New Website Sections

Dear Parents,

We have made several updates to the school website. There are now new sections with information about:

French
PE
The 2014 Curriculum

We also have a special section dedicated to Reading, our School Improvement Priority area for this year. This section also links to the Library. Your child can access our Junior Librarian progamme from here and review their library account.

My favourite update to the website is our link to a recording of our new Cabot Anthem. You can find it in the Performing Arts events section, or by clicking the link below.

PE Kits

Dear Parents,

I am pleased to share with you that we will be introducing a school PE kit. We will issue each child with their own PE kit and bag for them to keep it all in. The bags are colour coded for each class and pupils will be able to keep their bags as they move up the school. Look out for the letter this afternoon with further details.

Best Wishes

Mr Burton

Music Week

Music week is going fantastically well. On Monday pupils worked with a group of musicians to to write and perform our own School Anthem. It sounds great! We will try to get a recording of it on the school website as soon as possible. This morning we have the Bristol Reggae Orchestra coming to support our singing assembly. Miss Heppner has done a fantastic job of organising some excellent music activities this week.

Parent Meetings

Dear Parents,

We have scheduled parent teacher meetings for Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th of November. Sign up sheets will be in classrooms from this Wednesday. Please sign up for an appointment time with your child's teacher. More details of how to access the building for the meetings will follow soon. The new building layout means there will be some changes from previous meeting nights.

PUPILS at Cabot Primary School are celebrating the opening of their new library.

The school in St Pauls has so far been without a dedicated library space, but now they have a new £35,000 facility housing story books, textbooks and iPads.

Gemma Davies, a reading recovery teacher, said: "This is a fantasticresource and opportunity for the children.

"Before we had the library, we had books in classrooms but no space for the children to go and read and research. It is brilliant to see it open.

"It has got brand new furniture, computers, places to sit and books for them, it's an amazing space. We are grateful to have it."

Around 190 children attend the school, which put aside part of its budget to turn the building into a library.

The school also has Reading Recovery teaching, an intervention scheme for children with reading difficulties.

Specially-trained teachers work with six-year-olds who are in the bottom 20 per cent of their class in terms of reading.
