Championing Languages Mr Russell

The Modern Foreign & Community
Languages Faculty celebrated with the
class of 2019 at their award evening in
November. MFCL Faculty Champion was awarded to
Pedro (pictured with Mr Russell, Head of Faculty).
Pedro achieved Grade 9 in Spanish, his chosen option
MFL, Grade 8 in Italian and Grade A* in Portuguese,
taken in Y10. We congratulate this talented linguist and
we are proud that we could equip him with multiple
language qualifications for the next phase of his
education and for later in life. The Community
Languages programme promotes and celebrates the
multi-lingual, multi-cultural diversity of the school
population and the wider community we serve. Last
summer, there were sixty-three additional GCSE entries in a
wide range of home languages, providing an extra qualification for our pupils.

The Year 8
pupils were fortunate enough to
attend the massively popular West
End show ‘The Lion King’. With lots of
excitement over the remake of Disney’s Lion King,
this was a fantastic opportunity to witness the Lion
King in real life. Our pupils were blown away by the
incredible set, catchy powerful songs and the
life-size animals parading through the audience! For
some of our pupils this was the first time visiting a
West End theatre- and it did not disappoint!

Ms Coltelli

Years 7-9 poetry competition: entries have been flying in
from RDA’s budding poets for this term’s poetry writing
competition. Each year has a focus related to their area of
study in class, with year seven exploring the theme of
journeys, year eight writing about a place, in particular
their home city of London and year nine the notion of
identity. Mr Brown and Ms Ayerman are keenly awaiting
the deadline at the end of term to begin judging for
prizes and compiling pupils’ work into an anthology.

British Museum Trip: Following our study of Greek Gods in
English, a group of 15 Year 7 pupils visited The British Museum to see the Ancient Greek artefacts. Whilst there, we
were able to see the Temple of Athena as well as learn about Zeus, Poseidon and Athena. We were also lucky enough
to be able to use the Samsung Technology Suite and the pupils used green screen technology to superimpose
themselves directly into Ancient Greece!

Trip to Felstead

On 4th November: Staff and
pupils visited Year 11
Sociology pupils at RDA and
took part in lessons and team
building exercises to try to
build links between the
schools and to give both sets
of pupils a chance to meet
people that they would not
normally encounter and
therefore build cultural
capital. It was a complete
success and resulted in them
giving us 6 more places for
our pupils at their summer
camp.

Mr Watkins

Physical Education
The year 10 football
team have made significant improvements this year
and had a fantastic 2-1 win over fierce local rivals Kingsford
last week. Royal Docks took the lead through an Emmanuel
strike but were pegged back just before half time. Docks
were unlucky to have a goal struck off for
offside when a beautiful flowing move involved Reece,

Rio, Dionisio, Orlando and Josh resulted in Marc slotted
home.

In the second half, Archie was the hero, saving brilliantly
from the penalty spot and denying Kingsford with two more
excellent saves. Royal Docks won the game, when
Osabouhien remained alert in the penalty area and coolly
finished from 10 yards out to seal an excellent win. The boys move on next week to the next round of the London cup.

Congratulations to: Reece , Rio , Dionisio , Archie , Marc , Josh , Aleks , Gabriel , Emmanuel , Orlando , Joseph , Jayden
and Paul

Mr Woolsgrove

Royal Docks participated in the
inter-school competition,
“Battle of the Bands”.

This was a competition which included 3 other schools which had a
number of groups taking part. Although our school only had 2
groups, they showed great effort and resilience.
Although our school didn’t win, our pupils did very well whilst

representing our school. I have listed the names below and would
appreciate if you could congratulate them if you see them.

HISTORY

When Black History month is celebrated every October, the focus often tends to be
on Black Americans. We hear a lot about the struggles that black Americans faced
and how they overcame many of the racist obstacles that have been put in their way
throughout the last 500 years. We rightly celebrate the fantastic achievements made
by black American inventors, writers, scientists and civil rights leaders; but we often
forget to celebrate our own, home-grown black heroes. The history department wanted to turn the focus
on Black British History this year. Here are some of the stories we shared with our pupils this October.

