Numeracy Week - 8th-12th February 2010 - Part 1
The last week of the first half of Spring Term was Numeracy Week. The weather threatened to spoil the celebrations,
but unlike last year, it didn’t. We endured the bad weather and all the events took place as planned.
The offer was rich and reached a good number of students. We had guests and competitions, did the Maths walk and
displays about the book ‘The curious incident of the dog in the night time’ and visited Hayes Primary School among
many other things. Many people were involved and we would like to thank everyone for their help and support.
We are biased but the general feeling we had from the students was excitement. To confirm, or not, our impressions,
we would like to receive your comments. As a parent or a teacher of a student that might have participated in one of
the events, it is important for us to know what the impact of this week was on them. Did they tell you all about it? Are
they asking questions about something that they did?
As our menu was long and so many people were involved, we have a lot to tell. So for that reason we tell all about it in
small and weekly doses.
Talk – Ryan Flynn – Maths in the real life - On 11th February we welcomed Ryan Flynn, a Principal Lecture in the School
of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Greenwich. We invited him to speak to some of our
Year 10 students about the use of Maths in the gaming and computing industry. Ryan talked about the University of
Greenwich and the observatory, the Maths or Applied Maths that was once developed there and the Applied Maths
being developed now. He told us about the important projects related with simulators and fire safety before going
on to show some of the first video games, the maths within them and how they evolved to the latest technology. The
feedback was mixed, but for the students interested in the topic the talk was very positive. Ryan will possibly return
later in the year to run workshops in this topic.
‘I thought the talk was quite interesting because I am interested in designing games. It made me see that it involves Maths
and that Maths isn’t always boring. It opened up my options for A-level and University’ Annie, Year 10
‘I really liked the talk. I also learnt about the University itself. The fact that behind simple and complex programs, Maths
is what makes everything work. I was fascinated that you could control the actions of small programmed people through
Maths software which could be used to save lives.’ Elaine, Year 10
‘I thought it was an interesting speech which put an interesting spin on Maths. However I thought that much of it seemed to
be about the University. Overall it was a good use of time and very interesting, informative speech.’ Sebastian, Year 1

• How to assemble data and assess it
• How to investigate facts and use deduction

Shrewsbury 2010 - Geography Trip
On Wednesday 10th February Miss Robinson, Miss Prescott and Mr McCambley were impressed to see 40 Year 12
student’s eager, packed (some for a month!) and ready to go before 7am! After a long 6 and a half hour journey the
group arrived at FSC Preston Montford to start a fieldwork programme to prepare them for their Unit 2 examination.
During the three days the students were an asset to the school and worked extremely hard despite the very long
hours that were expected of them. Well done Year 12 ! Miss Robinson and Miss Prescott
This trip was an enjoyable educational experience. We stayed for two nights in ‘Preston Montford’, measuring the
weather and assessing flood risks in the local town of Shrewsbury which has experienced some large floods in past
years. We learnt how they dealt with this issue using flood defences. On the final day we went to their local farm,
‘Battlefield 1403’ which has undergone rebranding, and whilst evaluating the rebranding process we had a pretty
enjoyable day. The farm shop sausages were very nice and we all had an enjoyable time and made friendships that
will last a lifetime. By Ellie Walker and the rest of 122/Gg2

Bromley School Prom
Every other year Bromley schools are invited to perform at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon. This is a great showcase
for the best of Bromley music, with most of Bromley’s primary and secondary schools providing a wonderful range
of high quality music. This year they ran over 4 nights and Hayes School opened the show on Friday February 12th.
We performed extracts from the forthcoming production of Jesus Christ Superstar. The cast were superb, with a
band and huge choir supporting Kenneth Agyei-Kyeremateng, David Surridge and Durone Dehaney-Stokes in 3
songs. They brought the house down and if it had been a competition would undoubtedly have struck gold.
It was a privilege to watch and listen to our students and the supporting staff. Thank you to all of them for a
wonderful evening - you made me proud to be part of Hayes School. The show itself runs from the 18th – 20th
March - put this in your diaries now! Mr Osborne, Headteacher

Film Club
Hayes School sees a boost in the community and its cross year interactions as the Film Club of Room DGL grows to
30 members. What originally started as a Sixth Form only club – with an average of three or four members every
week rapidly increased as the club’s doors were opened to all years.
Films shown have been chosen from a variety of past favourites of my childhood; since the early Naughties decade
which inspired me when I was younger. Members from the Sixth Form and Years 10, 8 and 7 were all chilled by
the crop ‘Signs’, followed by Nicole Kidman with ‘The Others’ and starting today (Wednesday lunch time) was the
humorous sci-fi ‘The Fifth Element’. Students from the lower years have been ‘thrilled’ and ‘excited’ by this club, and
enthusiastically hope to see an even broader variety – with ‘The Italian Job’ (1969) suggested by a fellow Year 7
member! By Ben Rider 13SC
