Year 5 road safety project

Look what Year 5 have done for our community!

With the help of our friends and Sustrans and local artist, Felix, our pupils have designed a piece of road art to help calm traffic on one of our busy streets.  It was good fun having a community part on Grosvenor whilst it was closed to traffic.

Cabot Carnival

As you know there is no St Paul's carnival planned for this year.  But that didn't stop us having our own Cabot event.  Miss Heppner did a fantastic job of organising and arranging our own in school event.  

We had all the colour, dancing and samba rhythms you'd expect to find in Rio!

Thank you PTFA for donating the money needed to pay for the Samba workshops for every class.

Ex pupil visit

I felt very proud today to welcome Jade to Cabot Primary School.  I taught Jade when she was in Year 6 many years ago.  She then went on to study at Cotham Secondary school where she achieved 12 GCSEs and 3 A-levels - all at grade A.  She has just completed a degree in Neuroscience with first class honours and planning to go on to complete her medical qualifications to become a doctor.

She took some time out of her busy life to come and talk to our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils about her education experiences and the challenges she has faced along the way. There were some great questions.   Jade was keen to hear how the children were getting on.  She did some volunteer work with us a few years ago and was really pleased to catch up with all the changes.

We hope to see her again soon!

Eid Celebration

Thank you so much to all the parents who helped make our Eid celebration such a wonderful inclusive event.  The food was delicious and we all had a great time in the sunshine.  Eid Mubarak everyone!

Chess Success!

Congratulations to all our pupils who took part in our Chess in Schools competition thisweek.  All our pupils played really well, and I've heard back from the organisers that their spoting behaviour was exemplary.  A special well done needs to go to our Year 6 team who came first in the Year 6 category - out of all the teams that took part from across Bristol.  We are very proud of you!

Visit to Horseworld

I was lucky enough to go along on one of our school visits at the end of last term.  I joined Year 3 on their trip to Horseworld.  The children learnt lots of interesting facts, including how horses digest their food.  But the best part was getting up close to the horses themselves.  They were all so friendly!

Everyone got the chance to groom a horse and take one for a walk. There was time for some horse hugs too.  Thanks inviting me along Year 3.

Dads v Staff Football

There was a great deal of action and excitement in today's Dads versus Staff football match this afternoon.  It seemed at one point the Staff were going to run away with a victory but the Dads worked their way back in to the game from 4-1 down.  The final score was 7-7.  Well done to all the staff for a thrilling game and thank you to the supportive crowd for turning out to cheer us all on.
