The Countdown to Christmas has begun.

Miss Pearce and her dad spent Sunday afteroon choosing this magnificent tree for the school hall. Staff and children have done a fantastic job of decorating it.  We wish all of you a peaceful and happy time during the season of advent.

Some important dates for you coming up this term.
Monday 10th December - Pupils from Cabot will be performing at St Paul's Unlimited AGM held at The Salvation Army on Ashley Road. Some of our Key Stage 1 pupils will be performing songs from this year's Christmas Performance and our Year 5 Steel Pan band will be playing some festive tunes.  All are welcome to come and support Cabot Primary School at this improtant Community event.

Tuesday 18th December - Key Stage 1 Christmas Play. The performance starts at 9:15.  Please arrive promptly to get the best seats. Latecomers will not be admitted as this causes distraction and disrupts the performance.  Pupils and staff are working very hard to create an impressive performance and we don't want anything to spoil it for them or the audience.

Thursday 20th December - School Christmas Dinner. Even if your child does not usually have a school dinner they are welcome to have one on this day. Please complete the request form and send payment to the office as soon as possible.

Thursday 20th December - Sparkle Day.  We understand that within our diverse community not everyone celebrates Christmas.   I think it is important to share with pupils the meaning of Christmas and its significance as a cultural and religous event.  However, as you know, Inclusion is one of our core values and we would like to have a day when we can all share in celebration regardless of faith.  Thursday 20th December will be Sparkle Day. A day when we encourage everyone to be as shiny and sparkly as possible, on the inside and out.  Pupils are invited to wear the sparkliest costumes possible. Prizes will be given for imaginative ideas.

Best Wishes

Mr Burton