Claudia Jones – A journalist originally from Trinidad
and Tobago Jones went to live in the USA as a child.
She was deported from the USA for fighting for
black civil rights. She then came to the UK and
started Britain’s first major black newspaper ‘West
Indian Gazette’ and used its pages to campaign
against racism in housing, education and
employment in Britain. She is probably best known
as the person who organised the first Notting Hill
Carnival in 1959

The Bristol Bus Boycott – Between 1948 and 1970 nearly half
a million West Indians left their homes in the
Caribbean to come to live in Britain. They were all British Citi-
zens and had come in answer to a request by the British gov-
ernment for workers to help rebuild Britain. Despite this,
they faced terrible racism and abuse when they
arrived. In 1963 4 young West Indian men, inspired by the
civil rights actions in the USA, decided to challenge the
‘colour bar’ on the buses in Bristol by starting a bus
boycott. Black Bristolians and white supporters boycotted for
4 months, until the bus company gave in and the ‘colour bar’
was lifted. This meant they would no longer stop people of
colour from working on the buses. On 17 September, Raghbir
Singh, a Sikh, became Bristol’s first non-white bus conductor.
This action led to the passing of the Race Relations Act which
made illegal, any discrimination in public places.

The First Black British M.Ps - The 1987 General Election was an historic election Ms Molloy
for BAME representation. Bernie Grant, Diane Abbott, Paul Boateng, Keith Vaz
were all elected as MPs in the 1987 General Election.

It had been almost 60 years since the last British Asian had been elected to
parliament, and there had never been black MPs before this. These MPs paved
the way for more and more people from Black and Ethnic Minority communities
to believe that their voices could be heard and that they, themselves, could get
involved in politics.

In the 2017 election 51 BAME members of Parliament were elected. Although
this is still only around 8% of the MPs in Parliament, it is the most there have
ever been.
It has been predicted that the new House of Commons (after the 2019 election)
is set to be the most ethnically diverse group of MPs we will have ever seen,
with possibly 67 BAME Members of Parliament.

Year 7 pupils visited ‘Centre of the cell’ in the Blizard Institute where
they had hands on experience of viewing and playing fun games with
different cells of the body. They also had the opportunity to see live human organs and how
certain life style choices like smoking could affect the lungs. The pupils enjoyed their day and
learnt a lot from their experience at the Institute.

This term we had

Message from Ms Kioi Head of Year 7 and transition

It has been a very successful term. I have been absolutely impressed by the resilience demonstrated by year 7 pupils in
settling down into secondary school life. The quality of classwork and homework; the fluid transition of moving from
lesson to lesson and passion for after school clubs has been impressive. Pupils’ commitment to learning, passion and

zeal for academic excellence has been evident across the year group and progress made has been substantial.
Throughout the term, the pupils have been involved in different activities. Such Pupils include Jedona,

Rachel and Matheus (Yr 7), who represented the school and London Borough of Newham in the London County
Schools championship. This is a great achievement for the pupils and the school and a huge congratulations them.

Year 7 pupils have worked really hard to gain achievement points this year and it is my
pleasure to announce the Top Ten in Year 7:

Year 6 Opening evening

Year 7 pupils along with pupils from other year
groups were enthusiastically involved in the year
6 open evening. They spoke to prospective pupils
and parents about their experiences in year 7.
Visitors were impressed by the maturity and
eloquence displayed by our pupils.

Year 9 have made a fantastic start to Ms Kioi
the new academic year.

the majority of the year group are conducting themselves in
lessons and around the school in general. When visiting their
lessons, they are engaged and focused on their learning. Teachers
are pleased with the attitude of pupils and the fantastic work they
are producing. The maturity they have returned to school with is
noticeable, many of their teachers have commented on this.
Attendance and punctuality are crucial at this stage in their
education and most pupils are on time everyday with a good
attitude towards their learning. We are finishing this term with the
second highest attendance as a year group. Well done year 9, it is
amazing to see so many pupils working hard.

