Welcome to NewsHound 2012-13, the magazine about life at Kilburn

Park School.

at Kilburn Park School. The NewsHound team is made up of children in

Year 6 who excel at reading and writing.

This year’s NewsHound Team are:

In our school our head teacher Mr

Keel chooses a book for the whole

school to read, the school works on

the book and presents in other lan-

guages. Some children get chosen to

read half the story in their language

and some don’t , the kids who get

chosen to speak in their language

have 2 weeks to prepare, on a Thurs-

day Mr Keel records them talking in

their language and takes pictures of

them. By Friday everything is ready to

be presented to the rest of the

school.

Bill’s New Frock is about a boy who

wakes up to find ‘’HE IS A GIRL!’’ Will Bill

every get out of this never ending night-

mare or is it a nightmare? Quickly his

mum puts a pretty pink frock on him. As

he was going to school he is whistled at

by the school bullies. A classic novel by

Anne Fine

Mr Keel in a “pink frock”, what was he thinking?

On Monday 12th of November Mr Keel was in a pink frock because of

a book called Bill’s New Frock, come on. Do you think he embarrassed

himself? Everyone laughed, it was hilarious because he came to as-

sembly in Ms Sandhu’s pink dress! Early in the morning, at school, Mr

Keel who was reading the book “Bill’s New Frock” came into assembly

in a pink frock what a joke. I’m sure he wore it just to make us laugh,

it did work, I wonder if he felt comfortable in it even though it was Ms

Sandhu’s pink dress. Do you think he looked terrible?

The fashion monster has struck again! Bringing boy’s fashion to an end

the Monster of Fashion has took Mr Keel by surprise and made him

wear a pink frock! Why has the fashion monster come to Mr Keel, why

not St. Mary’s? Do you think Mr Keel wanted to do this or was he forced

to put on the pretty pink dress what do you think?

During this term students from both year 5

& year 6 have been “working their socks

off” to earn a important place in the mind-

boggling cross-country team approximately

25 students (from Year 5 & year6) rose to

this stunning challenge. But only five boys

had the power to go all the way. Those boys

are:

Ernest (Year 6)

Nyeem (Year 6)

Ijah (Year 6)

Lonit (Year 6)

Ovie (Year 5)

These boys are doing KPS proud, well done

boys!

Kilburn Park School Years 5 & 6 Football Team today secured a second round place in the Brent Cup 2012/13 by thrashing Cup holders Barham Primary School by 8 goals to nil. The match at The Pavilion in Stonebridge was a tightly fought game until the eighth minute when Ijah Smith-Dockery laid the ball into the path of Luis Mendes who struck the ball cleanly into the corner of the net to put Kilburn Park 1-0 up. Barham came back strongly but found the defence work of Jahmai hard to break through. Kilburn Park made many more chances in the first half with Lonit Talla going very close with a Ibrahimovic-like bicycle kick effort.

The second half started with Kilburn Park 1-0 ahead, although the Cup holders must have fancied their chances of coming back. But the team in bright orange (Kilburn Park) had other ideas as Luis latched onto a great pass from Lonit and cracked home the second goal. KPS then dominated the cup-tie, leading to an avalanche of goals starting with Abdi scoring after skilful work from Ijah. Quickly after this, Lonit made it 4-0. Moments later with the Barham goalie suffering from shock, Nyeem Mackay took advantage by smashing in a long range effort. 5-0. Nyeem's over the top goal celebrations must have concerned the referee but he escaped a booking! The same player then crossed a wonderful ball into the centre of the penalty area and reliable finisher Luis tucked it away for his hat-trick—6-0! Coach Mr Canning then made a good tactical change by putting Ern-est into the forward line and this immediately paid off as Ernest scored after a great pass from Jahiem. KPS Seven to the advantage. With one minute to go Ijah beat two players and found Nyeem who shot at goal - the goalie got a hand to it and the ball was heading in - Nyeem turned to celebrate his goal but Abdi tapped it in before it crossed the line. 8-0! Our Arsenal Goalie, Ovie was not real-ly troubled at all during the match—maybe because he looked so confident! Kilburn Park will now meet the winners of Our Lady of Lourdes School and Oak-ington Manor School in the second round
