months, it is dead with silence.
Sasha Cerna Fragrances of cinnamon, pumpkin, dewy leaves and chestnuts infused the frosty air. A pristine stream soundlessly flowed through the dense, deciduous forest, reflecting a blurry image of the golden woodland. Rain drops pattered on top sending ripples across the crystal surface. Delicately swaying down from the towering trees, the leaves lay on the water and sailed off as calmly as the current took them. Passing under the hollow bridge, the stream bubbled as it flowed over a trail of mossy rocks beneath. Meandering further away, the stream smoothly oozed closer to the bank.

News Maths: Pi Day
Pi Competition—New Record! Portland Place celebrated another successful Pi Day on Thursday 14th March - the day celebrating the famous mathematical and never-ending constant, pi. The year 7s and 8s brought in (circular) pies into lessons and used these to investigate the meaning of pi and the relationship between the circumference and diameter of circles. The celebration culminated in the annual reciting the digits of pi competition in the hall. This year, the current school record by Alex Parker from 2020 was beaten by Henry Hirst in year 7 who recited a whopping 215 digits! What an achievement and testament to the power of memory and what you can do when you put your mind to something. Susan Li managed 150 digits and these are both two remarkable achievements. Do congratulate them!
News Henry Hirst 215 digits Susan Li 150 digits Angelica Morby 12 digits Beckett Jenkinson Chamberlain in year 8 also deserves a mention for reciting 24 digits of pi. In the other year groups, work was also focussed on pi at different levels; either through using a piece of string to check how many diameters needed to get around the circumference or doing work with length of arcs or area of sectors.

Sports report
London Schools Inter-Borough Championships On Tuesday afternoon three of Portland’s best crosscountry runners travelled down to Greenwich University’s
Avery Hill campus for the Year 7 & 8 inter-borough competition. This is a great opportunity for some high-level competition for younger pupils who cannot compete at the English Schools’ U15 age group, where year 9 pupils have the advantage. Humphrey Boland, Spike Culpin and Dexter Culpin all represented Westminster borough in this 3km race. Humphrey was Westminster’s first finish, placing 36th out of around 60 athletes. Not far behind was Spike Culpin in 39th and Dexter in 43rd. This was a race that included year 8 runners, so this was a very creditable performance from our Year 7’s who finished the course in around 12 minutes. Official times will be sent over soon by the race organisers. Congratulations to the three boys in representing their borough. Keep up the running!
Sports report Year 10 House Basketball
This event was held over two Thursday afternoon lessons at the Moberly Centre. The four house teams all played in a round-robin with the final and third-place play-off places being decided on point. The overall standard of basketball was excellent, and this was a truly inclusive event with all players making a significant contribution to their house team.
In the opening round of matches Cavendish defeated Devonshire 8-2 with Lawton Ballbach dominating the court and scoring 4 points. Ryder Nayak claimed Devonshire’s sole basket. In the second match, Wigmore succumbed to Cavendish with Muhammad Javaid using his height to great effect, picking up a couple of baskets. In the second round Cavendish and Langham drew 4-4. Lloyd Day and Sid De Rozario netted one each for the yellows, whilst Edwin Hounkanli and Max Buck were the scorers for the greens. In the other match Wigmore came out on top against Devonshire with a 6-2 win. Baskets came courtesy of Olivier Anne, Gene Allen-Turner and James Eadally. That drew to a close the first day’s play.
Sports report Two weeks later the boys returned to Moberly for the final round and the finals. Cavendish performed superbly in a high-scoring defeat of Wigmore, 14-6. Lawton scored 12 points by himself, with Lloyd also scoring. The accuracy of shooting in this match was terrific. Leo Newberry netted twice for Wigmore, with Olivier getting their third. In the final round-robin match Langham managed a closely fought victory against Devonshire 8-6. Muhammad and Edwin scored twice a-piece for Langham, as did Teddy Faulkner for Devonshire. Jesse Francis-Baum also scored and impressed with his all-round play. This meant that Devonshire and Wigmore met in the third-fourth place play-off and it was a close match, with few points scored. Olivier’s sweet 3-pointer, the only one of the tournament, was enough to give them the win, with Rudy Bigoni scoring the red’s singe basket.
