Year 6 2021-22

Hello Year 6! It's Mr Town here. I hope you are all doing ok! It was really nice to see some of you while I was making some deliveries with Mr Shamsudin and Mrs Holian, and it has been great to catch up with others on the phone. There has been some lovely sunshine over the past few days; don't forget that even though we have been asked to stay at home as much as possible, we are still allowed to go outside for some exercise like a walk or a run once a day, as long as we make sure that: it is with the same people that we live with, and we don't meet up with other friends or family we stay 2 metres away from anyone else who is outside If you can't get outside, or if you just want to get some extra indoor exercise, remember that every day at 9.00am Joe Wicks is streaming a new P.E. workout on his Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/thebodycoachtv , which you can also watch later. (I have been doing this myself - I am hoping that by the end of the is...

Good morning, Year 6! First, and most importantly, we miss you! We hope you are all staying safe and well with your families, and if you are going outside for your daily exercise, you are following the government's instructions to keep yourselves safe. (Please also follow all previous advice about washing your hands more often for at least 20 seconds and avoiding touching your face.) Remember that this is to keep us all safe. It's been really lovely to catch-up with some of you by phone over the past few days. We will try to call you all at least once a week from now onwards. If someone from Cabot hasn't called you yet, we aim to do so by the end of the week. If you haven't had a phone call from us by Friday afternoon, please call school and leave a message to tell us your phone number!  If you've run out of things to do, or want a break from what you have to do, then here are some (optional) midweek suggestions: David Walliams is reading one of his ...

Good morning Year 6! I hope you've all had lovely weekends (whilst being careful about social distancing). I spent a lot of the weekend reading, cleaning and catching up with family and friends over the phone. My sister reports that Marley, her elderly cat, thinks that she should ALWAYS work from home. Someone's been leaving positive messages on benches around my mum's town (I love their handwriting)! Apart from staying in touch with loved ones, I decided to visit a quiet hilltop near my house, Coaley Peak , to watch the sunset. The only other people up there were dog walkers, and we all stayed a good distance apart from one another. The water you can see in the background of the photo is the River Severn; beyond that is the Forest of Dean and in the very far distance it's just possible to see the Black Mountains, in Wales. If you'd like to 'visit' somewhere this week, then take a Google tour from the comfort of your home! You might like to ex...

Dear Year 6, We hope that you're all okay: safe, well and not feeling anxious. We've been thinking a lot about you this week, especially those of you who we haven't seen for a while - we miss you! To those children who we have seen this week, we have been overwhelmed by your resilience and partnership. You must be feeling very odd at the moment, whether you've been coming into school or not. Please don't worry: this is to help keep us all safe. We are thinking of you, and will be checking in with you regularly via this blog. Every Monday, we will be posting: - 1 literacy activity; - 1 maths activity; - 1 reading activity; - 1 topic activity. To start with, here are some photos from earlier in the year which made us smile because they were full of good memories. We are so proud to be your teachers, and we will miss you very much whilst school is closed. Please do contact us through the school office if you need any support from us (0117 377 2630 or  cabotp...

Every year, we take part in our local Rotary Club's writing competition. This year the theme was 'connections'. Year 6 wrote a wide range of responses to this theme, from poems to stories! Here are our five winners, and the overall winning poem: Connections In Everything - Asma I see connections, some I can’t, Connections in the human body, blood vessels and arteries, Some connections invisible to me and you, Some clear as a bright sunny day afar. I see connections, some I can’t Connections in roads, junctions, dual highways and more. Some connections we need forever, Others just for a while. I see connections, other’s I can’t, Connections to the world, Politics and others, some in ways that may seem strange, Ground-breaking scientists who paved the way. Connections are everywhere,   Just remember, links back down your family tree, Connections in wires and industries, Connections in many ways too. Although you may argue t...

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School were incredibly generous, and asked us if we'd like to watch a FREE performance of their version of Macbeth. Did we? Of course we did! We were blown away by how the actors managed to produce such an incredible performance, using so few props, with such a small cast. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Shakespeare and performance, and will hopefully inspire Year 6 for their summer show! Thank you!