Year 10 visit the National Portrait Gallery

On Saturday 30th November 2019, impressively a group

of year 10 pupils visited the National Portrait Gallery

(just off Trafalgar Square). We were treated to a tour

around the gallery. We were given a talk about specific

famous paintings. Pupils got to see Tudor portraits from

St. Thomas More, Sir Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII,

Edward, Mary and Elizabeth. I was particularly excited

that they were introduced to the works of Hans Holbein.

They were able to view the original paintings of the

young Henry VIII. As we moved through the gallery, we

were able to see Hogarth’s own self portrait. Pupils were

educated about his famous paintings of London. This was a relaxing Saturday

morning in London. After 90 minutes in the gallery we went for coffee and

wandered along the Mall which had been decorated with the flags for the

NATO summit. We finished off the trip with a walk to Buckingham Palace and

on to Hyde Park. A great day in our fabulous city! Ms Newman

Message from Ms Tinsley – Head of Year 11

This Term, our focus has been on ensuring we are prepared; prepared for the PPE exams, prepared for our
Post-16 education through our college applications, and prepared for our end of year celebrations!
Throughout the final few weeks of this Term, Year 11 have been completing their PPE exams, I have been
very impressed with their maturity, their positive attitude and how sensible they have all been. These ex-
aminations give us a good indication of what the pupils know now, and which gaps need to be plugged be-
fore the next round of PPEs in March, and then the real GCSE examinations in the summer of 2020. It is the
responsibility of each of our Year 11 pupils to ensure they are ready, that they have revised and learnt the
knowledge they need to be successful. Their teachers will support and guide them every step of the way,
but each pupil is responsible for their work in the examination, so they must continue their revision out-
side of school time. I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable festive break. We have one full Term left, so
we MUST make it count. Enjoy Christmas if you are celebrating, take some time to spend with family and
friends, and I look forward to welcoming you back in the new decade!

I’d like to also congratulate the following pupils who

Message from Miss Tinsley – Citizenship teacher - Year Councils

This Term, we held another Year Council meeting, this time with our newly elected Year 7 Representatives. The Year
Councils comprise of two Reps from each Tutor Group in each Year Group and their meetings are chaired by members
of the SSLT. This time, we were discussing how to effectively encourage our school to recycle more, how we can
celebrate the British Values more, and any feedback from the Tutor Groups. Here are some pictures of the meetings,
and don’t forget to follow us on Twitter - @StudentVoiceRDA.

General Election – Mock Election at RDA

On Thursday 12th December, the United
Kingdom went to the polls to vote for their
local MP, and at Royal Docks, we held our
own mock election. The Year 9 and 10
Citizenship GCSE pupils became candidates
for the main parties, wearing their rosette to
indicate which party they were standing for, and the other
pupils were able to quiz them on the policies. In Tutor time, we
discussed why we were having an election only two years after
the last one, and we investigated the various policies the
parties promised in their manifestos; from Brexit to the
NHS, from education to the economy.

Each Tutor Group had their own
ballot box and ballot papers to
vote, as well as polling stations
set up in the Reception and the
Head Teachers’ PA’s office. At
Lunch time, Year 9, 10 and 11
pupils volunteered to count the
votes.

The final result was that the Labour Party won, polling 510 Ms Tinsley
votes, which is a massive 76% of the vote. A big well done to
everyone who took part in the democratic process.

Pupils in the Resourced Provision this term have been learning about cooking simple Italian dishes that
they chose. Pupils went to the school library to choose Italian cook books , pupils looked through the
books and chose the three dishes they will make. They chose to make bolognaise, bruschetta, pizza all
dishes were made from scratch! Pupils worked as a team while learning new cooking skills.
Pupils were encouraged to work independently!

16

Encouraging Independence – Research shows, independent learners make the
most progress. With this mind attached are the topics of study for core subjects when we
return in January. Some subject teachers have highlighted places to visit, books to read or
programmes to watch that may better prepare them for the upcoming topics.
Please encourage your child to do as much as possible to ensure they have the best
possible start to school in the new year.
Listed below are a number of online resources available to pupils.
All pupils have been registered to access GCSE POD, an online resource that has numerous
instructional videos for almost all GCSE subjects.