The final was a replay of the 4-4 draw in the earlier stages, between Langham and Cavendish. With some great players in both teams, it was a hard match to predict, but Langham managed to retain possession the best and kept the score ticking along with Edwin and Muhammad looking superb under the basket. They scored twice each, whilst at the other end Devonshire’s points came from Leo, Lloyd and Lawton who added another two to his tally. Late-on, Tom Hallam really turned it on and scored three times in the space of about two and a half minutes to carry Langham to a 14-8 victory and the full 16 points. Lawton Ballbach was the tournament top scorer with 18 points ahead of Ewin Hounkanli and Muhammad Javaid, with 12 each and Olivier Anne with 9. Well done to everyone who played in what was a highly entertaining and skilful display of basketball.
Sports report U14/15 Rugby vs Maida Vale With the rain lashing down and the ground full of mud and water, it was not a game of running rugby but Portland Place’s U14 and 15s were able to put a solid 57-5 win in their lockers. A big squad was taken to the match, which meant a number of swaps were done throughout the game but straight from the start Portland Place made sure that this was going to be a tough day for Maida Vale. Captain of the day, Teddy Faulkner was the main playmaker, not just by putting a number of students like Sonny Shelton and Miles Sellens Flack into gaps but creating a steam train and powering through countless tackles.
It was a good defence in the opening moments that held PPS out from the try line, but this was broken down with offloads and passes from the squad. With Sonny S breaking the line, the resulting ruck
speed saw Felix Osgerby, use his agility to step the final defender and dive in the corner. After setting up the first try, Sonny S was able to capitalise from a Marcus Smithesque kick toward the corner from Teddy. With very little resilience from the defence, Sonny, Miles and Charlie Wilson all chased down the bouncing ball with Sonny grasping it and putting it down over the try line. It was not just the backs getting involved in the tries, and the setting up of tries. With Nils MadelineHill once again showing his progress in the sport, offloading several passes, tackling with force and creating the gate to secure the ball, PPS were on the front foot throughout the first half. A strong and powerful run from Joel Gaya saw Portland go over the gain line and into the 22.
Sports report Another Max Buck power through saw the students get closer to the line and a final pick and drive from Teddy saw him dot the ball down. With the half coming to a close Mr Steward and Mr Maslona were very impressed with how the students were playing but there were still some improvements needed and this was definitely shown at the beginning of the second half. After numerous close contacts with the Maida Vale pack, PPS started to open up the game with Albert Thompson unluckily knocking the ball on as he took a fantastic line to open the defence. This spurred the players on more with Sebastien Daugtiny and Jude Ruzgar-Boudry breaking through, but it was Sonny S who managed to break the line completely and was able to sprint towards the try line and score.
Ethan Smither was fantastic in the fly half position as he started to create more chances alongside Leo Newberry and Sonny Brendon, passing the ball across the line, making strong runs into contact and providing Leo’s favourite, the kick and chase. Leo was next to capitalise on Maida Vales weakening defence. After a battle of power and strength against the opposition’s biggest player, Leo came out on top as he shrugged off defenders and burst through the line before sliding down on the wet and muddy grass to score. It wasn’t a game for the wingers, but Rudy Bigoni finally got the chance to show his speed as he received the ball from Luke Ahrens just inside the PPS half. With a step and a swerve, Rudy was able
to discombobulate the defenders and run the length of the pitch. Charlie who benefitted from not just the tiring defence but also the handling in the gruesome weather, scored the final two tries. The first of his brace came after Maida Vale were pressured backwards towards their own line and a knock on fell straight at Charlie’s feet and he dropped over the line. The second was a classic Charlie of this season, with the Maida Vale players trying to force another try, a looping, wayward pass saw Charlie jump in and snatch the flying ball to run in. It was a fantastic game by the PPS squad who, led by Teddy, saw them dominate the opposition in both attack and defence.
