The muddled iconography of women bishops
A Church of England decision adds to the confusion about the meaning of priesthood.

Last week, while the Church of England was deciding to ordain women bishops, Marvel Comics promised one of its leading characters a sex change. The Mighty Thor is about to come out as female. Are these two moves connected? Are they a great leap forward for humanity, or a reckless leap into the dark?
Both decisions can be traced to the 20th century credo that girls can do anything and therefore must be allowed to enter every occupation and rise to the top, preferably in equal numbers. That there would be female Anglican bishops was a foregone conclusion the day the first woman priests were ordained, which was, in some parts of the Anglican communion, back in the 1970s.
By contrast, the Thor move seems a bolt from the blue. The Washington Post notes: "We've seen female heroes taking over for male heroes before, but has it ever been a mantle this big? Thor is royalty at Marvel — within the pages of the comics and in the halls of Marvel editors." Marvel has leapt ahead of the church by creating the equivalent of a female Archbishop of Canterbury, or even a pope – if only the Anglicans had one.
Fanboys are peeved, but Marvel editor Axel Alonso promised when he took over to make its universe as diverse as its readership, and female readership has become a force in the comic-book industry.
In the church, women have always occupied more pews, so the diversity argument is even stronger in the ecclesiastical context. All clerical orders will now reflect the diversity of membership.
"I'm delighted to see women finally able to exercise their gifts within the Anglican Church's highest positions of leadership," wrote Jemima Thackray in The Telegraph. And Tom Sutcliffe, a member of the Church of England synod who opposed women bishops in 2012 but voted for them this time, told the Guardian that it would bring an "episcopal femininity" that would enrich the church.
But will it? After 40 years of female priests and more recently some bishops, there's little sign of a distinctly feminine transformation yet.
The ladies are still turning out in unfeminine clerical collars and cumbersome liturgical robes. Admittedly, they have enhanced the latter with attractive designs, but their everyday public image is that of women dressed up as men, and doing tiresome manly work like asserting their authority over church affairs -- as Christchurch (New Zealand) Bishop Victoria Matthews has had to do in a long drawn out argument over the fate of the earthquake-damaged Christchurch Cathedral.
It is difficult to shake off the impression that priesthood does not suit women, that they were not meant for each other. And there are good reasons why this is so.
No reasonable person disputes that women are able to do the "job" of an Anglican bishop: the liturgical role, preaching, teaching, administration, sitting in the House of Lords – whatever it takes. Of course they can. The objections have always been theological: for evangelicals, the teaching of St Paul about the headship of men over women; for Anglo-Catholics, breaking with the 2000-year-old tradition going back to Christ himself, who called only men to form the foundation of his church – a break which would put paid to eventual reunion with the Roman Catholic Church.
Coming from a Catholic perspective, my understanding is that the sacramental character of the priest as an icon of Christ is the heart of the matter. According to St Paul the church is the body of Christ, who is its Spouse and Head. There's a whole cluster of anthropological and theological concepts at work in this aspect of Pauline theology (and other parts of the Bible) which would take a book to tease out, but they boil down to the fact that the whole church, men and women, is feminine (receptive) in relation to Christ, and that the priest in his key sacramental role represents Christ, who gives his whole life for and to her.
Anglicans, of course, are free to write the rules for their own church. However, they ought to be confident that this theological tradition is not arbitrary, but reflects the biological and metaphysical reality of the sexes.
Generally speaking, women have a natural talent for the tasks related to the physical and emotional care of the person which comes with their capacity for motherhood. Men's special talents tend to lie in the field of analysis, technical creativity, use of natural resources, and the ordering of society – for the sake of the small society which is the family.
This view of things is, of course, a heresy deserving of burning at the stake in a society where feminism and gender theory hold sway, but Christianity has always taken the body seriously and this helps to explain why the priesthood has always been male. It makes good human sense as well as theological sense and I think conservative Anglicans are right to hold out for it.
To repeat, it is not that women are incapable of masculine virtues and roles, or that men cannot exercise the feminine strengths. They can and they do. What's important is that both the masculine and the feminine tasks get done, and the most rational way of guaranteeing that seems to be for men and women to specialise to some degree in what comes naturally to them.
In this way, perhaps, both women and men get to be "icons" of Christ, without the necessity for ordination, as they represent and give witness to different aspects of his love for the human being.
Mind you, men can hardly match women in terms of self-sacrifice, the most noble of human virtues. Motherhood, the vocation of all women in one way or another, is a call to give oneself completely, in terms of personality, time, effort and one's very body. For Christian women it is a sharing in the total self-giving of Christ.
By this measure women have always had the "top job" in the church open to them. Ordaining women simply muddles the iconography of the sexes and robs men of a vocation which, when allowed its full strength, allows them to be as self-sacrificing as their sisters.
I feel that this is a theological reflection which needs further study. The argument for women priests and bishops is that it makes them equal to men. The truth is that the priesthood makes it possible for men to be equal to women.
Today secular society replaces The Mighty Thor with a female surrogate; tomorrow she will be thrown out for something else. It doesn't matter. But tampering with deep religious and human traditions is a leap in the dark, or rather, a leap which darkens our understanding of human destiny. Unfortunately the darkness just got a little more profound in the Anglican Church.

As the sun made a rare personal appearance over the Bank Holiday weekend, we were invited out west to see Arundel Castle.
Arundel Castle is an impressive 11th century structure in the small town of Arundel in West Sussex. It's a very castley-castle, if you know what I mean. Not just a pile of ruins, it's the full ancestral pile.
It's served as a location for the films The Young Victoria and The Madness of King George and – best of all in our opinion – a 1988 episode of Doctor Who called Silver Nemesis.
The other thing that's interesting about Arundel Castle is that it's still lived in today by the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk and their children. I guess they must clear out of the way when visitors are about. Or possibly hide in the suits of armour? I would totally do that if I lived in a castle. One day maybe.
We went along on Saturday when a full on seige was in progress. This was a special event for Bank Holiday Weekend, though the castle hosts regular events throughout the year. If I'm going for a day trip I always like to go when something extra is happening – means you get more for your money.
The mock seige was enacted by over 200 volunteers with cannons, arrows, men in battle armour and all sorts of medieval malarkey going on. Great fun, like Horrible Histories come to life.
Arundel's grounds have plenty of highlights tucked away. We loved the spinning crown fountain in Oberon's Palace, the beautiful gardens and walkways.
It doesn't get a mention on the website, but there's also a mini-zoo in the grounds (extra charge payable – £1 for adults, 50p for children) which has birds, Shetland ponies, rabbits, tortoises and meerkats. The meerkats were pretty lively – we couldn't decide whether they were fighting or mating so in the end we left them to it.
Other things to do include visiting the interior rooms and castle keep so pack some comfy shoes. There's a coffee shop and larger restaurant when you need a rest.
Arundel Castle is around 45 minutes' drive from Brighton. It's fairly close to Butlins at Bognor Regis and makes a good day trip if you're staying in the resort.
It's also right next to a wetland centre and bird sanctuary, and the town of Arundel is very pretty and worth a visit so there's plenty to do for a full day out.
Tickets operate on a tiered system and start at £8 per person. This gets you access to the garden and grounds, chapel and coffee shop/restaurant. Children under 5 get in free.
The grounds open at 10 but the castle rooms don't open until 12.
Think in advance which areas you are most interested in and which level of ticket will be best for you. Obviously this is an old building and therefore there are lots of steps involved in touring the castle. If mobility is an issue, or you have a child in a pram, then the grounds might be enough for you.
We were given Gold+ tickets for the purposes of review – these tickets get you access to everywhere including the castle bedrooms which are still in use. We enjoyed looking round the interior rooms a lot but then we are total history nerds and a bit nosy too so it was right up our street.
Anyone with an interest in history or gardening; a mixed-generation family group; visitors from overseas who want to see a real, working stately home; nosy history nerds who like looking in posh strangers' bedrooms.
Have you been to Arundel? What's your favourite castle to visit?

