Welcome
I do love the summer term! It is always busy but full
of so many lovely events to enjoy and often, some
glorious weather too!
With a late Easter this year, we have had two short half terms; only five weeks in each!
However, we never say, ‘This is a short term so let’s cut back on what we would
normally try to fit in.’ Oh no, we just brace ourselves and on we go!
Our first half of term started with the Alderley Edge Festival. As usual, AESG had quite
a presence there and once again, came away with many of our girls being placed in
their musical classes and of course those linked to Speech and Drama.
Our annual residential trips for Years 3, 4 and 6 dominated this half term with Year 6
travelling to Glaramara in the Lake District and Years 3 and 4 to the Hollowford Centre
in Castleton. These are fantastic opportunities for the girls to experience time away
from their families, learning to be independent and resilient, too. The weather was
mixed but spirits were never dampened and great fun was had by all. I was fortunate
to have the opportunity to join the Year 4 trip this year; it is so nice to see the girls in a
setting away from school. It’s equally lovely, I am sure, for them to see their teachers
a different light too!
The second half of term involved two Sports Days, three performances of ‘The Little
Mermaid’, Moving Up Day, the Year 6 Exhibition and Speech Day. All this goes on
whilst working hard to accomplish all that we need to in the curriculum, along with
assessments, class assemblies, sports fixtures… to name but a few. It is no wonder
that the time flies!
This year, however, all of these events are tinged with sadness knowing that it is the
last time that I shall be involved in these at AESG. I really have enjoyed a wonderful ten
(almost) years here as Deputy Head, then Head of the Junior School.
I have loved getting to know, not only our girls but our parents too; the ‘open door’
relationship that we have here really does contribute to the special atmosphere that
prevails in the Junior School.
I have also really enjoyed, and been grateful for, the great team of staff that we have.
The teaching staff, support staff and the incredible Mrs Fogg has meant that so much
has been accomplished and with a lot of fun and laughter in the background too.
I shall miss everyone very much but wish you all, and AESG itself, every success in the
future.

Farewell
Ms Howard!
Ten Questions for Ten Years
“After almost ten years at AESG, we bid farewell to Ms Howard. She has been an
outstanding Deputy and Head of the Junior School and we will all miss her calm,
fair and dedicated approach to school life. The girls are at the centre of everything
she does and this is what has made her such a special and successful member
of our team. We will all miss her dreadfully but we wish her every happiness and
success for the next stage of her career! However, we couldn’t let her go without

Resilience
Our pupils all have the potential to
achieve wonderful things in life. They
may have skills in sport, academia, music
or art, for instance, or they may have the
personality required to nurture or inspire
others in life. Whatever their skills, they all
have the potential to achieve in whatever
field they might choose, but one
ingredient that they will certainly require
along the way is resilience.
Throughout our lives, from being young through to adulthood,
life is full of challenges and one of our jobs as educators and
parents, is to help build resilience in the children we care so
much about.
As teachers we are constantly encouraging girls to ‘have a go’
and to not be afraid of the possibility of failure. This applies to all
areas of the curriculum from Science and Art to Sport. Resilient
girls are curious, prepared to make mistakes and learn from
them. They have the ability to bounce back when things don’t go
quite as planned.

Our residential trips in Years 3-6, have an important part to
play in this. Girls spend time away from the security of home
and family, and face new challenges, some of which definitely
take them out of their comfort zone.
Mrs Sherville-Payne writes about Year 6’s adventures in the
Lake District this year.
“As teachers, every time that we take the girls from the Junior
School on a residential trip, we experience moments of pure
wonder and joy when we see someone push themself to
achieve either an emotional or physical feat. Our trip with Year
6 to Glaramara House in the Lake District this year was no
exception; all girls showed resilience and strength of character
in order to achieve their goals.
We were blessed with fabulous weather once again, so the
girls were able to try rock-climbing on the side of a rock face
called ‘Woden’s Face’. The Vikings would have been proud
of them. Several girls who might normally be considered
quiet or unassuming scaled the cliff like spider women to
cheers from their classmates. Correspondingly, some of those
with stronger voices who found the climbing more mentally
challenging, were encouraged from below to overcome their
fears and trust in the techniques that they had been taught, in
order to reach the top. The girls’ courage during this activity
was remarkable to see.
To our bemusement, the girls’ favourite activity was the coldest
and wettest. Ghyll-scrambling involves climbing up the bed of
a stream, diving into pools, crawling through a tunnel under
the road and being sacrificed to the Viking gods in a waterfall.
They had to find the strength to enter the water at the start and
then overcome each obstacle in the stream, whilst nursing icy
fingers and toes. All this was done with enthusiastic splashing
and a cheery smile. By the end of the activity, the girls could
barely feel their fingers or remove their waterproofs. Never
again will they take a hot shower for granted – but they had
loved the challenge!
At the end of the trip, we bring home girls who have tales to tell
of great daring. They faced demons of all sorts and survived;
for some it was the first time that they had stayed away from
home. They are stronger and wiser characters and they have
moved one step closer to becoming the independent women
of the future.”

