The last couple of weeks of term saw the runners up and final of our girls football league, at Vauxhall Powerleague. The final match was between Jubilee and Christ Church Streatham primaries. Both teams had been playing excellent football all term, but in the end Jubilee were the winners, with a 3 – 1 score. Thanks to all the teams who took part and played such a great standard of football. Also a big thank you to Vauxhall Powerleague for hosting our games and to Jack at The Black Prince Trust being our referee each week.

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.