Sports report U15/16 Rugby vs North Bridge House Senior School It was another great day for the Portland Place Senior Rugby squad who managed a great 37-12 victory over North Bridge House on a gloriously sunny day. With the sun beaming down on the muddy Regent’s Park ground it was a game of attack as the PPS squad started off with a bang. James Harman opened
the scoring with a great team move. After moving up the pitch, switching the ball between backs and forwards who offloaded at every opportunity, keeping the ball alive and moving defence from left to right. It was the final ruck set up by James Eadally that opened the gate, let James H round the final defender, and slide in at the corner. This seemed to be the outcome for most of the game with backs and forwards intertwining and ruck speed being shortened as Teddy Scanlan was able to get the ball out quicker than it has before. It was this speed that saw Josh Tucker advance with the ball, past one defender, two and then a number more as he ran round the winger to score a superb solo try. With the first half coming to an end and the PPS squad starting to move the defenders around it was the power of the forwards that got the third try.
With a number pick and drives from Charlie Wilson, Max Buck and Nicolas Bartha edging the squad closer to the try line, it was a powerful run by Teddy Faulkner that saw him drag three defenders over the line as he dotted the ball down. The half finished with a 15-0 lead for the PPS squad but there was no time for rest as they continued to push the opposing team back at every opportunity. The pressure saw scrum half, Teddy S sneak back the ball from his opposite number before running in a well-deserved try. With Miles Sellens-Flack, Felix Osgerby and Tom Hallam holding the fort on the wings and full back, Miles set up the next try for James H. After taking the ball on the run and stepping another few defenders, he dragged in the defence, and this saw the resulting ruck bring a 4 on 1 overlap and James H was the profiteer as he threw a ludicrous
dummy and dove over the line. The second half saw Leo Newberry and Sonny Shelton open up the defence. After kicking the ball through, it was Leo’s running game that saw him speed down the wing, step inside the final defender and dive in at the corner. ANOTHER FANTASTIC TRY! There was still time for one more try and it was Captain, Josh, who was to score it. With encouragement from his father on the side-line and some screams and shouts from his teammates it was a charging run that saw Josh swat away the defenders and the Jonah Lomu style run over the 15 and score the last try of the game. It was a great performance by the Senior Squad as they pushed defences back and worked extremely well as a team.
Sports report Girls U12 Netball vs Thames Christian College (0–3) Player of the Match – Mia Lipkin
It was a beautiful sunny day on Tuesday 16th March on our way to play to Thames Christian College
school. In the line-up for the squad was Avalon Smith (WD), Mia Lipkin (GD), Zaya Child (GS), Maya Lachheb (C), Yasmin Magomedova (GK) , Abi Taub (GA) and Angelica Morby (WA). The girls started the game at a fast pace setting the tone for the rest of match. Mia and Yasmin were decisive on court and rallied together to prevent the opposition from attempting to score any goals from the get-go. They made some great interceptions in defence and made it very difficult for TCC to score. On the attack, Avalon, Maya and Angelica worked hard to get the ball to our shooting end where Abi and Zaya were on hand to try and score for PPS. The opposition got the better of us though and scored 3 goals despite Zaya and Abi having numerous attempts to put the score right.
All the girls worked incredibly hard for the entire game and learned so much in terms of how to improve for next time. Mia got awarded the player of the match which was so well deserved as she made so many fabulous interceptions when the opposition were on the attack. Special mention must also go to Yasmin who also played out of her skin in her position. I have no doubt that the girls will come back stronger next time and that their hard work will reap the rewards. Well done to all the girls, Miss Boyce
