Issue 90 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement Friday 8th February 2019 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan Mobile Phone Protocol Mobile phones are, to many people, an essential feature of everyday life. In light of the recent media attention about mobile phones in schools I wish to reiterate what has been Plashet School policy for over six years. I am aware that many parents want their daughter to have a phone on their journey to and from school to help ensure her safety. Within school students are safe and are able to contact home should they need to through reception. Similarly, parents/guardians can send messages to students by telephoning the school. Whilst on school site students are not allowed to use their mobile phones or have them visible at any time. This rule is in place to ensure that students concentrate entirely on their studies and, in unstructured time, they are not engaged in activities with a mobile phone that could put them or others at risk and they instead spend their break and lunchtimes talking rather than looking at a screen. If a student is seen using a mobile phone on school premises it will be confiscated and held in school for three working days. A letter will be sent home alerting parents/guardians of the confiscation. The confiscated mobile phone will be returned to the student’s parent or guardian after three days. If a parent wishes their daughter to have a mobile phone for the journey to and from school, the phone remains the responsibility of that student and the school does not accept any liability for any mobile phone lost or stolen in school whilst in the child’s possession. 2019 Parents’ Meetings A reminder that during the Spring Term each year group has their parents’ meeting. Parents’ Meetings begin at 13.30 and finish at 17.30. School therefore finishes early at 12.35pm for students on the following days to ensure all subject teachers and support staff are available to meet with parents. Thursday 14th February: Year 8 Parents' Meetings 13.30-17.30 Tuesday 26th March: Year 10 Parents' Meetings 13.30-17.30 Wednesday 3rd April: Year 7 Parents' Meetings 13.30-17.30 Emergency Contact Details If you have changed your home or mobile telephone number in recent months, I would ask that you inform us as a matter of urgency. It is imperative that we have up-to-date emergency contact details for every child. Please telephone the school to inform us of your revised details. Your support with this crucial matter is much appreciated. Sarah Mussi Author Visit On Monday 14th January, young adult author Sarah Mussi visited Plashet and spoke to students in Year 8 and Year 9 about her books, her experiences as a writer and how she finds inspiration for her novels. The visit was part of a literacy project funded by the Worshipful Company of Arbitrators which aims to encourage students in London schools to increase their reading for pleasure. Sarah Mussi took Year 8 students through the process which she follows when developing a story idea, while Year 9 looked at some of the issues which occur in her books and thought about their own responses to different moral questions. Both year groups participated in the events with a lot of enthusiasm! “We met Sarah Mussi and she talked to us about how she got the inspiration for her story lines. I found her very amusing and lots of people wanted to buy her books. The books are mostly about the reality of scary situations and how the characters handle these situations. Overall, her books are really interesting, I recommend them to anyone who likes thrillers.” Sumya Yesmin 9E “It was very good and we got some tips on how to write creatively when it comes to our creative writing essays.” Janesha Puvirajan 9H “Having an author come to school was a wish come true as I had all my questions answered about writing books and publishing stories. Now I know, I might publish a story of my own. Overall it was a very interesting and fun hour.” Rahmah Bagum 8B “It was very inspirational and amazing to learn that we can have a voice through writing.” Sasha Winn 8B Ms Clifford-Smith, Librarian Scholastic Book Fair The Scholastic Book Fair took place from 3rd to 7th December. We made £413.08 and we got to spend £165 on free books for our libraries. It was a big success and there will be more new books. Lia Ali 10A Christmas Concert The Christmas concert is where anyone who likes to sing or act can work together to create a performance for friends and families to watch and have a great time. The theme this year was “The Greatest Showman”. It was great and we had so much fun rehearsing. We gave up many lunchtimes to rehearse, but the end result was worth it. In choir, we sang “Rise Up”, “A Million Dreams” and as a grand finale we performed “This Is Me”. In Drama, we re-enacted some scenes from “The Greatest Showman” and there were bands playing too. Our teachers helped us a lot - even when we would mess things up, they were really helpful. The whole concert was amazing and everyone enjoyed participating in it. I am very delighted to have been part of this beautiful performance. Janesha Puvirajan 9H 2 Visit to the Imperial College Of London Going to this university was a privilege as we got to see how life would be as a university student. We went to a Robotics Workshop which was led by students themselves. During the workshop we had to get into teams and make our own robots using Lego. We then had a relay race of the robots! I believe that this was an experience of a lifetime. We learnt a lot about building, programming and how day to day life is in university. We all had an amazing time. To end the visit, we had a tour of the campus and got the opportunity to ask questions about what life is like as a university student. They talked to us about Science labs, dorm rooms, lectures etc. This was a really enjoyable experience and we hope to get an opportunity like this again. Shinejot Kaur 8P and Ria Kotecha 8P Year 7 and 9 Netball The Year 7 and 9 Netball teams had a fixture against Chobham Academy on 24th January 2019. All of the students worked really hard and were a credit to themselves and Plashet. The final score was a 1–0 victory to Plashet in the Year 7 match, and a 12–4 victory to Plashet in the Year 9 match. Player of the match was given to Yasmin Patel and Liba Saeed, well done! The following students played: Fatima Idrees 7S Humaira Jahedi 7E Mayesha Khanam 7S Dhanvi Patel 7T Yasmin Patel 7T Khadijah Sayeed 7T Aisha Sheikh 7E Leema Syed 7T Yamina Ali 9H Alyaa Hussain 9T Ruqayyah Hussain 9H Mariam Raza 9S Liba Saeed 9T Isma Shah 9G Rabia Siddique 9T Well done girls! Mrs Setter, PE Teacher 3 Year 10 Sociology Visit On 17th January 2019 Year 10 Sociology students visited the British Library where they were able to see original documentation, letters and artefacts from important figures and historical moments in the ‘treasure gallery’. This included letters and posters written and created by the Suffragettes, letters from Ghandi during his non-violent protests, ancient Bibles and Qurans. In the afternoon students participated in a workshop at the Royal Courts of Justice. During this time, the students learnt that there are a variety of different courts who deal with different types of cases. For instance, the Royal Court is otherwise referred to as High Court where they deal with civil cases. They also learnt about the different roles played by people within the courtroom. Finally, students were given a real life case that occurred. They re-enacted the case whereby every student played a role and then students playing the jury delivered a verdict. Overall students stated that not only did they find it useful for their curriculum but some are considering a new career path that they never considered previously. Miss Teles, Subject Leader for Sociology Post 16 Transition Event As part of the CEIAG provision, we had a variety of post-16 providers visit Plashet School on Tuesday 10th January 2019 to help Year 11 students decide where they might want to move onto after they leave us in the summer. The mass of colleges / training providers that attended were: NCS (Newham Collegiate Sixth Form), NewVIc, London Film Academy, East London Science School, Seven Kings, Canon Palmer Academy, B6, LAE, Brampton Manor, Central Foundation, St Bonaventure’s, Caterham High School, LDEUTC, Sir George Monoux Sixth Form College, Leyton Sixth Form, Big Creative Education, Havering Sixth Form College and Newham College. “It was quite informative.” 11P “It was a brilliant experience to speak to providers face to face.” 11A Mrs Clark, Lead for CEIAG, Work Experience and Learning for Life 4 Learning for Life Morning On Wednesday 16th January, Year 11 were involved in a series of programmes ranging from deciding on a career to organising a portfolio. The day began with a lesson on how to use a careers website called Job Explorer Database. Students had to answer various questions about themselves in order to find a job which met their needs, likes and dislikes. This really amazed and intrigued some students as to what jobs were available, especially as some of them had never considered the options which were generated.

