Carnival!

It's St Paul's Carnival this weekend! To mark the occasion, children and staff at school participated in our own Cabot Carnival. This year's theme is journeys, so every class took a different type of transport and learned a different poem to perform after we had processed to the Courts (in our transport-themed costumes).

Year 6 learned 'Windrush Child' by John Agard, who was one of the poets we studied earlier in the year (we love the way he performs his works). Our transport was cars, so we carefully studied and drew car manufacturers' logos and attached them to t-shits, masks and hats. We had a great time! There was such a lot of partnership taking place in our class in order to get ready for Carnival in time. Don't we look spectacular? Happy Carnival!

    1. Hi! This is carnival last year - sadly, I don't think we'll be able to celebrate carnival in the same way this year. I really enjoyed celebrating with last year's class though :)

Term 5 - Literacy

 In Literacy, we read and wrote discussion texts about whether or not artefacts such as the Benin Bronzes should be returned to their countries of origin. To explore the issue, Year 6 took part in role-play activities and conscience alleys to share their opinions and understand how different people might feel about this topical issue. Year 6 showed great maturity in discussing this topic and were able to express their viewpoints with evidence and arguments to back themselves up.
