VICARAGE & 50NL · WEEK 13 · FRIDAY 23 NOVEMBER 2012<br />
TEDDY BEAR HOSPITAL COMES TO THE VICARAGE<br />
On Wednes<strong>day</strong> 21 November, medical <strong>st</strong>udents <<strong>st</strong>rong>from</<strong>st</strong>rong> St George’s University<br />
visited <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> Vicarage and transformed <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> <strong>Hall</strong> into a Teddy Bear Hospital. Prep E<br />
and S children brought in <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>ir favourite cuddly toy and learnt how to clean teeth,<br />
take <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>ir temperature, check for a heart beat, bandage and apply pla<strong>st</strong>ers as well<br />
as dress up in real scrubs! The Teddy Bear Hospital is an international project<br />
aimed at reducing childhood anxiety about medical professionals, environments<br />
and procedures. Preps W and N are looking forward to <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>ir surgery next<br />
Wednes<strong>day</strong>.<br />

NOTES FROM THE HEAD<br />
Parking: Please do NOT park across driveways – not<br />
even for ‘ju<strong>st</strong> two minutes’ as it never is! We have had<br />
complaints <<strong>st</strong>rong>from</<strong>st</strong>rong> neighbours who cannot leave <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>ir driveways<br />
to go out, which is utterly unacceptable and brings<br />
<<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> school into disrepute. I am on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> warpath about this.<br />
Scooters and bikes: Please do not leave any scooters or<br />
bikes at school over <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> weekends. 50NL is always open on<br />
Satur<strong>day</strong>s and we cannot <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>refore guarantee that <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>y will<br />
be secure. We would advise taking <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>m home at <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> end of<br />
each <strong>day</strong> as a number have sadly gone missing.<br />
Mrs Sarah Gaham – Head of Lower School<br />
ST ANDREW’S DAY<br />
On Fri<strong>day</strong> 30 November we celebrate St Andrew’s Day<br />
with a piper at each building. Class 3 will be performing<br />
‘The Dashing White Sergeant’ on <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> court at 50<br />
Nightingale Lane and children and parents are invited to<br />
come along and watch – shortbread and hot chocolate<br />
will be available <<strong>st</strong>rong>from</<strong>st</strong>rong> 8.30. Children may wear tartan to<br />
celebrate. Lunch will take on a Scottish <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong>me and <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong><br />
whole school will be treated to haggis or mince (for <<strong>st</strong>rong>the</<strong>st</strong>rong> not<br />
so brave) with neeps and tatties followed by shortbread<br />
and toffee sauce, in true Scottish tradition.<br />
Mrs Sarah Gaham – Head of Lower School<br />
