This term, for the first time, we have hosted some parenting talks run by Supporting Links. The course, entitled ‘Talking Pre-teens’, lasted for six weeks and I was delighted to receive the very positive feedback from the parents who attended. In particular, parents felt more confident in dealing with issues with their children at home, with a 34% rise in confidence in setting boundaries and a 32% rise in confidence in maintaining control. One parent summarised by saying that the course “made me more confident about my parenting skills and equipped me with tools to achieve better outcomes with my children”. Thank you so much to the parents who attended and it is great to hear that 100% of you would recommend this to other parents. Based on this recommendation, I will arrange some similar courses later in the year. Best wishes |

A Memorable Autumn Term!
It has been a very busy Autumn Term and we had a fitting end today with Final Assembly. Congratulations to the Middle and Senior Choir and the following readers Alexander Meikle Pebe (Y3), Kishan Bharti (Y4), Ahren Chadha (Y5), Max Little(Y6), James Keeney (Y7) and Daniel Rowlands(Y8) for their lovely contributions to the Carol Service and we thank them for this seasonal gift.

End of MTP first term
|
It is hard to believe that we are yet again at the end of a very busy Autumn Term – our first as Merchant Taylors’ Prep. Even though our name has changed, the many opportunities available to boys and the same spirit endure. This term has been packed with music, sport, activities, visits and a wonderful candlelit Carol Service. This week has also featured Hockey finals, LAMDA and Music exams, House General Knowledge, Christmas Feast and an Evening of Poetry & Prose by Year 7. It was great to see the boys perform their two pieces on stage with such confidence. We would like to thank our wonderful Parents’ Association for all their hard work, in particular the recent Secrets' Room (shhh…it’s a secret). The boys enjoyed choosing and buying Christmas gifts and the raffle draw brought great excitement to Friday lunch. The winners were: 1st Prize Ryan Ludhra Y42nd Prize Aryan Ashar Y1 3rd Prize Daniel Rowlands Y8 4th Prize Aryan Kapoor Y2 5th Prize Harry Bayes Y8 6th Prize Raam Shah Y1 7th Prize Jonathan Read Y7 8th Prize Aarian Bahanda Y3 9th Prize Max Little Y6 All sports teams have had their last matches with the season now over at School. Our U12 Hockey side being crowned as THL champions was a fitting (and hitting!) end to the term. However, every single team has developed over the term and shown a high level of determination and skill. Thanks to Mr Todd and all the coaches who have been involved in running the teams. Mr Lake has surpassed himself with excellent pitch preparation and Mr McCormack has provided delicious team teas. Final congratulations are to boys who gained effort commendations, Merit badges for 100 House Points or a Double Merit badge for 150 House Points, and to those boys who were awarded their School Colours this term. Reminders: There appears to be a large number of plastic bags coming into School containing various items which could either be in a sports bag or school bag. We kindly ask that the correct bags are used and that the bags are clearly named. Over the term we also collect a great deal of lost property which is unnamed. Please can we ask that all School clothing, kit and equipment are named to make them easier to return to your son? We will be checking again that everything is named next term. In anticipation of colder weather when we return, boys may want to wear a coat and hat. If they do, please ensure it is regulation uniform. We have also encouraged some boys to get a haircut over the holidays! In line with School rules, please ensure that there are no extreme hairstyles, no shaved sides or lines, no hair too long, and no excessive use of hair products. Thank you, once again for all your support this year: we look forward to many more successful terms at Merchant Taylors’ Prep. Finally, we would like to wish all of you good health, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, wherever you are in the world. Mr M Hibbert | Assistant Head of School & Mr A Crook | Deputy Head |
Congratulations

