School Last Week

U12 Super 8 Athletics at Marlowe Academy
Our Block 2 athletes were very successful at the recent Super 8
competition. Teams comprised 8 pupils, all of whom had to
participate in a track, field and relay event with scores awarded for
performances in each event. The girls team led the way beating 10
other local schools, whilst the boys finished 2nd. Overall, Wellesley
were crowned champions. Well done all.
Rugby
Congratulations to Matthew Marson, who was chosen as the
Thanet Wanderers Rugby Club under 11's player of the season. He
had a fabulous season playing at inside centre and second row and
was the unanimous choice of all coaches. Well done, Matthew.
JH to Denne Hill Farm
JH had an educational visit to Denne Hill farm on 20th May as part
of their science topic on food and farming. Mrs Loder-Symonds
explained what an arable farm does and showed the children the
machinery, grain store and driers, weigh-in bridge, fields of crops
and final products. The children found it a fascinating experience
and were astounded by what happens to the crops before it
reaches the point where it could become food for them. Our thanks
to Mr and Mrs Loder-Symonds for a great visit.

Form 2 to Operation Dynamo Ramsgate

We were blessed with perfect weather on Thursday May 21st for
the re-enactment of Operation Dynamo, the rescue of troops from
Dunkirk by the 'small ships' 75 years ago. Form 2 travelled to
Ramsgate harbour with Mr Page, Miss Beaumont, Mr Nichol and
Mr and Mrs O'Malley. Apart from the impressive sight of boats of
all sizes leaving the harbour, we were privileged to witness a flypast
from a Spitfire and a Hurricane.
Three- legged walk for Silas
Congratulations to Flo Roberts and Phoebe Flood for their
successful three-legged walk around Bewl Water Reservoir to raise
money and awareness for Silas Pullen, their friend, who died from a
brain tumour in December 2013.The girls took five hours! You can
still support their cause via www.justgiving.com/3legsforSilas
Thank you.
Block 3 to France
Block 3 had a great day in France, interviewing the locals in French
at a large shopping centre, exploring a large supermarket and
enjoying sea life at Nausicaa.
School This Week
Exams
There was no Music on Monday due to the Common Entrance
exams taking place this week. We wish all of our Block 1 sitting
these papers every success. These exams finish on Thursday
morning.
School exams take place next week for all years except JH, while
Block 1 will enjoy a welcome respite on their PGL trip.
Sainsburys vouchers
Please ask your friends and family if they have any Sainsburys
vouchers that you could bring into school. If we can gather a
further 200 vouchers we could acquire something quite substantial!
Many thanks.
My Neighbourhood Competition
Do not forget this photo competition organised by Rightmove. The
deadline is the beginning of July 2015. All pictures need to be taken

Orchard Drinks
Just a reminder to parents of girls in The Orchard that it is the
Nichols 25 Year celebration on Saturday from noon. Hopefully we
will enjoy good weather!
Kamla Nehru
This week we welcome Ms Arvind and Ms Upasana who are both
teachers from the Kamla Nehru Public school in India.
As English and maths specialists, it is certain that both children and
teaching staff will benefit greatly from their visit.
This week the kitchen will be serving menu 2.
