13.6.17 - Architecture workshop

Year 5 and 6 were very lucky to be visited by Clare (one of our parents) who is an architect.  She explained a little about what her job involves.  Also, she demonstrated how to build up a realistic technical drawing using 2 vanishing points. We had a go at doing some perspective drawings inspired by her visit.

We then had a go at our own perspective drawings:

Bristol Zoo - Educational visit 24.5.17

Year 6 had a fantastic day at Bristol Zoo.  As well as being able to visit the zoo's many exhibits; Year 6 also participated in a workshop about Evolution and Adaption - which is the class topic.

Spelling Bee - 27.4.17

Six pupils from year 6 did a fantastic job representing the school at the annual spelling Bee competition.  This year five schools participated: Banerman Road, St Werburghs, Glenfrome, St Barnabas and Cabot Primary.

All the children representing their schools's performed extremely well - every word from the year 5/6 statutory list was accurately spelled.  Cabot managed to stay in until the last five children, but were just pipped to the post by St Barnabas, who were the overall winner.

Well done to all who participated!

E safety - 9.2.17

Tuesday 6th February was safer internet day.  Today Jasmine Percival from Avon and Somerset Police came in to remind year 6 about the importance of staying safe online.

Building the Matthew 7.2.17

This term year 6 are studying explorers and their link to Bristol's local history.  We have focused particularly on John Cabot and his voyage in 1497 when he made contact with Newfoundland, Canada.  As part of this topic, we were lucky enough to participate in a workshop where we worked in teams to build a model of the Matthew, Cabot's ship.  Once decorated, these boats will be raced as part of Bristol's Harbourside festival in July.
