Year 5 Bake Off

Well done Year 5 pupils for taking part in your special Bake Off challenge.  First they harvested some apples straight from Whitchurch Community Orchad before being whisked off to Ashton Court to rise to the challenge of making the tastiest Apple Crumble.  The panel of judges were very impressed by the high standard of cooking shown by our children.  Team 2 were the winners and will compete in the next round against other schools.

Oliver Twist

The whole of Key Stages 1 and 2 enjoyed a full cast production of Oliver Twist by visiting theatre company M&M Productions this week.  Children enjoyed this classic tale that covered a range of emotions.  We loved joining in the singing of Food ,Glorious Food  and we were truly gripped whenever Bill Sykes came on  stage.  Many of the children have told us they've been inspired by this performance.  Playing 'Oliver Twist' has been a favourite playground game this week.  We're looking forward to seeing the children do some performances of their own very soon.

The Vikings are coming!

Year 5 had a fantastic Wow Day learning all about Vikings.  As well as dressing up, they devised some detailed instructions about how to make a Viking helmet and model longboat.

A special visitor

A very special visitor came to meet Year 1 and Year 2 pupils on their Wow day.  

We were all a bit nervous at first but he turned out to be very friendly.  He seemed to find our jelly very tasty!

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