  • The Industrial and Community Heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich Introduction

    The Industrial and Community Heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich Introduction

    The industrial and community heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich Introduction The Islanders is a project that aims to preserve the industrial and community heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich. It is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Royal Docks Team. Volunteers and local participants have contributed significantly to the project. Thames Festival Trust thanks Newham Archives (The Islanders’ Heritage Partner), London Metropolitan Archives and Eastside Community Heritage. In the nineteenth century, London’s eastern boundary was at Bow Creek, where its noxious industries began to congregate. From shipbuilding, to silver, iron, oils, soap, rubber and manure, London’s industry was developing on the fringes of the city. By the completion of the Albert Dock in 1880, Silvertown and North Woolwich had effectively become an ‘island’. It was bordered by the Thames to the south, and by the Royal Docks and its lock entrances to the north, east and west, the only way in or out was by bridge, ferry or tunnel.

September 2021 Left: Goad Fire Insurance Plan, May 1900 (The British Library) 3 The origins Prior to the nineteenth century, Silvertown and North Woolwich was an uninhabited marshland called Plaistow Level used for grazing cattle, and frequented by smugglers, prize fighters, and high tide flooding, sat between Bow Creek and Gallions Reach. In the 1840s, the area was sold cheaply at an ‘agricultural price’ to a consortium of developers.

    17 July 2015 Name & Tutor Group

    Issue 41 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement 17 July 2015 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan Staff News During this half-term, Mrs Mary Ward, a member of our reception team, retired from the school having served our school community for 21 years. Whilst not everyone in our community will have met Mrs Ward face-to-face, by the nature of her job many of you will have spoken to her over the phone. Throughout her service to the school, Mrs Ward has been a consummate professional in all her dealings with youngsters, families, visitors and staff and is much missed as she commences a very well earned retirement. On behalf of our whole school community can I thank her for her outstanding contribution to the school and wish her a long and happy retirement. A number of staff will be leaving us at the end of this academic year, most notably Mrs Sue Rosner, who has been a teacher here at Plashet since 1980 and Assistant Headteacher since 1997. Mrs Rosner has served the school with great distinction throughout this period holding a wide range of different responsibilities. As well as being a fantastic contributor to the leadership of our whole school she has worked closely with a number of different Cohorts as their senior line manager. As a teacher of Drama she has consistently demanded the highest possible standards from students in her own classes, and the quality of teaching she has demonstrated has been an inspiration to less experienced members of staff who will miss her wise counsel.
