Glamsci

Paddington sat down sadly
On a green and quiet glade
And pulled a sandwich from his little hat
Made With the nicest marmalade

He had heard sad news this very day
That the Queen's life had come to an end
He cried because that day they met
She had become his bestest friend
They had shared some tea
That very day when to the Palace he had been invited
He remembered he could hardly speak
He was so very very excited

He offered her his sandwich
Made with such love and care
She smiled at him and with a grin
She showed that little bear

That inside of her handbag
There was something she had made
And that She too kept a special sandwich
Made of the finest marmalade

Although he was just a little bear
And she a regal queen
Watching her take that sandwich out her bag
Was the best thing he had seen

He wondered if any body else would miss her
Now that she had gone
And his heart was filled up to the brim
When he turned his little phone on

He saw that Facebook had been flooded
With her pictures old and new
And that he himself that little bear
Was also in them too

Although today he is the saddest
That he has ever been
He will always lovingly remember
The day he had tea with the Queen

This Poem was written by a friend of Austen's Cafe - Emma Dennett and it was so delightful i thought I’d share it with you.

The heart is one of the most important organs in the body as it delivers oxygenated blood (blood exposed to oxygen from the lungs) to our cells, allowing them to respire and release energy. This lets us move around and survive. The heart consists of many parts which work together to make it perform efficiently. Here are the functions of these parts:...

Diabetes Mellitus is a common yet serious condition where your blood glucose levels (BGL) are not regulated by your body well enough. This can lead to your BGL’s being too high or too low, both of which are dangerous. Scientists are figuring out the causes of diabetes. Type 2 develops due to your body’s resistance to insulin, mainly caused by an unhealthy lifestyle....

How can doctors monitor and assess a patient’s head injury to see what’s the best course of action to take? How can they know what problem is going on in a patient’s abdomen without having to use invasive forms of surgery? How can they better understand about a patient’s mind from a neuroscientific aspect? The answer to all of these questions, and many more, is because of MRI....

Since the first use of penicillin in 1942, antibiotic resistant bacteria have started to evolve. Usually, resistance develops quickly (a few years after drug introduction). This means that bacterial infections that once were benign could become deadly (back to how bacterial infections were prior to antibiotics). However, there are a few plans that could help combat the threat of bacterial infections....

Surgery is a growing field. New technologies and methods for carrying out procedures are constantly evolving, making surgery much more safer and result in higher success rates. However, in the past, this wasn't at all the case. All aspects of medicine weren't as advanced and were completely different, including surgery. Anaesthesia wasn’t even around until the mid-19th century so you can probably imagine how painful surgery must have been for the patients of the past....

Everyone must have heard of the “Save the bees” movement but not everyone knows why we must save the bees and many other insect species. Many people still view insects as pests, nuisances and bugs. However, the role they play in ecosystems is essential. Firstly, insects maintain the food web, which humans heavily rely on. Without insects, producers (plants) would not be pollinated and secondary consumer, that rely on insects as a source of food, would die out....

We are always looking for more related Learning Destinations and so I was thrilled to validate Glamsci who are a non-profit STEM educational charity, based in Greater London. In their own words, they "create bespoke hands-on events for Schools, Colleges, Local Businesses and Local Community Projects."

As we come out of Covid, I will be looking to see what we can offer to our CU pupils, so keep an eye out for events!