This page gives a flavour of the exciting whole school projects that take place at Torriano. Specialists from areas including the Arts and Sciences help our children to understand the world in which they live in a fun and engaging way.
On Tuesday, Year 2 were visited by Lindsay, a volunteer for Greenpeace. Lindsay explained to us the effect of deforestation on the habitats of different critically endangered animals and the part palm oil farming has to play in this. We created posters in order to help others become aware of this growing problem, all of which will be available on the Greenpeace website very soon!
A highlight of Autumn 18 was undoubtedly the Year 3 and 6 STEAM exhibition 'The Future is…Light'. Both year groups did not fail to amaze in their understanding of the scientific concepts of light but also in their insights about how the unsustainable use of artificial lighting impacts our beautiful environment.
Through learning about the history of lighting, Year 6 learnt about ancient, current and new sources of light. Our future will only become more sustainable with smart lighting and a more sustainable consumption of lighting. Equipped with this knowledge, the children designed and created their own sustainable light product prototypes- some of them operated by sensor lighting and others run by renewable energy sources. Using micro:bit coding we explored how these products could be programmed. In English, with SDG 12 and 13 at the forefront of our minds, we wrote persuasive proposals to persuade our community to invest in smart lighting and/or change their light consumption habits. In Science, our study of reflection and refraction culminated in a dazzling 3D sculpture inspired by the incredible artist Olafur Eliasson. The makings of this 3D sculpture involved learning about one and two point perspective- a key skill for engineers and architects.
The STEAM exhibition enabled the children to explain and discuss their discoveries, new knowledge and opinions with visitors of all ages helping them become confident speakers and active contributors - "I'm not nervous about speaking in front of lots of people now — talking about our light poetry during the exhibition made me realize it's quite fun!" (Jake, year 3). The Autumn STEAM term started with the children working with photographers as part of the Tate Britain — London Identity Photography Installation with Steve McQueen. After investigating what light is and how it travels, they explored how light has been used in the past, present and future. Entering, making and then instructing others on how to create working Pin Hole Cameras; writing light poetry; investigating gender stereotypes through self portraits and coding light sensitive robots were only a few of the engineering, artistic, technical and scientific projects that year 3 worked on. This all culminated in the year group designing and 'imagineering' their own designs for the future: how robotic light sensors and sustainable lighting can be used to help our local communities.
We look forward to the upcoming Spring STEAM exhibition which will be 'The Future is…Food' by Year 2 and 4.
Year 2 have been captivated by our World War One global learning theme. We found the INSPIRE meeting at Friends House in Euston an incredible event to be part of and gave everyone involved a great sense of belonging and purpose to past and present issues. Flo of the Somme has been a wonderful text to look at and has brought some wonderful description and poetry out during English lessons, we look forward to sharing this with you soon.
Year 2 worked on their Great Fire book nook this afternoon. We had a lot of fun painting our flames and banner. The tidy up however. . .
As a result of our Careers Week talk from Lucy Peltier, Year 2 decided to write blogs of their own. The children chose the topic they most wanted to write about. They talked about the subject, wrote down ideas on it and presented them to their friends. Armed with the ideas they then got to grips with the new Adobe Spark Page app and wrote their blogs.
The best way I could think of sharing them was by posting the link to all of them. Enjoy browsing through what they've managed to come up with. It's all their own work!
Year 2 took on the role of different careers in order to talk in different ways. We looked at using commands, questions, statements and exclamations! Watch the video to find out more.
Careering from police to blogging.
It's been a fast paced start to Careers Week in Year 2. So far, the children have held discussion on what a career is and thought about what it is they would like to be in the future, looking at ensuring the SDG's 5 and 10 are upheld with gender equality and equal opportunities in the workplace. We have also been lucky enough to have Lucy Peltier in the share her career in the blogging and poetry book world. To top all that off, we had PC Abs and PC Tracey in on Tuesday morning to explain to the children how they use talk in their jobs as well as sharing all of their cool equipment with the children!
Year 2 went on a marvelous trip to the Museum of London to ignite their topic on the Great Fire of London. Each class spent time inside the museum looking at the Great Fire exhibit as well as touring the streets of London with an expert guide telling us the story and pointing out key sites of the fire. It was a fun and insightful trip for the children, helping to deepen their understanding and knowledge on our new topic. A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who came along, you really helped make the day!
Year 2 have embraced poetry this term. Dylan's Dad came to visit us twice. First we worked with him to write poems from our imagination. Then we perfected them in English lessons. Then he returned to give us a master class in performing our poems to an audience.
On Friday Reception opened there very own 'Dinosaur Museum'. The children had worked flat out on their work to ensure that the exhibits were ready for the visitors. It was a fantastic showing of the children's work and enthusiasm for their dinosaur topic. We were lucky enough to have the ribbon cut by none other than our very own Miss Bruckdorfer and head of governors, Luca Salice! It was great to see so many parents with their children there for the opening, it helped make the event even more special.
Could genetic modification be used to change the world? Could plants be modified to actually solve environmental problems? We designed plants which could do just this.
Yesterday Year 5 got stuck in making their spaceships out of junk they brought from home or found in the local skip! Each spaceship has been designed and made to collect or completely eliminate space debris. At the STEAM exhibition you will see a range of tentacles, 'robotic' arms, harpoons and even disintegrators attached to our spaceships.
Yesterday Year 5 went to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. There we talked to astronomers who helped us further our knowledge about the planets, new solar system discoveries and experience what it would be like for an astronaut to be living in space. To top off the day, we attended the screening of 'Final Frontier' in the spectacular planetarium. Here we were taken on a visual journey of exoplanets and the strange new worlds that astronomers are discovering.
Have you heard about NASA's most recent discovery of seven Earth sized planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1?
With STEAM fast approaching EYFS and Key Stage 1 were in for a treat today when some rather large birds came to visit. We loved meeting the barn owl who flew so silently. Also the enormous golden eagle wandered between us all and flew over our heads. It was very exciting!
Going to the Grant Museum!
As part of our learning for STEAM, Year 2 visited the weird and wonderful Grant Museum of Zoology on Wednesday. Here we saw a huge range of animals, from dodo bones, to an elephants skull, to the enormous Japanese crab. The children loved seeing the vast array of specimens and thinking about why they were suited to their particular habitats. Look out for some of this learning in our upcoming STEAM exhibition!
A case study outlining our contribution to the development of this game can be found here.
Last Thursday, we were very proud to receive our Ashoka Changemaker School Award at the esteemed Royal Society of Arts. Thank you to the children for representing Torriano so well. They were informed and confident when sharing their ideas with the Ashoka Fellows and other guests about our projects, how we are committed to 'changemaking' and we strive to reimagine learning for the 21st Century. An unforgettable evening.
This morning, the Torriano Arts Ambassadors joined artists and sculptors in Trafalgar Square for the unveiling of the Fourth Plinth. After hearing a very enthusiastic speech from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, the children saw the dramatic unveiling of the new sculpture; a huge thumbs up, called 'Doing Good'. The sculpture is a symbol of all the good in the world and a reminder that we can all do good things even in the face of adversity.
The children then visited the National Gallery where they took a closer look at paintings through the ages, sketching their favourite pieces as they went. We ended the day with a fantastic workshop hosted by the shop Tiger. The children were able to interpret and paint their own pictures of the Fourth Plinth and what 'doing good' means to them.
As part of our focus on china and the Shang Dynasty, year 3 made their very own dragons. They had to craft them out of paper, card and lolly sticks! Using symmetry to ensure the dragon had a fine coat of scales meant the results were really quite beautiful.
Year 3 have produced a stunning level of homework of the easter holidays. We have been amazed by the depth of research and knowledge on show before we've even started the topic. It has set up the children's learning perfectly for the coming term. A massive well done!
Are you a fan of fresh fruit smoothies?
Passionate about Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing)?
Then Torriano had the answer for you!
Alongside our highly successful Food Waste cafe, our Sustainability Task Force ran a Blendavenda station! The bikes, which blend fruit into smoothies as you pedal, were an amazing tool for encouraging discussion around health and well-being. It was wonderful seeing how many children enjoyed spending their time exercising for a nutritious reward. Our parents and staff loved joining in with the children too and particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit smoothies at the end.
We look forward to working with the Blendavenda team again.
Year 3 have been hard at work developing on of their exhibits for the STEAM exhibition. Using Adobe Slate on the ipads they have been putting their own spin on a non-chronological report. Now I won't give too much away, but it will certainly 'shine' some light on a very global issue.
We were very lucky this morning to have Steven Camden come in to work with a group of children. They were creating their own lyrics to a song/dance/video project which will feature in the exhibition. Watch this space!!!
Year 3 have completed some fantastic homework during their break from school. They were charged with the task of finding out as much as possible on pre-historic Britain. We took some time to appreciate the effort they had put in by sharing it with the class in our homework gallery.
Year 5 kick-started the Spring term by sharing their brilliant Maya homework projects! After the children shared their fascinating findings with each other, each class collected their facts together and the children prepared to become myth busters! As part of our new topic, 'Maya: Myth, Mystery and Marvel' the children will be finding out about Maya life. Throughout the project, we will return to our original research to discover if any of our facts are actually myths. This will help us to become true historians, investigating the validity of historical sources. Next week, we look forward to a visit from Dr. Diane Davies – an expert Maya archaeologist.
Year 3 visited the House of Illustration on Wednesday. The children had a fantastic time touring the Ernest Howard Shepard exhibition. It was another great link to the children's WW1 topic, as it documented how EH. Shepard developed the Winnie the Pooh illustrations during his time away at war, also giving further insight into a soldiers life on the front-line. The pop-up books created at the workshop showcase the great artistic talent that the children have!
Year 3 dramatised the heroic actions of the bird named 'Dear Friend' or, 'Cher Ami'.