JUNIOR SCHOOL
Flurry of exciting festive activities

Who can believe that we have reached the end of term? All boys' in Junior School and Nursery have done so very well this term and I can see that they are all ready for a rest during the Christmas holiday! The last couple of weeks of term have flown by in a flurry of exciting festive activities. Firstly, we have been treated to two beautiful Christmas productions. Y1 and Y2 performed with such confidence in ‘Census Sums’ and the photographs show Yash Kotecha and Ayaan Diddee as Mary and Joseph and Rashid Al-Romaihi, Noah Browne and Hotin Ma singing with their friends in Year 1. Then we were delighted by the Nursery and Reception Concert. It was truly wonderful to see such young children looking so at ease on the stage. The photographs show Mateus Pascoe, Zacharia Khan and Nathaniel Williams on stage. The Christmas theme continued with a very moving Carol Service and I was so proud of the way in which Junior School Choir sang in such an accomplished way. Finally, we have had Christmas parties this week with a wonderful traditional feast prepared at lunchtime, lots of fun games and a surprise visit from Father Christmas. On behalf of all of the staff in Nursery and Junior School, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for everything that you do to help with your sons’ education and for supporting us so whole-heartedly. Thank you also for the very generous gifts and kind words that you have given us. I hope that you all have a wonderful time together with your families over the holidays. Mrs S Funnell | Head of Junior School |
A wonderful term

It is hard to believe that we have reached the end of the boys first term in Nursery and this week has been a wonderful end to an exciting and action packed term. The Christmas Concert was a fantastic success and we were so proud of how well the boys sang and joined in with the actions of the songs. What a great effort from the boys and thank you for all your support supplying such wonderful costumes. Mrs G Ladbury | Head of Nursery |

Spelling Bee Showdown
 |
 |
Week 11 of the Autumn Term saw the annual spelling bee battle ensue between house spelling champs from each year group in Senior School. Year 3/4 contestants set the usual high standard to kick the week off, with Diego Ceccarelli (Y4) coming up trumps for Livingstone House. Runner-up was Matthew Schiff (Y4 Newton) and third was Raeef Mohammadi (Y3 Wren). Fourth place was shared between Zakariya Karim (Y3 Johnson), Sam Williams (Y3 Livingstone), Kush Patel (Y3 Newton) and Zain Momin (Y4 Johnson). A titanic struggle in the Y5/6 event saw Anish Bharadwaj (W1) triumph over his older opponents. Running him a close second was Newtonian Sahil Patel; third and fourth slots went to Samuel O'Tuminu (W1) and Christopher Joseph (J1). A nerve-shredding Senior Final resulted in a battle royal between Johnson and Newton. Having let two 'match points' slip, Sreesh Maheshwar (N1) eventually proved the victor with Daniel Rowlands (J3) a very worthy runner-up. Ameya Dabral (W1) was strong third and fourth place was shared between Pahal Jariwala (N2) and Ishaan Aggarwal(L2) Thank you to all those concerned who made this competition such a success.

We have recently celebrated the reading accomplishments of the first boys to accumulate one million words in their Autumn Term reading. Ahead of the pack was literary leviathan, Jay Ghelani (N3). Hot on his heels, the second and third to this magnificent milestone were Shaurya Jhunjhunwala (Y4 Johnson) and Christopher Joseph (J1) Our other ravenous readers to make a million were Year Five's Anish Bharadwaj (W1) and Peranavan Satheeswaran (N2) along with James Ward (J3) Y6 and Praneil Singh (N2) Y8. Well done lads! We aim to all make a million before the school year is out. Mr M Smith | Head of English |

