Ambassadors' Party

Our previous term's School Ambassadors' enjoyed the celebration party in a little bit of sunshine today.  They all did a great job representing the school on important occasions.

To the Ambassadors!

Term 1 September 2016

Dear All,

Welcome to the new academic school year,

It was great to see you all again after the Summer break.  It sounds like many of you have made some interesting journeys to places around the world.  Others like me have stayed closer to home and enjoyed the chance to catch up with friends and family.  Thank you so much for the lovely plant some of you presented me with at the end of term.  The flowers came into bloom and brightened my home throughout the holiday.

The children settled very well in their new classes yesterday.  We welcomed our new members of staff to their first official day at Cabot.  Our new class teachers are Miss Quinton in Year 1, Miss Heeley in Year 5 and we also welcomed Miss Pyburn who will be supporting Mrs Taylor in Reception.  I know many of you have already introduced yourselves to them.  They are available for quick check ins at the start and end of the day though you can arrange to meet with them by appointment if you would like to have a longer discussion.  There will be parents meetings in the week beginning 10th October where you can all spend some more time with your child's class teacher.

I wish you all a positive week as we reacquaint ourselves with school routines.

Best wishes,

Mr Burton

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!
