Term 2: Lantern Parade

We had a fantastic time celebrating 100 years of cinema in Bristol yesterday evening! Cabot children and their parents played Top Trumps with a deck of cards featuring local cinemas, which was designed by another local school. Fuelled by our free hot chocolates (thank you, Ruth and Pete!), we then paraded our lanterns through Castle Park, stopping at the locations of Bristol's former cinemas. In each location, we watched a short film, representing the films cinema-goers would have watched when the cinemas were still standing.

Our lanterns looked amazing in the darkness, and we loved watching the old Mickey Mouse cartoons! Cabot children have learnt a lot about the cultural heritage of Bristol; we've really enjoyed taking part in this project. Thank you to all the parents and staff who came and celebrated with us!

Term 6 - Writing

In literacy lessons, we have been learning about part of S. F. Said's book, 'Phoenix'. We read an edited version of the first chapter, and over the next few weeks, created our own action stories based on that.

Term 6 - Language Skills

Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!

Term 6 - Music Week

For Music Week, we listened to 'The Carnival of the Animals'. Year 6 focused on 'The Aviary'. After discussing the piece of music, we looked at images of birds and then collaborated as a table to create our own bold, beautiful birds. Don't they look great?

Year 6 2021-22
