HEADLINES
It was lovely to welcome everyone back after our half term break. Our Iceland ex-
plorers have been inspired by their recent trip, and I am delighted to hear that they
represented the school so brilliantly and acted as excellent ambassadors. Thank you
to all the pupils and to all the staff.
This week we have explored our 5 Keys to Success during our assemblies. On Thurs-
day our Remembrance assembly, led by 8BJ, was very thoughtful. We commemorat-
ed the many families connected to the Royal British Legion and recognised the sacri-
fices made by the Armed Forces community, past and present. We listened to some
beautiful singing by our Senior Choir. Thank you to our parents who supported the
assembly.
Year 6 pupils spent a day “experiencing” all Year 7 and Year 8 has to offer with a ukulele lesson, water po-
lo, a drama workshop, science experiments, driving the blue devil and some time in the woods and zorb-
ing. Watch the video that they filmed during the day here.
Our rehearsals for Annie are well on their way, further information concerning the performances and rou-
tines for the day can be found in the newsletter.
Today all parents will receive a ParentMail with a link to the Rose Hill School parent survey, it will close on
Monday 26 November. I encourage parents to complete the survey which provides us with important in-
formation as we plan our future.
Best wishes
Emma Neville, Head

On the performance days we would encourage all Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils to be picked up from school at
4pm. There will be no clubs after school on Thursday or Friday for Years 3, 4 & 5, but prep will be running as
usual. Please ensure that children have had something to eat before the show. All children must be back
in school by 5.30pm at the latest.
Children will be ready for collection from the quad from 8.20pm. Thank you in advance for your support.
CHILDREN IN NEED
The School Council will be delivering a Children in Need assembly on
Friday 16th November. All pupils, Pre-Prep and Prep, are encouraged
to wear something spotty to supplement their school uniform, which
could include Children in Need merchandise. A donation of £1 is sug-
gested.
As in previous years, Prep School children have been encouraged to run various stalls at break time. Pupils
must have gained prior approval from Mr Stacey. Donations should be brought in by Prep School children
wishing to take part in the activities at break time.
KENT POLICE It has been brought to the attention of Police that a number of young people are viewing a site called
‘Doki Doki Literature Club’. You may or may not be aware that the game makes references to knives, de-
pression, suicide and self-harm. Please keep an eye out, raise awareness to staff and advice parents ac-
cordingly. Any queries please contact [email protected]
PUPIL NEWS
Well done to all the Rose Hill pupils who participated in the Tunbridge
Wells Hockey Club triangulars at the weekend.

Y8 TRIP TO TONBRIDGE GALLERY On 5 October 2018, we went to visit Tonbridge School’s ‘4B: Exploring Contemporary Drawing’ art exhibi-
tion, which took place in the Old School’s Gallery. Sara, the art educator and Emily, the Art curator greet-
ed us and introduced us to the four artists, Jeanette Barnes, Christy Burdock and Meghana Bisineer and
Louise Bourgeois. The work ranged from huge chalk pastel drawings by Jeanette Barnes showing the con-
struction work of the Olympic Park to small dry point prints by Louise Bourgeois. After an interesting guided
tour, talk and discussion around the exhibition we chose our favourite artwork and sketched it in our
sketchbooks.
Most of us really enjoyed Louise Bourgeois work because we all felt her work was amusing, intriguing and
‘quirky’. Abi did a study of her work called ‘Woman in a bathtub’. Finlay copied one of her dry point print
called ‘Sculptress’ and Sam chose ‘Scissors’. Rufus, Dylan and Honor selected sections of Christy Burdocks
art, which were large scale illustrative pencil drawings with thought provoking topics. We had the whole
gallery to ourselves which meant we could move around and talk about the artwork as if it was a class-
room. It was fascinating to see such a variety of drawings ranging in size, style and techniques. A great art
trip. Rufus, Sam, Abi, Dylan and Finly
TOM PALMER VISIT We were joined by author Tom Palmer on Friday19 October. Tom writes books which deliver a number of
key messages or life lessons through the medium of sport. Tom’s latest book the Armistice Runner follows a
Cross Country running girl who unearths a number of her Great-Grandfathers diaries from his time in WW1.
Tom spoke to pupils in Year 2-8 about his motivation for writing, his research into the war and his passion for
sport and writing.

ICELAND TRIP On Monday 22
October, 10
Year 6s, Miss
Roberts and Mrs
Morgan went
on a trip to Ice-
land. We were
there for four
days and during
that time we
visited many
places.
Some of the first
things we did
was to visit a
magnificent
church which
was made of
quartz columns.
We also got to
visit the Perlan.
The Perlan is a a large building with a dome on the top
so you can see across Reykjavik. This building used to be
used as a large water tank. We also got to visit the black
beach where the sand is black and the waves are gi-
normous.
The next day we visited a waterfall called Seljalandsfoss.
At Seljalandsfoss we got to walk behind it and saw it
from another point of view and it was super pretty. An-
other great day was when we visited the hot spring
called the Secret Lagoon. We all got to swim in the la-
goon and it was really warm like being in a bath! We
also got to see the geysers which smelt of sulphur which
smells like rotten egg! We also went to Skogafoss where
we did a competition where we had to guess how
many stairs there were to the top. It turns out there are
370 and we walked them all!
We saw another waterfall called Gullfoss where we learnt how the water has eroded away the rock.
One of my favourite sites that we visited was the Glacier. A Glacier is a really big block of ice that keeps mov-
ing as the ice melts. 20 years ago the glacier would have been bigger than it is today.
Iceland grows 2cm every year because of volcanic movement.
A funny fact I learnt was that Icelandic people believe in elves. They have to ask someone who can talk to
elves to ask them if they can build a road and whether they have to go round a specific rock!!
Takk (thank you in Icelandic) to Mrs Morgan and Miss Roberts for organising such a fun trip!

U9 GIRLS HOCKEY
Well done to our fabulous U9 girls who
played at the Lingfield College hockey tour-
nament. The girls had fun and came 3rd
overall.
The last day of term saw pupils take part in our
Interhouse Cross Country, The Rose Hill
‘CRAF’ (Compulsory Run Around the Fields). Pu-
pils from Years 2 through to Year 8 competed in
a number of graded races in order to win points
for their house. Pupils were awarded points in
relation to their finishing position in order boost
their house totals. The afternoon saw 10 races
ran with the top 3 runners from each race re-
ceiving medals from author Tom Palmer who
had joined us for the day.
Well done to all the runners and thank you to the
many parents and grandparents who attended
the event.