Years 3 and 5 were very lucky to have an hours workshop each with the OAE today. They will be delivering projects with Torriano primary for the next 3 years. Today Cherry, Ceceilia and Hetty demonstrated different pieces on their instruments and as an ensemble. The children were taken back in time to the music of the 1400's through to the late 1700's. They listened to pieces such as Mennetto by Mozart and an early 1600 piece called Lillibulero. They discussed the importance of communication in music ensembles as well as the evolution of the violin and oboe. The OAE will be working with year 2 on a singing project in the spring term based on the theme of 'opposites'.
Year 3 looked at how the British government kept a close eye on what was sent to and from the front line during World War 1. The children got the chance to open, censor and deliver letters sent from the front-line!
The postal service was a powerful tool during the war, but how exactly did they control what soldiers got to write home about?
Can you tell me in the comments below; What they couldn't write about? What the postal service did to censor the letters? What process did the letters have to go through?
Click the image below to remind yourselves what went on.
Over the half term year 4 explored their family histories. They created some fantastic family trees which are now on display in our classrooms! Not only did the children create their own family trees but some children brought in old photographs of relatives and we even saw a family tree that dates back to the 1700s! This term we will be trying to answer the question 'Who are the people of Britain?' So discovering the children's own cultures has given us a great start.
Summer Reading Challenges- do you dare?!
This summer we are challenging you to take part in two awesome competitions; The Summer Reading Challenge and The Torriano Juniors Extreme Reading Challenge!
What is the Extreme Reading Challenge?
This summer we will also be running a photographic competition for the most obscure and entertaining place that the pupils and staff can be caught reading!
So why not combine these two fantastic competitions; get caught reading in cool places and pick up some rewards along the way!
Year four had a fantastic day on Thursday at the South Bank Centre where they performed with three other schools as part of the Harmonise project. The children have been working with musicians Allim and Noga for the past few weeks to prepare for this exciting event. The project was organised by Music Action International and was part of Refugee Week Celebrations which have been taking part across the country this week. The children performed a Somalian song taught to them by some of our parents and they also sang two songs which they composed themselves. The performances were watched by members of the public and proud parents also came along. Well done everyone involved your really made us proud and stood up for the rights of refugees.
Both classes individual performances will appear here shortly!
Today Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a puppet making workshop with the Little Angel Theatre, as part of their Trench Brothers Project. 5MW created smartly dressed soldiers from the West Indies Regiment, whilst 5VB crafted striking soldiers from the Indian Army. The children used all of their focus and design skills to follow each tricky step carefully, making sure that their puppet followed the strict uniform rules! After half term, the children will be practising their puppetry skills, whilst continuing to learn their songs in preparation for the big performance in July. Well done Year 5 – excellent work!
On Friday a few lucky children headed to the Emirates for the opening of the new state of the art Community Hub. It was a trip we'll never forget. On arrival to the hub we were briefed as to what our afternoon would entail. We picked up our i-pads to document our day and headed on a tour of the Stadium. We got to go behind the scenes and even managed to sneak into the changing rooms!
We used the pictures we had taken to create an I-book about our day…then…while busily working on our books we had a visit from two of the Arsenal players! Francis Coquelin and Per Mertesacker. We played some literacy games with them and used recordings of them to make our books even more amazing.
The day finished with the official opening of the new 3G community pitch and we were fortunate enough to watch the first ever match to be played on it! All in all a day never to forget!
This term year 4 will be working with Music Action international on a performance project. They will be working towards a final performance at the South Bank Centre which will involve them learning a new repertoire of songs as well as composing and performing their own original compositions. The performance will be with schools from other boroughs across London. Last week the whole school was treated to a special assembly with our tutors Noga Ritter and Alim Kamara.
Today, David Graves, a retired RAF officer, brought in an array of authentic WW1 artefacts including soldiers' uniforms, rifles and gas masks, which the children enjoyed investigating.
Year 3 looked at medicine and microbiology. They found out all about the development of medicine, especially the innovations that dealt with the casualties and the injuries of the First World War. Year 4 learnt about the developments of sound and communication, from early Morse code right up to modern day tweeting. Their very own Morse code machine, created through computer coding, featured at the exhibit. Year 5 took a close look at flight innovation and at those who influenced these amazing developments and the technology behind it. Year 6 looked at improvements that have been made in prosthetics since WW1. They also looked to the future and the creation of the 'superhuman'.
Just some of the many shouts that could be heard at the STEAM exhibition on Friday afternoon. The upstairs hall? It can't be!
Following last year's successful STEAMspeare exhibition, this year's Engineering our Future exhibition was again a fusion of cardboard and fluorescent tape (à la Jack Cornell), entwined with the amazing, creative work by pupils and staff alike.
Immediately after stepping into the exhibition, you were pulled along by the psychedelic display of microbe art dangling from every point. After having been checked for germs and advised about cleanliness, you were then guided by hypnotic iPad screens, showing off the year 3 microbe dance. It is amazing what you can do with a goPro and a green screen!
Turning to the left you walked into the triage of trenches where medics ably wrapped wounded visitors with bandages and gave overwhelmed viewers a jab to calm them down. Exit right form the trench, mesmerised by the pulsating music, and you walked into the 3d printing area which led into a catacomb of galleries.
With the huge microbe costume display as the centre point, a musical sound barrage of microbe trance music, installed by Mr C's whole school collective, added to the mystique of this incredible 'show'.
First left again and you were welcomed by the white coat brigade into the prosthetic limb section and the drawing lab. They eagerly informed you about their research into the development of prosthetics since WW1. Looking to the future, they considered what kind of prosthetics could be made available for creating superhumans and designed and developed different types of prosthetics for a range of different purposes. Their working prototypes were displayed and explained.
Like stepping out of a tardis, the next section was a mix of grandma's 1914 living room crossed with a NASA Space lab.
To the left there were secret messages written in Morse code and authentic artefacts to explore. All of the children's hard work was there for all to see; their detailed information texts and photos of their dance performances brought communication to life, and their understanding of science allowed them to build their own Morse Code machines. Travelling through time, back to 2015, using their computing knowledge and D&T skills, the children also built and coded Raspberry Pi Morse Code machines.
Dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit!!!
Passing by the Star-Trekky SOLE learning board into the final section of the exhibition, you could feel huge gusts of wind coming from what looked like an aircraft hangar.
Inspired by Wilbur and Orville Wright, visitors to the hangar were given the opportunity to design and create their own paper airplanes. The year 5 scientists were able to talk about their own flight experiments and how their knowledge of forces helped them to design paper planes. The visitors to the flight lab, who were incredibly impressed with the children's knowledge about aviation during WW1, enjoyed designing their own WW1 aircraft with the help of expert advisors.
Many thanks to Emma Sampson (Science Lead) for her great enthusiasm and Jack Cornell (artist in residence) for his motivation and inspiration.
Can it be bettered? He reckons yes.
In the words of Roberto Martinez…it was phenomenal.
Last week Year 3 spent a sensational day at 'Celtic Harmony', a truly immersive experience of Iron Age Britain. The children got the chance to feel what it was like to live in an authentic roundhouse, weave intricate clothing on a loom, explore what and how herbs were used to make life easier, grind wheat to start the process of making bread and make their very own bracelet dyed using, the very herbs they'd previously looked at. It was an unforgettable day as the children were a credit to the school, and themselves.
This morning, Inspector Inference asked the children for some assistance with a rather puzzling case. A picnic blanket, a half eaten sandwich, a pile of books and a basket full of unusual objects were all left in assembly!
The inspector has asked the children to help out by looking out for anything else unusual over the next couple of days. They have already been busy, adding to his bank of evidence and they will be rewarded on World Book Day with the chance of winning a brand new book of their choice!
Can you guess who may have been here?!
The lower hall was packed to the rafters this morning for the Annual Torriano Juniors Christmas 'Show'. In remembrance of World War 1, pupils told the story of the Christmas Truce accompanied by a whole school choir and musical band. It was indeed a show to remember.
We were tapping our feet to Paul McCartney one minute and then the next reaching for our handkerchiefs such was the power of the performance.
To top it all off, the annual Christmas video was unveiled…Ghostbusters. Speechless!
Congratulations to all pupils and staff for such a stunning performance.
As part of our Post Office and communication during the First World War topic, we had a visit from Sir Rowland Hill, inventor of the penny black. He spoke to the children about his story, explaining how he pioneered the introduction of the penny post making post affordable for the masses. The children created a letter, with a penny black stamp on the front of course, to send to whomever they wanted. It was a terrific chance to be in the company of a very special personality, a special thanks once again to the Big Wheel company for making our history come alive!
Today Year 3 visited the House of Illustration by Granary Square. They had the chance to experience the brand new Paddington Bear exhibition, learning all about the history of Paddington and how he has changed over 50 years! Following a look around other galleries there the children were able to create their very own illustrations. The workshop resulted in them making their own pop-up cards around our theme of World War 1. Each card was based on a line from a letter sent during the war, with the children having to select images and position them effectively to illustrate their given line.
On Friday the parents and carers of Year 3 were treated to a wonderful display of songs, performance poetry and the children's work on their topic of World War 1. It was a superb chance for the children to sit with each other and different adults to talk about what they have learnt and achieved. There was a fiercely contested Quiz as well, with William, Molly and Mason's team coming out on top!
A massive thank you to all who attended, it really is appreciated and we hope to see you all again soon!
The sun shone down upon Earth Kingdom today as we all got a chance to climb, crawl and balance about the new active space in the back playground.
After having patiently waited throughout the term watching it evolve, both children and staff took full advantage. When is it my turn next?
Sometimes objects help us to remember special memories. During WW1 it was important for soldiers to have reminders of home. What items might have been important to them? Year 3 imagined a loved one was fighting in a war far from home. Over half term we put together a small box of things to remind him or her to keep their spirits up. After wrapping our boxes up and fixing a stamp on them they were ready to post. In the pictures you can see that our post office was very busy with all of the parcels.
As you may have noticed there have been some changes over the summer holidays! Even though our playground might seem a little bit smaller now, it is all for a very good cause. This is because our Active Spaces project is currently taking shape in the back playground.
Made from Scratch, who are building the structure, are a company dedicated to building play spaces that bring together children and communities. We were able to catch a few minutes with the Made from Scratch dream team. Gemma (Creative Director) and Llewelyn (Site manager) told us they are very excited to be working with award winner designers Erect to realise their Kingdom. They are creating the space from local sustainable wood sources and the nets will all come from a British producer. Gemma explained to us that the space, which looks much like a fallen fortress, will add high play value for the children, creating opportunities to climb, crawl, balance and allowing a huge scope for imaginary play.
