Spelling Bee

We walked to St Werburgh's this afternoon to take part in a Spelling Bee with several local schools. The first few rounds featured words from the Year 5/6 spelling list, but once we'd run out of those, the words got a lot harder! Each school had six children representing them. After four rounds, we still had three children from Cabot in the competition! We ended up coming join second, after being foiled by the very tricky word, 'sovereign'. Well done to all who took part - you represented Cabot excellently, and we are so proud of you!

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?
