Wookey Hole

Year 4 had a brilliant day today despite the rain. We began the day walking through the caves where we seen bats, stalactites and stalagmites. We then went to explore the paper and diving museum followed by a walk around the paper mill where we watched the process of making paper and drying it which has been happening in Wookey Hole for many years. In the afternoon we explored the dinosaur valley and then watched a short film in the 4D cinema ride. Take a look at a few pictures from our day below.

Recycling Project

As previously posted, Year 4 have been working with a local artist, Felix, to create some recycling stickers that will go around the local area to remind and promote people to recycle and look after the environment. The children were learning about the importance of a simple but clear message as well as different ways to create an engaging image. Together their ideas have created three stickers that are going to be stuck on bins in recycling areas in and around Bristol. Today we went on local walk and began to display some. Both the children and staff at Cabot are very impressed.  Take a look at final product below.

Wild Place

Wild Place Trip

On the 1st of February, Year 4 went to Wild Place for the day. We looked at amazing animals from across the world including the mischievous lemurs of Madagascar and the striking grey wolves of Europe. We also listened to the Lemur talk and watched their feeding time.

In the afternoon did some outdoor learning where we explored the local environment to find natural items such as sticks, leaves, using them to create a piece of art work. Take a look a the images below to see what animals we found out about.