Llewelyn is particularly pleased with the connection between our existing walkway in the trees and the new construction, "it is extending the life of the walkway as well as the scope of play." It doesn't end once the barriers come down and it opens for the children, Gemma believes there is huge scope for the later addition of pulleys, baskets and talking tubes. The teaching staff are also very excited to use the new space as a backdrop to the schools curriculum!
The International Day for Street Children is celebrated every year on 12 April. The day provides a platform for the millions of street children around the world – and their champions – to speak out so that their rights cannot be ignored.
To celebrate this special day, the World Cup and our partnership with Netley Primary School we created this video.
This term, as part of our learning, we celebrated Brazil's culture and the World Cup through carnival, dealing with the issues of social justice and equality, eradication of poverty and sustainable development. As celebration of all our hard work, we held a carnival. Many thanks to all parents that turned up to make it another special 'Torriano Day'.
Last week a very special visitor came to Torriano. Nixiwaka is from the Yawanawa tribe in the north western part of the Amazon rainforest. He works with Survival International to raise awareness of the rights of Amazon Indians. He showed us his bow and arrow and we found out that he went on his first hunting trip when he was just 6! It was interesting to find out about the problems facing his tribe and we shared our views on deforestation. We were inspired by his beautiful headdress so we decided to make our own. Check them out at the Carnival!
Don't forget to check out our Louder Together Blog to see how carnival preparations are going!
Today the Brazil Task Force got together to begin discussions on communicating our whole school Brazil project with the parents/carers. Click here to visit our blog and see how we are getting on!
We had a fantastic morning watching the class winners in our Talent Burst Competition. There were dancers, musicians, comedians and singers all delighting their very excited audience with their exceptional talents.
Well done everyone, you're not good…you're GREAT!
Year 4 have been learning all about the history, geography and culture of France so we decided to share our knowledge with year 6 as they prepare to head to Paris. We invited them to a French Fair where they had the opportunity to learn about Euros, shopping, the French Revolution, transport, food, football, useful French phrases and the art of France. It was great fun!
Year 6 particularly enjoyed the croissant stall and having their photograph taken in the French photo booth ( look out for the photos in our French Gallery).
We hope Year 6 have a wonderful time in Paris.
Bon Voyage et amuses vous bien!
On Wednesday, 3VB were accompanied by 'Film in Education' on a trip to Hampstead Heath. Following their planning session last week, the children were ready for filming their silent film. Dressed as an array of rainforest animals, 3VB delivered their best performances as angry bees, sad monkeys, hungry jaguars and guilty woodcutters! All of the children were praised on their fantastic ability to take direction and perform with energy and enthusiasm as the cameraman captured them swinging through the trees, climbing onto logs and trekking through the forest! Whilst off set, the children enjoyed playing together on the heath, taking part in parachute games and occasionally sheltering from the rain in the band stand!
We all had such a fantastic day and cannot wait to see our film!
The class were very lucky to work with 'Film in Education' who are going to help the children to produce their very own silent film that will be shown at the Silent Film Festival in July. It was a very creative day, as the children worked in groups to think of ideas for a rainforest story. Thinking about the theme of sustainiblity, the children created a story that explains the effects of deforestation, told from the view point of the animals. They spent the second half of the day acting out each part of the story, creating story boards for the camera man and deciding the type of film shots to use. What a busy day!
Next week, 3VB will be visiting Hampstead Heath for a day of filming – watch this space for further updates!
Please read this article from the Ham and High about the recent Camden Careers Conference.
How on earth do you marry the literary and artistic brilliance of Shakespeare and Science in an exhibition?
The short answer, in the exciting exhibition mounted by Torriano Junior School, is to choose an appropriate name, focus on Shakespeare's world, both real and imagined, add a few ipads and there you have it…Steamspeare!
This is an exhibition that takes us on a journey from 1614 Stratford upon Avon to 2014 Kentish Town Camden. It puts his plays into context in a number of fascinating ways.
The exhibition begins downstairs with year 4s Shakespearean soundscapes which accompany an audio-tour.
The sounds echo around this exhibition, and moving upstairs you have the feeling that you have stepped into the wrong room as you are greeted by the eerie lights that spectacularly light up the top hall.
You can't have a Shakespeare exhibition without living language; and here you get what are called "digital" characters. Year 5 have been working with Jack the artist to create sculptures inspired by their study of Macbeth. They used some alternative types of material. It's amazing what you can create with some tape and wire. Using ipads as faces the characters talk to each other to recreate magical scenes.
On a glowing white screen in the middle of a hall, appear the shadows of familiar characters. Year 3 created shadow puppets and used their silhouette creations to tell a part of Shakespeare's story from their biographies. They experimented with different torches, coloured films and motors to create different effects for the performance.
Finally, in the corner of the hall is a darkened room. Step inside and you arrive in a Midsummer Night's Dream of kaleidoscopic lanterns and vibrating games created by an extremely busy year 6.
Catch a sneak preview of Camden's first Primary Careers Conference 2014.
Torriano Junior School and Netley Primary, in conjunction with Camden Children Schools and Families, Goldsmiths and Dentsu Aegis, bring you an opportunity to hear the personal journeys and experiences of people from different walks of life. This is a spectacular event you will not want to miss.
Active Spaces – What moves you?
We are very excited about the school's involvement in the Camden Active Spaces Project. This is a joint venture with the infant school and will give us the opportunity to develop dynamic play provision, whilst creating an 'active space' for the community to use. Parents, community groups, staff and children took part in a day of consultation with Erect Architects and Wayward Plants last friday.
Erect designed the new 'Olympic Park' playground and have some exciting ideas about linking the two schools through the active space. They asked questions like 'What moves you?' and 'Why do you return to a space?' Discussion and feedback showed that our school commnuity also have some interesting and innovative ideas too!
The children created two imaginary kingdoms and then played a game of 'Border Ball' to share ideas with the infants school. A great start!
If you did not attend the consultation, there will be a further opportunity to share your views during parents' evening.
As part of today's Christmas concert, Torriano's Labyrinth music videos were premiered. Starring our very own David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly and a host of goblins, our film was a roaring success.
Every note was played or sung by the Torriano band. The costumes, acting and dance all produced at Torriano. Even the animation was made our year six children.
Sit back, enjoy, but beware the Goblin King!
Coming soon to Torriano Junior School, the musical spectacular – LABYRINTH.
In this digital world that we now live in, computing is rapidly changing. in preparation, year 6 pupils have embarked on a basic programming skills course which will eventually be open to all pupils at Torriano. Our guest expert, Mr Hall, introduced us to Scratch programming and within minutes the children were entranced by the sprite that they were controlling via their own commands. Up and down, round and round…if they can do this in such a short space of time what will they produce by the end of term?
Next half term we will be running an after school coding club, taught by a volunteer from Google. Ready or not here we come.
Careers week has been a roaring success in year 6. We have had some fantastic and inspirational visitors telling us all about their work.
Art historian, Guido, talked to us about how he loves art because it makes him think and it teaches us to ask questions. He showed us some really fanscinating pieces of art work and asked us to think about what we thought was happening. We had some really insightful ideas. We thought it was brilliant that he described art as puzzles without answers.
Guido teaches art history students and talked to us about being curious and this can make us see art in a completely different way. He said that if you think of something as dull it will be dull so we have resolved to find curiosity in everything we do!
Thank you to Guido for being so inspirational and interesting!
A new lunchtime retro craze has returned to the classrooms at Torriano. The children are showing so much imagination and creativity that I am not sure what is real and what is not when I walk into the room.
If you want to 'Le go'of any old Lego bits n bobs we would be extremely grateful for any donations.
As you step into school bright and early tomorrow, cast your eyes towards the left. What was known as 'the pitch' has been transformed into a mini Emirates. It took two men five days to lay 9 tonnes of sand and 11 tonnes of rubber. Maths questions to follow!
The pitch is 3G artificial turf. Artificial 3G sports surfaces have been used to hold UEFA Champions League games, and FIFA promotes the use of synthetic football surfaces and pitches. I know the staff can't wait to play on it. What about you?
Thank you to Arsenal Football Club for their generous contribution to this project.
Torriano Wows the Public at Regent's Place!
Today the Torriano pupils demonstrated that they were 'Gormley's in the making' after the official launch of the Interaction Project at Regent's Place.
We began our project eight weeks ago by visiting Regent's Place to gain inspiration from the art that is installed in the space, including Anthony Gormley's Reflection. We then spent the last eight weeks in school creating our own sculptures using wire. This was a new technique for us and very tricky.
Today was the launch and celebration of the work that we have created. When we arrived in Regent's Place this morning it was fairly quiet, but by lunch time it was busy and bustling, filled with office workers having their lunch in the sun. This gave us the perfect opportunity to survey the public and find out what they thought of our work- some people even wanted to buy it! We also were able to have a go at chalk drawing on the tiles, not something you get to do everyday.
The art work will be in Regent's Place until mid August, please go and check it out!
We were amazed at the sporting talents of our children this week during the Torriano Wimbledon Championships. The whole school turned up in tennis attire and the players wowed us with an impressive array of forehand and backhand shots; combined with some volleys and powerful serves.
This all took place on Torriano Centre Court. Tension mounted during the enthralling finals on Thursday, where parents and children cheered along their class representatives. The children also took part on court as ball monitors and umpires; whilst enjoying strawberries too.
Well done to all of the players; especially our winners. We will be celebrating their achievements in assembly on Monday. Well done to the teachers too, who also showed us their best shots!
Next week is the annual 'Oxfam Water Week'. The Eco Champions have begun to put their heads together to come up with some fun activities to raise awareness about people who are 'water vulnerable'- this means that they have problems getting their water because of floods, droughts, war or sometimes because their government have not built the pipes correctly.
Some of the ideas included a water themed parent/ teacher race at sports day and an awareness raising water stop! The Eco Champions will be presenting in assembly on Monday and we would love to know if you have any more ideas for raising awareness!
As part of our Science Week celebrations, Torriano pupils trawled through the web researching some of the greatest inventions and discoveries throughout history.
Each group member was assigned a role. The musicians recorded different instruments to create individual samples. They then took these samples and arranged them as loops to create an industrial sounding backing. The artists/animators chose different points in history and recreated them through stop frame animation as well as using the final cut program to create a time line of visual progress. The narrators planned and read brief descriptions of each animation to provide background information.
An exciting event is taking place after school on Friday 28th June!
Year 5 have been working with accountancy firm KPMG to learn about the world of business. As part of this, the children are in groups that plan to make and sell items to raise money for UNICEF.
We'll be there from 3:30 and we look forward to seeing you there!
This morning the Task Force were pleased to welcome to the school Maura Hayes from UNICEF. She wanted to find out all about our MDG project.
We explained to her how the original five Year 5 children who consulted on the kind of world they wanted after 2015 have now been joined by seven other children. We discussed the skills we all have which will help the project be successful.
We then told her how each year group was focusing on a different MDG. Have a look at the year Group pages for more info.
We mentioned that parents were getting involved too. She laughed when we said we had sent a text to them today reminding them to complete their Mission 2 homework on the 6 important issues to families. Check it out!
