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 - 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?

Term 5 and 6 - Music

We've been lucky enough to take part in some African drumming workshops as part of our preparations for our school carnival this year! We've been having weekly lessons with Richard and Mike, who have taught us how to play rhythms on the djembe, bongos and bass drums, as well as the bells and the shakers. Year 6 persevered when learning the different rhythms, and worked hard to try to play in time with each other. We were very proud of our final performance to the whole school!

Year 6 2021-22