Where My
Wellies Take
Me Do you remember those glorious sunny
days as a child where you pulled on your
wellies and wandered off, not knowing
where they may take you? Clare and
Michael Morpurgo have produced a truly
idyllic compilation of poems looking at
nature in an environment very similar to
the leafy countryside around Alderley
Edge. It has inspired the girls in Reception
to appreciate the beautiful world we live
in and look closely at the things that live
and grow naturally around us.
We examined the structure of cherry blossom and used different
techniques to make billowing branches of pink candyfloss.
It has been amazing to look at the migration of swallows and
the distinct shape of these graceful birds. We explored why
they sit on telephone wires and looked at the telephones our
grandparents used compared to the mobile phones of today.
The text contains the poem ‘The Owl and The Pussy Cat’ by
Edward Lear and we had lots of fun acting out the poem and
thinking about the unusual language he used. We made a list of
minibeasts and thought about how they move, so we could write
our own version of the Christina Rossetti classic ‘Hurt No Living
Thing.’ It was fascinating finding out about bees and looking at
how they produce honey, and watching our very own caterpillars
transform into beautiful butterflies.
The story follows the travels of a little girl, Pippa, as she passes
through farmland and the magnificent animals she meets. It
was wonderful to see these creatures up close at Tatton Park
Farm and hunt for minibeasts in the gorgeous gardens. We
milked a pretend cow and fed the chickens out of our hands.
It was wonderful to see the excellent mathematical thinking
and problem solving they used to find their way through the
maze. The girls used their amazing phonics skills to write non-
fiction facts about the different farm animals, developed their
vocabulary with new words such as ‘herbivore’ and examined
the process of producing wool from the fleece of a sheep.
We are very proud of our Reception pupils and all they have
achieved through investigating, playing and exploring. They
have become resilient learners and critical thinkers. It has been
delightful to watch them blossom... just like the lovely cherry trees.

Library Appeal
On Thursday 9 May we held our special Library Appeal Event which launched our
first ever capital appeal at the School. The school is aiming to raise £125,000 for the
complete refurbishment of our Junior and Senior Libraries. The development will also
enable our Learning Enhancement Centre to become a separate learning environment.
We were joined at the event by Ella Duffy, poet and daughter of former Poet Laureate
Carol-Ann Duffy, who spoke about the importance of libraries and bookshops. In
addition, Laura Earnshaw, founder of myHappymind, talked about the positive impact
that reading has on mental health and wellbeing.
A special thank you goes to Aman Bhakar in Year 8 who spoke about her love
of reading and how it inspired her entry in to the BBC Radio 2 500 Word Competition,
in which she was a national finalist. If you would like to support our appeal in any
way and help us to reach our target, please contact Debbie Dawson, Director of
Development on 01625 588045 or email ddawson@aesg.co.uk

The Happy Puzzle Company Workshop
As part of the STEAM Week activities, Karen Wood from
The Happy Puzzle Company, came into AESG to run a full day
workshop that tested the brains and the resolve of our girls.
This workshop equipped the students with the skills to
work through real life challenges and situations, allowing
them to respond with awareness, creativity and deliberate
strategies, in order to achieve a positive outcome. This
helps to build resilience and encourages perseverance.
Each year group was set puzzle challenges which, as
groups, they had to complete. The puzzles were demanding
and the groups needed to communicate effectively, identify
and deploy the knowledge of each team member and draw
upon their logical reasoning and maths skills.
One of the puzzles tackled by Year 3 and 4 was the Fraction
Formula Challenge – where the main focus was applying
past knowledge to new situations, managing impulsivity
and thinking interdependently. The teams each received
three test tubes and a series of fraction chunks. The aim
was to fill all of the test tubes perfectly. This challenge
helped the participants to use their knowledge gained from
previous experiences (in this case learning about fractions)
to be used in different contexts.
At the end of the school day, many girls brought their
families back to the ‘Family Puzzle Workshop’. All the girls
and the family members were engaged, had fun and gained
a great deal from this ‘out of the classroom’ experience.
Many thanks to the PFA for their very generous funding of
the workshop.