We also discussed why it was important for all our futures that we know and understand the challenges the world faces and how we might do something about them.
Finally, we ended with each member sharing what they thought had gone well in the meeting and Maura said she felt that the project is very worthwhile and she is so happy UNICEF are involved with us in spreading the word!
Year 5 were really lucky to have Shivum, Oli, Christian and Lorna from KPMG visit us today.
We are going to be completing an enterprise project.
We began the day by thinking about a High Street is.
– Which shops do we find on a High Street?
– How have high streets changed recently?
– What can big companies offer that family run businesses can't?
We learned about how slogans such as Nike and kFC use their designs to encourage us to buy their products.
We were surprised to find out that the most common business found on a high street is the Post Office. The discussion developed into looking at the difference between first and second class postage. The whole postage process was then discussed in groups.
The children worked in groups to create their own High Street, taking into consideration the essential shops required. The session ended with the children discussing what shops sell, where the money comes from and where it goes.
The next session began with each group listing household essential items. We also thought about impulse buying and what other tactics the shops use to make us spend lots of money such as meal deals, advertising and promotions.
We were really surprised by the idea that companies have methods to work out what we want to buy. By using information from thing such as club cards, companies can see what you are buying every week and send you related vouchers. .
The children were very knowledgeable about the different ways we can pay for the things we want and we talked about what we did before we had money. Our discussion of the history of trade continued and Dasha gave an excellent explanation.
The children were given a list of everyday items found in a shopping trolley. They had to work out a price for each one. We then discussed needs and wants. We found it interesting that needs vary from place to place, for example, water in Tanzania is a need whereas in the UK we have tap water.
After lunch, we recapped on everything we had learned and did a refresher. Shivum gave us a shopping list where we had to use our excellent maths skills to work out how much it would cost altogether.
Our task is to design and make 3 products from recycled materials.
Shivum explained that within each role, there are different skills that are needed. For example, the Managing Director needs to be someone who is going to keep everyone together, stop people from arguing and brings together the team to make sure everyone is working hard.
The Karate club and choir team up to do their own version of the Peter Cetera classic taken from the Karate Kid 2. A big thank you to Rod Arran for his help in making it.
On Tuesday April 16th, Wanda Diaz-Merced, an astrophycisist, paid us a special visit; coming all the way from NASA in America. She came for a second time to teach a group of 16 students all about radio astronomy. This included information about how to differentiate solar bursts from manmade interference, which is fairly easy as man made waves show up as rigid neat straight lines where as any information from space looks like a regular curvy wave. Wanda also showed us a calibration; these are used to measure a wave in decibels.
She showed us a diagram of different types of waves, from x rays to radio waves. The diagram is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. All of these different waves have different amounts of energy and a different amount of intensity. If a wave is wide rather than tall and skinny it has a larger amount of energy, but if a wave is tall and skinny it has more intensity this is just one of the many things Wanda taught us throughout the lesson. Fortunately we had the opportunity to ask Wanda questions about her job, anything about the universe and the equipment we were going to be using. This information was about preparing us for when we will collect data of our own.
Both this school and Wanda are very pleased to announce that for the first time we are going to be recording five days of data with our newly built radio telescope. The hope is that we will be able to record a solar burst; if so this will record the duration of time the solar bursts lasted for. We have to record the sunset and sunrise on each day and mark these on the data. Wanda has also asked us to record pictures of the sun each day on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory Website. Once this is done we will send it to Wanda who will use a calibration to measure our solar bursts in decibels, intensity and energy. The information will be sent to the Goddard Space centre.
2013 Eggs-hibition: A Cracking Egg-vent!
Yet again, an eggs-ellent eggs-ample of the eggs-traordinary, creative ability of our children and families, was shared at the 2013 Eggs-hibition. Crowds scrambled up to the top hall to get a 'peak' at the many egg-trees. The eggs-hibits ranged from eggs-otic to the eggs-traterrestial and of course eggs-perimental; in keeping with our Invention and Discovery Theme. There were many Lor-eggs in there too! The Torriano folk really egg-celled themselves this year, with an eggs-plosive final, egg – cluding; 'Where the Wild Eggs Are', 'An Eggs -tract from Gulliver's Travels', 'The Lor-egg', 'Egg-ssembly', 'How To Catch a Dragon Egg', 'Egg-quarium', 'Can an Egg Carry a Book?' and the very topical 'Let's Scramble Together to Beat Homelessness'. There were many more brilliant eggs-hibits. Much fun was had by all!
The Intergalactic project demonstrates the diverse talent and team work that is a unique feature of our school. Mr Cambata worked with Rod from the Brecknock CLC and a range of staff members to coordinate the project. Children from across the school were involved in animation, composition, artwork, dance and rapping. The children used Green Screen technology and iMacs to create their own version of the infamous Beastie Boys track. All of the music was created by the children. The project took place over a half term, with the children meeting every Friday to create, practice and refine their ideas.
If you had ventured into the hall at 3.30 Today, Wednesday 27th March, you would have been forgiven for thinking that you had been transported to the Science Museum itself. However, in our exhibition, every object on display was designed and created by pupils from across the school.
Each year group asked big questions and worked to create solutions through invention or discovery.
Year 3 and 4 worked together investigating how we can use sustainable light in our playground. Their combined efforts created two incredible models of the school and its surrounds complete with a range of solar powered lighting.
Year 5 explored ways to provide all children around the world with clean water. They used their extensive knowledge of filtration to create an array of colourful and instructive water filter prototypes.
Year 6 developed solutions for the local problems we see around us. Their inventions ranged from a computer game to reduce dog mess to a homeless shelter, a living wall complete with working model to a graffiti wall with solar powered lighting system.
TED artist, Sarah Smith, worked with the children to visually record the Torriano Science Week of Invention and Discovery 2013. The images were directed by, and derived from the children's ideas and works.
The piece aims to show the journey towards sustainability; highlighting this through polar opposites in the drawing. See if you can spot the events and influences that led to children's inventions.
Watch this space for the animation!
Torriano is proud to announce the completion of the Radio Jove telescope designed to acquire data on Jupiter and solar emissions. The school is now part of the scientific research community and officially an astronomical observatory. We hope that this is the beginning of a long and successful project to teach and inspire the children into learning about science and our solar system and perhaps a few parents too! Astrophysicist, Wanda Merced Diaz has been instrumental in setting up this project and inspiring our children.
Jove is an old name for Jupiter; the purpose of the telescope is to gather data on solar and Jovian emissions. The word telescope is rather misleading as you begin to imagine an assembly of lenses allowing you to see distant images closer. Rather, this telescope is designed to 'listen' to other planetary bodies through the radio emissions that we can detect on Earth.
These emissions come from the magnetic field that surrounds Jupiter or the Sun. By studying Jupiter's radio emissions, we can learn about our own planet, as Earth too generates a magnetic field. Similarly, when gaining data on solar activity, we can better understand how stars work and also how it affects the Earth. The impact of solar activity can be seen on Earth in the form of the famous northern lights but it also impacts upon communication systems and power grids.
The recorded data can be monitored by others worldwide or it can be submitted to scientific researchers and people studying astrophysics. The idea is that they can have a pool of data from multiple locations for a particular event.
For people interested in constructing their own antenna, this involves assembling the radio receiver, where a little knowledge of electronics and the ability to solder onto a PCB would help. Constructing an antenna requires an area roughly the size of garden and elevated to about 6 meters (20 feet).
The telescope is now functional, recording data and currently in the process of establishing baseline interference levels so reliable observations can be gathered in future. Above is an example of the data from Torriano for an eight hour period.
The children are being taught by Wanda on Skype once a week. NASA is feeding back information on the data we are sending and the children are plotting the sunset and sunrise everyday.
As part of Science Week we looked at innovation in flight. We invited along Alan from Eagle Heights to share with us his amazing ornithological knowledge. Alan introduced us to four of his feathered friends. First we were introduced to a Peregrine falcon. Within minutes she was swooping about the hall before landing by Mr Loughney. Next to come along was the Bald-headed eagle, the national symbol of the USA, followed by a Harris Hawk. Finally came the Snowy Owl. Everyone agreed that it was just like a scene from Harry Potter.
During science week, one of our favourite weeks at this school, our excitement overwhelmed us. Science is one of the most enjoyable and varied topics in the national curriculum.
The week was kicked off by a visit from Aisha, a scientist, who taught us about the invention of pneumatics. We made our very own pneumatic powered rockets on Friday.
On Monday our very own science lab was launched by Aniqa, Ruby, Max, Paris, Theo and Miss Williams. The pupils of Torriano enjoyed activities like: plani-shperes, sundials, Little Bits, smoke rings and spaghetti towers. This amazing lab continued through out the week and children from each year participated.
As a pupil in this school, I feel that the teachers really out did themselves on Tuesday by bring in live birds of prey including: a Harris Hawk, a Peregrine Falcon, Bald Eagle and a Barn Owl all the way from Eagle Heights in Kent. As each bird was presented, a silence fell on the school, especially the giant bald eagle and the silent barn owl.
A week on from Aisha's visit we began building the dome, a series of coloured poles fitted together by Patsy and 11 other children.
I feel science week was a huge success and will be hard to top in the years to come.
On 6th March, the brilliant mathematical brains of Torriano were beavering away for World Maths Day. The day was a fantastic opportunity for all of the children to compete with others around the world in a mental maths competition.
Some of the adults also had a go in front of the whole school; Miss Williams and Mr Price showed that practice makes perfect!
In our classrooms we had some problem solving activities to complete with the children working brilliantly together in teams.
There's one thing for sure at Torriano: WE ARE ALL MATHEMATICIANS!
To celebrate World Maths Day, Torriano pupils took part in a 24 hour online maths competition. Along with pupils from across the globe they answered as many questions as possible in a minute in an attempt to break the world record for combined correct answers. Congratulations to all the pupils who took part, in particular Aniqa who answered an amazing 1658 questions correctly.
Mr Cambata and a group of talented, enthusiastic children from across the school have been busy with composing a soundtrack for an animation project with the Brecknock CLC. Inspired by our Science Week 2013 theme , this group have been animating discoveries and inventions throughout time. Watch this space for the final product!
The school band practices every Tuesday lunch time. Here they are getting ready for their performance of A-Ha's 'Take On Me'.
Some budding Year 6 scientists had the exciting opportunity of visiting Imperial College to take part in a variety of scientific activities. On our first visit to Imperial College we were blown away when the children got to make their own vortex cannons! After filling the vortex cannons with smoke we watched as smoke rings were created.
The second activity of the day required the children to become engineers. Luckily our Torriano scientists were innovative and worked together so effectively that they were able to build the tallest Spaghetti tower….
It was the tallest until it collapsed 10 seconds before being measured in the competition!!!
Making a bouncy ball may sound like fun and games but this last activity took a great deal of concentration and even more scientific genius. To mix the solutions, powder, glitter and colouring to produce the perfect bouncy ball was no easy task.
But thanks to our innovative Torriano scientsists we succeeded!


