• Father's Day Coffee Morning

  Fri 16 Jun 2023

  It was so lovely to see so many dads/brothers/uncles come along to our coffee morning when dropping the children off for school. For some dads it was the chance to pick up a coffee and a samosa or croissant and head off to work. For others there was time to come in and sit down and have a chat with some of the other dads.

   

  It really was pleasure to welcome so many dads in to school. Happy Father's day this weekend.

• Inspiring the next generation

  Tue 13 Jun 2023

  Today we had a super proud moment in school when one of our ex-pupils, Asiba, came to school alongside two of her colleagues to deliver an assembly and workshops for some of our year 5 & 6 children around engineering and careers in engineering.

   

  Asiba delivered a wonderful assembly about her journey at Cape and beyond to the world of work where she is currently completing her civil engineering apprenticeship and working on the new HS2 project.

   

  Some of Asiba's family still attend Cape. Whilst Asiba was here she was always a fantastic role model and this has clearly continued as she inspires the next generation. At the end of the session one of our Year 5 girls came to Miss Baker to say she was going to be a project manager. It looks like we may have a number of children looking at a career in engineering in the future!

  

• Sunny Weather

  Mon 12 Jun 2023

  With the weather warming up significantly over the next few days and weeks we would like to remind parents of the importance of making sure your child is protected from the sun. Please can all parents ensure they apply a high factor (over factor 50), long lasting sun cream on to their child before school.

   

  In addition, please make sure your child has a sun hat (with their name in) that they can wear outside. Finally, all children have access to fresh water every day and access to a school water bottle. Children should not bring sugary or fizzy drinks in to school as they only end up dehydrating children.

   

  Thank you for your continued support and co-operation!

   

   

   

   

   

• Y4 Visit to Bishop's Wood

  Thu 08 Jun 2023

  Our year 4 children have been to visit Bishop’s Wood this week for a Stone Age experience as part of their creative work. One of the children has written a lovely recount of the day:

  Our trip to Bishop’s Wood was amazing. We had a great time being a Stone Age person for the day. It was in a deep forest. There were big and small creatures (animals) all around us. It was like we were actually in Stone Age times – but mostly in the Neolithic period because it was a forming time and there was lots of grass there. First up, we learnt how in the Mesolithic period people were always travelling so we built frames to carry our equipment. We did this because at this time people kept moving areas so when people had nothing to hunt they moved to eat animals. After we built our A frames we took them apart and started building our shelters but with bendy willow tree parts. Then we had our lunch after that long journey! Then Greg (the man looking after us) told us about 5 activities which we did in groups. There was hunting and gathering, Stone age grain and flour, building houses and finally making a fire! These activities were fun and taught us more about the Stone Age. After that, finally our day as a Stone Age person ended. We had fun! Why don’t you visit Bishop’s Wood!