TV SHOW
Is your child a genius?
I resisted the urge to put an exclamation mark after the question mark! I ask the question because the television programme, Child Genius, is returning for a fourth series and the producers are looking for children (born between 1 September 2003 and 31 August 2007) to be involved. I have no link with the programme and cannot endorse it in anyway but I agreed to let parents know that further information can be found here: http://www.walltowall.co.uk/childgeniusapplication.aspx Dr K McNerney | Head of School |
VISITOR
“Yussef is Complicated”
 |
On 13 November, former Merchant Taylors’ School pupil Vaughn Stein visited to show us his award-winning film, “Yussef is Complicated”. This film won this year’s TIFF Kids Best Short Film Award in Toronto, one of the world’s most prestigious festivals dedicated to films for children, and recently collected a second award in Chicago. Vaughn Stein is a writer and director who has worked on many famous films. He was Assistant Director on “Pride”, “Dad’s Army”, “Les Miserables” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, and worked on “Quantum of Solace” and “Pirates of the Caribbean4”. He has worked with many famous actors including Daniel Craig, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman and Johnny Depp. Vaughn told us a funny story about Johnny Depp, who kept hugging him and asking how it was going, thinking he was a cameraman he knew from another film, until he realised …! “Yussef is Complicated” is about a refugee who escapes from Iraq and comes to England after witnessing everything being taken from his entire family; all he has left to remember them is his tennis ball. When Yussef joins the local school, he struggles to fit it because of his unknown background and isn’t understood by his classmates. This makes them afraid and leads to bullying. Yussef is involved in a playground fight, and the school threatens to send him to a “special school” unless his behaviour improves. His teacher sets an essay called “The Day That Changed My Life” in an attempt to get Yussef to explain himself. Yussef summons the courage to tell his story to all the other pupils and the teachers, who are shocked and moved by what he describes. This feeling is how the film ends, which left all Y7 and 8 pupils stunned. Vaughn chose to use volunteers from Merchant Taylors’ in his film, rather than actors, and shot the film in the grounds of Merchant Taylors’. We enjoyed seeing Old Terryers Jacob Sieradski and Harvey Stevens in crowd scenes. It was an incredibly emotional film which made us realise how lucky we are to have the privileged life we do. For many of us this, story introduced us to the real world of children who live in dangerous places, lose their family and don’t even have food or clean water to drink. At the school, it is evident that the teachers want him to do well but do not know what is going on in Yussef’s head until he lets it out in his essay. This showed us that we must express our feelings so that others have the opportunity to help us go through our lives. After the film, we had a very revealing q & a session with Vaughn. We asked numerous questions about the film such as where he got the idea of Yussef’s story from, to which he answered ‘I based it on 4 or 5 different stories’. It was mainly based on a radio report he heard about a mute boy who washed up on the shores of Italy and slowly picked up the language in order to tell his story to the people there. He also shared with us that there were over 160 auditions. As a group, we all wanted to know which Merchant Taylors’ teacher got him into Drama the most, to which he replied that it was Mr Brown who is still at the School. Another one of the intrigued pupils asked if a long film would come out, to which he said that he has it in his long term plans but he is currently working on a short film of an interview with a Holocaust survivor. The funniest moment was when he shared his growing hate of watching movies because of his urge to critique - so think twice about being involved in the movies! All of Y7 and Y8 wish to thank Vaughn Stein for sharing his film and directing experiences with us. Toby Michaels (Y8/W3) and Tom Groves (Y7/W3) |
U12 Hockey Winners

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With both our U13 and U12 teams reigning champions of the Taylors' Hockey League (THL) from the 2014 season, the pressure was on from the beginning this year. The standard of hockey has improved considerably since the league began back in 2009 with all teams involved winning the title at some point in the league's history. For the last couple of years our teams have benefitted from playing throughout the term against schools outside of the THL and by playing hockey as part of their PE curriculum from September onwards. This year began without loss for both teams at Berkhamsted and the U12 side, in particular, never looked back. After an initial draw at Berkhamsted in the first game of the season (1-1) the U12 team won all of their games, both in THL and weekly fixtures. The THL Final against St. John's on Tuesday 8th December was their biggest of the season and it did not disappoint. After leading 1-0 at half time through a James Keeney shuffle, St. Johns responded with a goal in the first minute of the second half - setting up a frantic second half of end-to-end hockey! With the post hit by both teams, missed penalties and an outstanding double save from Ariyen Patel in goal, it could have gone either way. It was left to our only Y6 pupil to have made the U12 team - Duncan Mallett stepped up for the most important penalty shuffle of the season and chose his reverse side in an attempt to take the keeper off balance. Although around the keeper, he still had work to do against a recovering keeper, and made sure with quick feet to bring the ball back on to his open side to put the ball away (2-1). The final minute will be a blur for most with positions abandoned as every player tried to make a difference. Final score: MTP 2:1 St. John's. This was a truly memorable match between the strongest two teams in the league this year. The success of this season was a team effort in every sense with enormous contributions from all squad members. They were:
"THL was a great experience especially playing under floodlights it seemed to change the atmosphere. I was really proud of the teamwork we were all supporting one another, being a goalkeeper means putting on a lot of equipment which takes a lot of time it but it was good to have a team buddy who was on hand to help me out to get into my gear and help me with my bags." Ariyen Patel