Six months on the New York Times bestseller list! Featured on 25 best of the year lists!
I am happy to recommend [Step Aside, Pops] to anyone who likes history and comics and things that are blindingly hilarious.
In Beaton's sublimely skewered world of revolutionaries and usurpers and female heroes who won't move to the back of history's train, the art of the knowing line is its own beautiful subversion.
When Beaton takes on the benighted gender politics of today, the burden of history no longer weighs down the brickbats she hurls. Instead they hit home with elegant accuracy – as well as enough cutting sarcasm to make pops step aside, and nasty boys realize they don't mean a thing.
Along with a finely tuned sense of comic timing, Beaton has an unerring eye for the human folly at the heart of great works of art and great moments in history, which is why her work only gets funnier each time you read it.
From Julius Caesar to The Secret Garden and from the late Romantics to Kokoro, Beaton knocks it out of the park, having a go at anything and everything with her razor-sharp wit.
Sharp, charming, and weird, Step Aside, Pops is a fine sampling of Beaton's work, and I can't recommend it enough.
Her assured doodles and ability to find absurdity anywhere are unmistakable. So is her orthography: Nobody's ever gotten so much comedy out of omitting punctuation.
This new collection showcases her fully-evolved storytelling and humor, scouring history for satirical springboards and laugh-out-loud sight gags. Beaton's deceptively simple art style is the essence of great cartooning.
From Wonder Woman dealing with the demands of realist critics, to Mary and Colin getting high in The Secret Garden, Step Aside, Pops will keep you in stitches.

