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!