In the past many of you have followed our Sports Tours Twitter page which has provided almost real time information about how the boys were getting on playing football in Barcelona, on expedition in Kent, or more recently, their progress on tour in Barbados. This year we have extended this to include results of fixture results, photographs of teams and any updates related to sport at the school. Everything Sport at Merchant Taylors’ Prep School will be on here and it is linked to all the goings-on in the Senior School, OMT’s and other local schools and clubs who we are involved with.

| Winter Weather Precautions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A reminder to all that January is notoriously cold out on the playing fields of MTP and the boys will need to be prepared. Could you please make sure that your son has a towel for showering and that he has the school tracksuit for all games sessions and matches. Hat and gloves should be worn, and baselayer clothing if possible.

Daily activity is very important for children, and is part of being a healthy child. Exercise helps strengthen their bones and muscles and being active helps children stay fit, and have a feeling of overall well-being. Jogging Plank (Core Stability) A Message from the Director of Football: Football Trials begin on Wednesday 6th January 2016 and after the break over Christmas your son’s level of fitness will be key to success. To give themselves a head start, they might want to spend at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day during the Christmas break. Using the suggestions above, complement these with a range between moderate-intensity activity, such as walking, cycling and playground activities and vigorous-intensity activity, such as fast running, skipping, push-ups, gymnastics, martial arts, football and tennis. These activities will also help meet the weekly muscle and bone-strengthening requirements. Y5-8 please make sure that you have games kit ready to take part on the first day back. The weather is expected to be cold so please ensure that you have the school tracksuit and a towel (compulsory) for each session. Mr D Todd | Director of Sport |

| Tennis Coaching | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Since the introduction of formalised Table Tennis Coaching in 2012, many boys have demonstrated considerable improvement. By the end of Autumn term boys are often thinking about purchasing a suitable table tennis development racket. There really are so many bad rackets (in local sports stores) that could be purchased so we thought we would give you a helping hand with an informed choice that will really help our boys to further develop their game. If you are interested, we are suggesting you have a look at the following - check out a superb table tennis advice site by Ben Larcombe of Expert Table Tennis at the following link: The Palio bats (Expert, Master and Legend) mentioned on the site are really exceptionally good in terms of value and to enable game development, I can't recommend them highly enough (Cefyn Jones - MTP Table Tennis Lead Coach). "The Palio Expert 2 is the perfect bat for players learning the game and starting out. The new blade gives maximum control and great feeling while the high-quality CJ8000 rubbers allow for lots of spin." (starting at £24.99). The bats are beginning to be used more extensively by talented developing players and the results look good - we are looking to buy some for the coaching sessions for boys to try out in Spring Term 2016 in order to further develop our blossoming table tennis players!

| On Thursday, 3rd December, 28 boys from Years 6, 7 and 8 visited Imperial College, London for the Children’s Christmas Lecture. We travelled on the tube which was really fun as this was the first time many of us had been on the tube with school.
Firstly, the lecturer put everything that happened up until the Big Bang (which some people believe in) into just one year; to give us some perspective, humans arrived in the last few minutes of the 31st of December! Then we watched a video of a trip through space to see all the planets in the solar system and their moons. We had to decide which planets humans could possibly live on; there were only a few places we could live on or where life could have evolved, including Mars and some of Jupiter’s moons. Next, Dr Zita Martens displayed some rare meteorite that came from the Meteorite Belt, and then some really scarce ones from Mars and The Moon! She also made a comet ball which released loads of smoke when she mixed the dry ice and other materials together, which was so cool! Finally, we got to see a few different snacks that astronauts could eat in space, such as dried strawberries and afterwards got to try some dried banana; it was yummy! To conclude, this trip was a great experience for all the boys and I would recommend you go to this lecture next year if you have the chance. Tom Groves 7W3

A huge thank you for your fantastic support this term. We had a busy term starting with the Founder’s Day Fiesta, which was enjoyed by all. The boys had a wonderful treat on Mufti Day with the hot chocolate and snacks on offer. Our Firework Spectacular was as always, very well supported and we ended the term with Secrets’ Room where the boys had the opportunity to buy gifts for their beloved parents or siblings. Thank you to everyone who was able to come and to all the volunteers that helped out at all the events. Next term, we are looking forward to a Strictly Salsa evening in March. Look out for the details next term!