As you can see, the server is listening on 127.0.0.1:port and client is connecting to 127.0.0.1:port
However, I want my client and server to be on two different servers.
For example:
My server will listen be on IP 11.22.33.44:1234 and my client will be connecting from IP 12.23.45.66:1234
I am going to be using linux servers, but right now I am doing this on my windows machine.
So I want to listen on my external IP.
When I enter my external IP as host, I get errors thrown.
Warning: socket_bind(): unable to bind address [10049]: The requested address is not valid in its context. in C:\xampp\htdocs\server.php on line 12

Warning: socket_listen(): unable to listen on socket [10022]: An invalid argument was supplied. in C:\xampp\htdocs\server.php on line 14

Warning: socket_accept(): unable to accept incoming connection [10022]: An invalid argument was supplied. in C:\xampp\htdocs\server.php on line 17

Warning: socket_read() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\server.php on line 18

Warning: socket_write() expects paramet

er 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\server.php on line 20
How can I do this?
Thanks.

A: Since you're (speculation!) probably hosting this service behind a proxy, router, firewall, or other perimeter device, your box won't have direct access to bind to the external IP. Therefore, leave it bound to localhost and forward (open) the applicable ports from the perimeter device to your server.
If, for example, you're using AWS to host, you would set the firewall ACL to permit your socket ports to both servers and then the connections should flow through.
This is akin to binding your Apache web services to the localhost IP address of the server.
Alternatively, if you're not hosting this and communication is happening on a local network, then you should be able to at least bind to the assigned/internal IP address of each local network card.

A: open cmd and write that
php -f C:\xampp\htdocs\server.php
your code

I've really done it up. In about 7 business days my landline will be history and I'll have a subsidized Xperia to play with, going with my local telco.
It's a change alright. But I wanted that Sony bad enough that I sold my soul for two years. The termination fee will be whatever might be left owing on the phone. I thought it would be something worse or more insidious than that.
Plus, I have the option of moving up to the Xperia Z5 if it should come online.
I figure if I'm committing for two years, I want it to be over a GOOD phone, a respectable phone.
I'm just ranting. But I am a bit excited and spooked. What else could it be, being that it's new to me, if not unknown.
I also get to leave my p+s camera at home, maybe ditch it entirely; the xperia has one, to make a mockery of what I had.
Maybe this would be a good place to ask for tips, from people here, whom I *know* are mobile veterans. This is my first time away from a landline. Though the telco promises to make it painless as possible.

Utilization of Power Setting in Monopolar Electrosurgery Unit With Additional Blend Modes
Muhammad Roni Setiawan Department of medical electronics engineering technology
Tri Bowo Indrato Department of Medical Electronics Engineering Technology
Triana Rahmawati Department of Medical Electronics Engineering Technology
Keywords: Electrosurgery Unit, tissue, frequency, power
Electrosurgery unit has the purpose of damaging certain body tissues by heating the tissue. In this study there are several modes and also power selection. The contribution of this research is to design the power management and also the addition of several modes for the surgical process. Electrosurgery Unit involves the use of IC CMOS 4069 as a frequency generator. The frequency output is set at 250 KHz and then passed on to the pulse regulator circuit and controlled by using Arduino and then forwarded to the inverter circuit which functions to increase the voltage and output in the form of power. Modules are calibrated using ESU Analyzer. This module is equipped with a selection of LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH power. And also there are some additional modes including Blend 1 and Blend 2. After the measurement is carried out, the voltage values obtained at the setting of low, medium high, on the inverter input with a value on Blend 1 mode low 80 V with an error of 0.84%, Medium 90 V with error 0.84%, High 104 V with an error of 0.81%, in Blend 2 mode low 84 V with an error of 0.83%, Medium 86 V with a error of 0.85%, High 105 V with an error of 0.81%, the Cutting mode is low 162 V with an error of 2.88%, medium 172 V with an error of 3.03%, High 192 V with an error of 2.86%. The measurement shows an error of less than 1% for Blend 1 and Blend 2 modes while cutting is less than 3%. The results of this study can be implemented in order to minimize errors due to lack of power settings and mode selection during surgery.

Young people of both sexes, aged between 13 and 17 years old with an open proceeding in public administration (IMAS) subject to protection measures by the Child Protection Service of the Insular Council of Mallorca.
This project consists on a plan dedicated to the specialized and complete attention to young people who need residential care of high educational intensity for the development of the necessary skills to facilitate their transition to the adult life.
We propose an innovative project that breaks up with the traditional education structure and gives both young people and their families the main role in the management of possible conflict situations. It has a comprehensive view of the person. By visualizing the conflict from the family, local / residential and school environments, it contributes to improve the climate of cohabitation and provides practical and socializing tools for young people. One of its most notable results is that young people are protagonists and builders of their own lives.
We specially emphasize the emotional development, fomenting their maximum autonomy. This plan offers a safe environment where the minors can develop healthily, covering or supervising their physical, social, educational, emotional and biological needs. The plan also gives an individually adapted answer to the reality of children to impede irreversible processes of exclusion or rejection.

