A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 9
It has been another busy week at Waldegrave and we continue to hear some really positive feedback from tutors and subject teachers about our wonderful Year 9s who have settled back into their routines which is great to hear. Many of our extra curricular PE and Music clubs have begun and the lists have now been posted on all Google Classrooms. If your child would like to find out more about these opportunities then please ask them to speak to their Form Tutor. Why not try something new like the early morning run club, every Tuesday 7.45 - 8.15am and you can enjoy FREE porridge afterwards - a great way to energise and get fit! Well done to our Year 9 netball team who played their first match of the season last week against Christs School and although they were on this occasion defeated our team demonstrated excellent team work and sportsmanship throughout on what was a blustery and damp evening. We would love to hear about and celebrate our students’ achievements outside of school. Please be sure to let us know of anything your child has been involved with that deserves recognition. Our top three epraise individual leaders in year 9 this week are Adela T (9SHU), Rose F (9STR) and Adrienna S (9PIR) very well done to those individuals. Our top three forms this week are 9PAR, followed by 9PIR and 9EBH. Following last year’s success Waldegrave is again hosting its Wildlife Photography Competition. It would be great to see Year 9 getting involved and showing off their photography skills and talents! See page 4 for full details. A reminder that students have been asked to ensure that they are wearing lanyards at all times whilst on school premises. If any have been mislaid new ones can be purchased via Parent Pay. Year 9 have also been reminded that white Nike or other branded sport type socks are not to be worn as part of their school uniform. Thank you for your continued support and have a lovely weekend.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘Arsenic For Tea’ by Robin Stevens A murder-mystery, with two curious girls as the main protagonists – Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong. As chaos unfolds around them, they tend to try and solve them like full-on detectives, but unpaid, of course. This is the second book in the series, so I recommend reading the first book first. But a brief summary is – the two girls are at Daisy’s house (Fallingford) for a tea party Daisy’s mother was throwing and Daisy’s whole family was invited. When mysteriously one of them fall extremely ill and pass away due to poisoning. Who could have done it, and how? It was thrilling to read it, going on the way to the answer with our protagonists. To suspect a character and finding out the truth is like a whole adventure without having to move around. I picked this book from the series specifically because of how suspenseful it was. Almost every character seemed like the culprit, every single one of them acted edgy, so it was even harder to work out. Of course there are other books in the series as well, one as good as the other, so if you enjoyed this one, there are many more.
