St Gabriel’s BLC Poetry Slam
Last Thursday evening primary teams gathered at St Gabriel’s for our annual Spelling Bee. Every year this is a nail biting event, showing off amazing talent from our young teams. This year was no exception. The last man standing competition was very close – ultimately won by Michelle from St John Divine Primary – congratulations Michelle. The teams were very close over all, but well done to St Saviour’s who won the cup for first place. Looking forward to next year’s competition and a huge thank you to the English department for organising a great event.
Royal Institution Maths Master classes conclude for this term
Last Tuesday we completed this term’s set of Master classes, supported by the Royal Institution, for year 5 students. For the last 6 weeks, children from across the cluster have come to St Gabriel’s College each week to learn about different aspects of Maths beyond the curriculum. Topics have included Binary computer language, Special Number – Pi and Phi, Codes and Ciphers and this week Polyhedrons. Alison Eves from the Royal Institution led our session, setting the children a challenge to make regular polyhedrons using a set number of shapes. At the end of the session, the children compared different shapes, counting faces, vertices and edges and concluded – V+F-2=E which is Euler’s Polyhedra Theorem. The children have been very engaged and working hard throughout the series and we look forward to doing more next term.

BLC Science Event for 4 – 14 year olds!
Today children from across our cluster, Nursery through to year 8s, came together to present Science they have been learning in school to each other, hosted by Effra Nursery School. 62 children took part shared work in a variety of areas – properties of Magnets, Green Screen, Sinking and Floating, fruity batteries, what makes food taste sweet and sour, electricity in the human body, states of matter, the solar system, how a bean plant grows and experiments with marshmallow rockets. It was fantastic to see children working together, asking lots of questions and gaining lots of information to share. We were delighted to welcome 2 King’s College, University of London students, one studying Medicine and one studying Chemistry, who joined us for the day to look at the work and talk to children. Parents also joined us for our certificate award ceremony. Next year we shall be working together to progress Science in our schools, so are looking forward to more cross-phase learning opportunities.
