The Power of Student Presence in Monologues and Soliloquies
One of the many highlights so far this year has been studying Othello with the year 10s.

Some past examples of successful IA topics include: - Finding the optimal trajectory of a basketball - Exploring different strategies when playing Monopoly - Modelling the best “kick” in karate - An exploration into the number e≈2.718... - The mathematics behind shuffling cards - Exploring the birthday paradox

Language Portrayals
During the first 2 weeks back to school, starting a new academic year, we wanted to hear our students' voices and learn about their perspectives with regards to language learning. We used the Language Portrayals because each person has a particular connection to the language(s) they know along with their lives. What would that look like to our pupils? Is there a preference for any language? Which one do they prefer talking about? Or writing? Or listening to music?

The Power of Words
The closure of schools and the limits placed on the socialisation of young children has led to concerns about the development of speech and language skills in Early Years pupils. What can we, as a school, and you, as parents, do to help mitigate this effect?

Reintegrating into Presential School
It actually felt like my first day at BCB on Aug 16th, though I had joined a year back. For the first time, I saw most of the students, used a notebook and pen after a long time and actually had face to face conversations with my colleagues and students. Laughter, chatter, moving of furniture as the students settled into their classrooms all felt new but exciting. I know for a fact that the PE, ART and Science teachers were the most jubilant as finally they could actually do some actual practical teaching.