Mention food and challenge in the same sentence and I'm there! So naturally the answer to whether or not I was going to take part in Holland & Barrett's Ingredient Swap Challenge was a simple yes.
I was initially sent a list of ingredients I could choose from but instead of picking the ingredients I wanted to work with, I decided to let them know which ones I already had (like coconut oil etc) and went all in on the challenge by letting Holland & Barrett pick for me … challenging!
When I opened up the package they sent me, I have to admit that my first reaction was that of a daunted foodie. Yes there were ingredients I'd used before but the challenge that lay ahead was to use them all and to swap them with ingredients I'd usually use.
The method is very simple. In a large bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients, so that's the brown rice flour, baking powder and salt. Then set the bowl aside. In another bowl whisk all the wet ingredients, so that's the butter, honey, milk and egg. Next you add the wet ingredients to the dry by whisking together. Finally you fold in the pitted dates. The texture was different than my usual pancake mixture but as mentioned I wanted them to be thicker like American style pancakes as opposed to French style crepes. To fy the pancakes I used a little rapeseed oil but you can use whatever oil you normally cook with. They should only take 2-3 minutes on each side on a medium heat. I have to admit that I didn't enjoy the pancakes plain but when I added banana, fresh strawberries and drizzled honey over them, they were delicious. I chopped the dates quite small but I think the next time I'd just chop them in four. I didn't add any sugar because I added honey instead. I think the next time I'll add some vanilla essence and will try almond milk instead of milk.
Brown Rice Flour is a staple in gluten-free cooking and baking.
I am a coffee fiend but I also love good quality green tea. Clipper's Green Tea is very good quality so the swap there was easy. Feedback on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus, when I shared my Holland & Barrett ingredients was to add honey to my green tea and great advice that was. The Bounce Coconut & Macadamia Protein Bliss was a chewy yum and I loved the fact that it was high in antioxidant Vitamin E. I came away from that snack experience reminding myself to drink more green tea. I used to drink lots of it when I lived and worked in South Korea those many years ago and brought the habit with me when I moved back to Ireland but gradually over time I forgot how much I enjoy it. It's great hot or refreshing cold.
The beetroot juice I'm afraid didn't do it for me but Patrick, my hubby, enjoyed it and I was happy he got his vitamin boost and the value from its natural nitrate qualities. The dates, cranberries and nuts … sure I could snack on them all day and they are a much healthier alternative to a slice of buttery toast or biscuits, which as a busy mother you can find yourself tempted by.
The quinoa dish was a huge hit! I kept the recipe very simple but I have to say you know it's good when your husband tries to sneakily rob it off your plate!
This dish as mentioned was simple but delicious. I started out by dividing the Cranberry Sprinkles into two cups. One cup contained all the larger nuts from the pack, such as the Almonds, Cashew Nuts and Pale-skin Peanuts. The other cup contained the Cranberries and seeds, such as the Pumpkin Seeds and Sunflower Seeds. It didn't take long at all, only 30 seconds. Then it was cooking time. I heated the rapeseed oil and added the chopped red onion, stirring them until they were soft. I added the quinoa and toasted it with the onions for about a minute before adding the vegetable stock. I brought it to the boil, covered the pot and let it simmer for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes I added the cup of cranberries, covered the pot and let the quinoa simmer until all the liquid was absorbed. This took another 10 minutes. So that's 20 minutes in total. Finally when the quinoa was cooked I tossed in the cup of mixed nuts and served it out onto two plates. This makes a delicious vegetarian dish but I added freshly fried chicken breast to protein it up even more. The chicken breasts were added to a frying pan half way through the quinoa cooking time and cooked on a low heat so it was timed correctly.
I really enjoyed the Holland & Barrett Ingredient Swap Challenge. I've taken a lot away from it. Holland & Barrett will no longer be the place I shop for vitamins only as they have a great selection of quality, authentic ingredients and their prices are really competitive too. Although no stranger to quinoa, it was a stranger to my kitchen, now it's a family friend. I'm looking forward to trying it as breakfast bake or in cereal bars as well as using it for my tasty dish above and in salads. I'd like to experiment more with the brown rice flour. I saw a recipe for homemade tortillas which could actually be great packed with the quinoa! I've reignited the passion with Green Tea my long-lost lover, and the Cranberry Sprinkles will now be a shopping list staple.

Win One/ Lose One: Latest Rulings in the IP Battles Over CRISPR/Cas9
On March 28, the latest round in the intellectual property battle over CRISPR/Cas9 ended with the European Patent Office (EPO) ruling in favor of the University of California / University of Vienna, the work of scientists Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier, and licensee CRISPR Therapeutics. The EPO granted the University of California (UC) a wide-ranging patent on the gene-editing technology, covering non-cellular uses and cellular applications in multiple cell types, including human and other eukaryotic cells and granting patent rights in 40 countries. The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office has followed suit, and granted a similarly broad patent.
This decision splits the battle over CRISPR intellectual property rights between the United States and the European Union, with the team of The Broad Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology / Harvard University, scientist Feng Zhang, and licensees including Editas Medicine coming out on top of a decision by the U.S. Patent and Trade Organization (USPTO), who ruled there was "no interference" between the two groups' filings. The UC group has appealed the USPTO's decision, and the Broad Institute group may appeal the EPO one. China and Japan have yet to make their own rulings in the IP battle.
CRISPR/Cas9 is fundamental technology that enables genes to be precisely edited. It is used to target and cut desired sequences of DNA, analogous to the use of a word processing program to cut and paste single letters or words from a document. Since its discovery, CRISPR/Cas9 has become an important tool for both fundamental biological research and increasingly for studies of genetic diseases and the development of potential new therapies for blood diseases, cancer and other illnesses.
While no one disputes that Doudna and Charpentier were the first to announce their discovery of the technology, at issue in the U.S. patent case is where they demonstrated CRISPR/Cas9's utility — in bacteria — and what that implies. The women filed their patent application first, but Feng Zhang and the Broad Institute expedited their own application and have been awarded a U.S. patent for Zhang's work, which extended CRISPR/Cas9 efforts to show how the technology could be used in more complex eukaryotic cells. The UC team filed an "interference" to invalidate Zhang's claim, but in January the USPTO ruled against them. The January USPTO ruling effectively declared that Zhang's application of the technique to human and mouse cells was a new and patentable invention, not an "obvious extension" of Doudna and Charpentier's work.
The UC lawyers say that their patent application in the EU was substantially the same as the UC patent filed in the United States. The EU patent was the subject of numerous third party "observations" filed by the Broad Institute and others, objecting to issuance of an EU patent for the UC team, but these were all dismissed by the EPO as not altering patentability. While the January ruling against the UC team in the United States was a set-back, UC and CRISPR Therapeutics believe the EU patent opens the door to USPTO issuing a patent on their filing that backs CRISPR/Cas9's use in all cells, leaving in place the Broad Institute patent covering its specific application to eukaryotic cells.
Intellectual property battles on fundamental and financially valuable technology can take 10 years or longer before they are ultimately settled. And long IP fights can put a serious chill on scientific collaboration, as inventors are encourage to keep their advances a closely held secret until the potential financial value is sufficiently secured. The best outcome in this case is likely to be a near-term cross-licensing deal so that companies seeking to use the technology can get licenses to both group's patents, enabling them to move forward with the certainty they won't be sued.

For those wiring on board chargers, does wiring on the battery side of your contactor make a difference? I had last build that way, but I am not sure I want to have to have the contactor closed for charging? Charger and bms will be in charge of cutting things off if it gets fishy, but I might be forgetting something obvious.
Wire the charger directly to the battery, not through the contactor. It's actually better if the charger isn't connected to the controller when charging. If you want an extra safety let the BMS cut off power to the charger with a relay on the AC input.
I used one of these solid state relays on the charger port to let the BMS shutoff charge current. The charger sees the current drop to zero and shuts down.