Parent
Workshops
‘Home Work Maths’ by Mrs Bains
Over the years, many parents have asked me the same question: “How can I
help my daughter at home?” People are often surprised when I don’t offer extra
worksheets, but talk about the ‘real life’ opportunities to develop maths skills that
really develop confidence in the subject, outside of the classroom.
With this in mind, I ran a workshop for parents, ‘Home Work
Maths’.
The workshop began by circulating the year-level mathematics
expectations for Years 1, 2 and 3 and understanding what
needs to be achieved by the pupils in this subject. Then, we
quickly moved onto practical activities and ideas on how
to use everyday situations and tasks, such as tidying up
the toys, shopping and eating out, as opportunities to use
mathematical operations and language.
This was a well-attended practical and fun workshop. Thank
you to everyone who attended, joined in with the Lego and
received a merit!
This workshop will run again during Autumn Term 2019-2020
for anyone who wasn’t able to attend.
“I thought the maths workshop
was great. I took away some
simple and practical ideas I
can implement out of school,
as well as recognising that I
need to get the girls wearing
a watch!”

The highlight of the Junior School Netball season is arguably

in the knowledge that their netball season had gone well,
and that they had yet to be beaten. With 16 teams present, it
promised to be an exciting yet challenging day.
The girls had a magnificent start versus Stockport Grammar
School, recording a 14:2 victory. In their second match, the
girls showed dominance throughout, winning 16:0, followed
by a 17:0 win against Kirkham Grammar. By topping their
group, the girls secured their place in the cup semi-final
against hosts, King’s School Macclesfield.
The semi-final began and our girls were on fire. Everyone
upped their game and stuck to their task to record a fantastic
15:1 victory on the home team’s turf.
Entering the final, the girls faced a strong and undefeated
Bolton School team. What a final this was! It was goal for

absolutely brilliant netball, playing with grit and determination.
Bolton pushed back in the second half in their attempt to take

fantastic achievement!

Year 6
Exhibition
The Year 6 Exhibition is a celebration of the learning which the girls have
experienced throughout their Junior School years. Higher level academic skills,
which will apply in Senior School school and beyond, are developed as part
of the process. These include research gathered from a range of sources then
referencing these sources; creating surveys recording results and drawing
conclusions. Expressive interpretation through art, music, dance and drama are
encouraged as part of the exhibition.
The process of learning through the Exhibition is as important
as the product; learning how to select and redefine information
from a range of sources and then present it in a relevant and
engaging way. The girls are encouraged to reflect on their
ideas at every stage of the process, thus discovering more
about themselves as learners.
The process of working on the Year 6 Exhibition begins with
exploring ideas as a year group, working in small groups and
in pairs to refine the skills needed to pursue an individual
project. Real life issues such as pollution are discussed and
investigated, where the girls are encouraged to offer solutions
and take action.
Each girl then selects a topic she would like to study in more
depth. As part of the reflection process, these topics are often
refined or changed in the early days of gathering information.
However, once a firm decision has been made, the girls are
then guided through the process of research, development
and presentation of ideas and knowledge leading to a display
and individual presentation to visitors.
As many girls as possible are assigned a mentor outside
of Year 6. Mentors provide invaluable help from discussing
original ideas, developing lines of enquiry, assisting with
resources or just to be an encouraging sounding board. This
year we are delighted to have mentors from across the whole
school.
The range of topics under consideration this year was
tremendous, from Gymnastics to Knife Crime! As teachers, it
is extremely rewarding to work with the girls on areas about
which they are passionate. The Exhibition, presented on 24
June was lively, informative and exciting. Well done to all of
our Year 6 students, we are incredibly proud of you all.
