Radio Bristol Broadcast

Faiza, Zeeshan, Miss Huish and I were on Radio Bristol today.  We were on the Geoff Twentyman show discussing plans to transform the BBC garden are into a 'Living Classroom.

Well done Faiza and Zeeshan, you sounded great! You too Miss Huish.






Great Day out at the BBC

Faiza and Zeeshan were invited BBC Broadcasting House on Whiteladies Road this more.  They were part of consulting group meeting to plan and design a new 'living classroom' garden space outside the front of the BBC Building.

We met with Jules Hyam from Points West and representatives from Springwatch, Countryfile, Gardeners' World and the Avon Wildlife Trust.  They were all keen to hear Zeeshan and Faiza's ideas about what the garden should include.  Geoff Twentyman was there to interview us for BBC Bristol.

After the meeting Jules took us around the studios were we saw the Points West news broadcast live and met with presenter Ali Vowles.  We had a great day out.

Spring Fair

We might not have had the brightest weather for our Spring Fair but there was plenty to feel happy about inside and out.  Claire Humphreys once again did a fantastic job of organising a brilliant event for us all.  Thank you Claire, and thanks also to all the parents and staff members who stayed to help run stalls or made contributions.

Book character day


Well done staff, parents and children for all your innovative costumes to celebrate Book Week.  I was very fortunate to have my Mr Man outfit made for me by Miss Williams.  A very professional job too!  Do you recognise these characters?

World Book Day Visitors

We had some very special guests at Cabot today.

Our Reception and Year 1 pupils have really enjoyed learning about dinosaurs this year so you can imagine how thrilled they were to meet Andy from Andy's Dinosaur Adventures! Andy read them a story and then showed them a jaw bone from a T-Rex!  We then all joined in together for our favourite dinosaur rap,  "Stegosaurus...Stegosaurus, Stega-Stega - saurus!"


Also, after the Reception class visit last week to the Gruffalo trail, the Gruffalo decided it was his time to come and visit them!  He went for a wander around the school and said hello to each class.



Thank you Andy and Gruffalo for making our World Book Day celebrations so special.
