Yours sincerely, FROM THE LIBRARIANS Jonathan Hetherington, Headmaster The librarians have requested that we do not accept any more BA (Hons) MSc (Ed) QTS book donations for the library at the moment. Thank you. Dear All, A very warm welcome to new parents and welcome back to existing parents! For those who don’t know, the Friends of More House (FOMH) was founded in 2011. It is run by parent volunteers with the purpose of enabling parents to meet one another and to be involved in the school community - raising funds for supplementary items for the school. Over the last 5 years, almost £60,000 has been raised! We sell second-hand uniform (soon to have a brand new shed/shop!), ensure each year has a class rep, (see list on our noticeboard in the bottom car-park and in the new parent handbook), organise annual events (this term it’s the Boys’ Christmas Fair), organise get-togethers & run refreshments at school events. We also maintain and distribute a parental contact list. Parent Contact List This is a list of boys grouped by year and geographical location, which enables parents to contact each other for playdates and lift-sharing. If you are not yet on the list and would like to join please email [email protected]. Boys’ Christmas Fair – Early Donation Request Please can we ask for your help with the following donations: toys, books, games, DVD’s, bric-a-brac and presents that the boys could buy for parents! Please leave any donations in the school office or contact Simone Haldenby on: 07879 815945.

With best wishes The Friends of More House Co-Chairs, Simone Haldenby & Jennifer Dinkeldein [email protected] [email protected] MHS JAZZ BAND AWARD The Music Department are delighted that the Jazz Band have been awarded a commission from the Farnham Festival, generously sponsored by Jane Krish. The Farnham Festival committee were greatly impressed by MHS Jazz Band’s set at the festival last March, and decided to employ the talents of William Goodchild to write a suite of four pieces, aptly named More Four. William composes and produces music for film, television and concert performance and has scored over seventy films for the major broadcasters including the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, PBS, National Geographic International, Discovery International and Animal Planet. Recent commissions have included four award-winning productions: Jago - a Life Underwater (Underdog Films), Africa's Giant Killers (BBC Natural World), Wild Russia (6-part series for National Geographic International), and Lobo - the Wolf that Changed America (BBC Natural World). The Jazz Band will start rehearsing More Four as soon as possible to ensure it is up to scratch for its world premiere at the Farnham Festival on 22nd March 2018. GAMEGAME OVEROVER Portsmouth’s only video gaming cafe! Year 10 boarders recently visited ‘Game Over’ - a gaming cafe filled with all sorts of retro consoles and games. Whilst some of the boys looked a little bemused at these ancient consoles (the NES especially!) they all soon settled into the action and shortly the only sounds to be heard were from rapid clicking of buttons and final frustration when the inevitable ‘Game Over’ message appeared on screen! SAFE AT SCHOOL WELCOME! PSHEE and Well-Being remains a focus for both staff and students at MHS. In our teaching, we adopt a ‘whole We very much welcome new members of staff to the MHS school’ approach, and lessons are taught across all year community! groups at the same time, by the student's own tutor.

With more choices, opportunities, and movement in careers, at MHS we are keen to build bridges between the world of work and our pupils’ current lives. As parents, you represent a diverse range of professions and we would very much like to invite you to share your expertise through a series of inspiring short talks to boys in years 9-13. The sessions will take place between 08.45-09.15 and last about 15 minutes, including a chance for questions. Ideally, talks would focus on the route taken from school to reach a current career position, an overview of day to day responsibilities and skills needed for that role. We are looking forward to welcoming Mrs Courtenay, an author and editor of children's books, on Tuesday 10th October; and Mrs Newnes- Smith, the CEO of a Charity, on Tuesday 31st October. If you would like to contribute to our series of talks or to discuss this further, please contact our Careers Adviser, Marjorie Withers, [email protected]. We look forward to developing an exciting and inspiring programme for our senior students. Thank you. CUDDINGTON MANOR The wind is moaning softly through the leafless trees, the light is fading fast and there is a smell of decay lingering in the mist.

It was based on an idea designed with three aims: Improving public knowledge and understanding of nature within the urban environment Connecting people to nature and encouraging their appreciation of the natural urban wealth through interaction Providing an artistic experience through the interpretation of a natural phenomenon Original proposal TreeSong is an arts installation commissioned by Bristol 2015 as part of the city’s year as European Green Capital. A specific beech tree was chosen (see map) we installed a low level structure beneath the canopy designed to make contact with the falling beechnuts and emit musical sound across an octave. All the sounds were recorded to capture the soundtrack of the tree and this data was used in a new classical composition premiered at St George’s Bristol in November. During hours of darkness, the installation and the tree was lit with red and green wash lighting. A solar-powered generator was positioned close to the site to provide environmentally-friendly electricity supply. Over the period of the installation, people were able to hear the sounds of the tree. An education project was planned to run alongside the installation to provide information about the tree and the role and importance of trees in the urban environment.

  • Dan-Brockington-Celebrity-And-The
    More praise for Celebrity and the Environment ‘More exposé than a tabloid. More weight than a broadsheet ... Brockington lends academic muscle to what, I suspect, many of us instinctively feel about these issues. Extensively researched yet winsomely written and, thankfully, not veering into cynicism which a book on this subject could easily do. Enlightening and easily accessible by the armchair environmentalist.’ Terry Clark, St Luke’s Church, Glossop ‘I was surprised by this book. Anything containing the mere word “celebrity” will normally see me heading for the hills at speed, let alone a whole book on the subject! Dan’s book is written with wit and grace. His research was clearly meticulous and the result is a book that is informative and enjoyable.’ Robin Barker, Countrycare Children’s Homes ‘In an analysis that builds on a large literature examining interlinkages between conservation and corporate interest, Dan Brockington turns a new corner, investigating how the rich and famous lend their glamour to the noble goal of saving the planet. In reality conservation is a highly political pursuit with winners and losers. Brockington provides a well- balanced account of the pros of harnessing the razzamatazz of celebrity to the conservation cause with the cons of sanitizing the harsh realities of conservation politics and the insidious danger of commoditizing nature. If you want to embark on the journey in to contemporary conservation you would go well with this book.’ Monique Borgerhoff Mulder and Tim Caro, University of California at Davis ‘A thoroughly stimulating book that made me question my role as a conservation filmmaker.’ Jeremy Bristow, director and writer About the author Dan Brockington has a PhD in anthro- pology from UCL and is happiest conducting long-term research in remote rural areas.