Here is a PowerPoint presentation introducing the French Spelling Bee National Competition currently held at Merchant Taylors’ Prep School. It is rather similar to the typical English Spelling Bee competition, except that it is only for Year 7 students. Also, there are potentially four stages to the competition, if students get through each time. This December, we have had the first stage of the competition with twelve students going through to the next stage:
The second stage of the competition will be held during an assembly in the School Theatre before February Half-Term, with only one objective for the twelve contestants: spell as many French words as possible in order to be part of the three students that will get to the next level i.e. the Regional Finals in April. The Final/National stage of the competition will be held in a prestigious school in Cambridge at the beginning of the summer 2016. Mr R Kopel | Head of Modern Foreign Languages |

Here are a few pictures of the Bright Young Sparks Market Day that was held on the 1st of December. Eleven young entrepreneurs attended eight workshops specifically designed for youngsters and aimed at equipping them with an entrepreneurial mindset and basic business and money skills through various fun and engaging techniques. They left the workshops with increased levels of confidence and self-belief, enhanced language and communication skills as well as improved mental arithmetic. At the end of the course, they organised a Market Day, in which they had to sell their home-made products, and then split their profits into three: one third to treat themselves, one third to be saved for a rainy day and one third to be donated to a charity of their choice. Another round of workshops will be held during the Summer term so please do not hesitate to contact me if you think your son may be interested in this fantastic opportunity, anyone from Year 6 to 8 can attend.

On the 9th to the 13th November 2015, Year 7 and Year 8 boys at Merchant Taylors’ Prep School participated in the UK Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge. Raj Shah – Year 7 – 2nd place. Arav Karania-Shah.Year 8 – 1st place After the test, everyone was asking who came first. Four people were asked to stand up. I was trembling at this point, as I was one of the people asked to stand up. One by one, people were asked to sit. I was remaining standing up – the top two in the year. Amazingly, I was asked to keep standing, and my heart leapt with joy. I would have never imagined being first in our age group. The UK Bebras are a great way to test your knowledge, and I would strongly recommend taking the test. It helps improve your mental mind and quick thinking on your feet. “ Arseny Uskov Year 8 – 2nd place Mrs B Hibbert | Head Information Technology |

Interhouse quiz competition 2015
 |
 |
On the penultimate day of term all the boys in Years 3 to 8 participated in the annual Interhouse quiz competition. As usual there was a grand array of pertinent (and perhaps also impertinent) knowledge on show. How many of the adults reading this could successfully identify a song as being by Meghan Trainor, rather than Jess Glynne, Ariana Grande or Iggy Azalea? I didn’t even know whether they were all real people. Do you know why Einstein received the Nobel Prize in 1921? Or what an elephant’s tusks are made of? ‘Ivory’ wasn’t an option… Testing your knowledge against your peers’ knowledge is fun. It is also a useful skill – faced with four answers and with no real idea which one is correct, how much can you work out in thirty seconds to allow an educated guess to be made? Watching it can be entertaining too. I am sorry to report that while there was general agreement about the capital of Bulgaria being Sofia and some consternation about Ian Fleming being the author of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, more members of Newton House in Years 3 and 4 were unable correctly to identify the man who had an apple drop on his head than there were boys in Years 7 and 8 who knew that Meghan Trainor had written the song All About that Bass. There were many noteworthy performances, but special congratulations should go to the following boys, who produced the best performances in their year: Year 3: Samuel Williams (3G) Many of these boys are familiar as members of our inter-school quiz teams, for which I will be recruiting in the new year. So, boys, if you knew that Einstein’s Nobel Prize was awarded for his work on the photoelectric effect (nothing to do with General or Special Relativity) and if you knew that an elephant’s tusks are made of dentine, then you might be just the person we’re looking for for those teams… I would like to thank the many members of staff who helped with the supervision and organisation of this event, which was run by Simon from Quiz Club, and of course the boys themselves for their positive approach to the event. The individual team winners of the events were: Years 3 and 4 – Johnson. Years 5 and 6 – Newton. Years 7 and 8 – Livingstone. The overall winners, by 40 points (out of a total of 2,400: very close, then) were Livingstone: congratulations to them. Mr A McConnell | Head of History |
