Christmas Box Appeal 2022

By All School News

This autumn we asked our school community to bring in a gift in aid of the FSCI 2022 Christmas Box Appeal – and we ended up with a hallway overflowing with generous donations this week!

The Yeats house captains would like to say a big thank you to everyone that took the time to make and wrap their wonderful shoebox gifts for the appeal. Your generous gifts are now with the Foundation for Social Change and Inclusion and will be adding some festive magic to Christmas Day for over 100 children.

Artist of the Month – Jean Metzinger

The CBPPS Artist of the Month for November 2022 is the French Neo-Impressionism painter Jean Metzinger. Born in 1883, Metzinger was interested in painting, mathematics, music and science and started working as a professional artist from the age of 20.

Metzinger painted a variety of landscapes and later became one of the founders of an art movement called Cubism. The children will be learning about the artist and emulating his bold brushstrokes and vivid colours to create their own masterpieces in Art this November.

By All School News

Our Value of the Month for June at CBPPS is perseverance.

Having perseverance means having the ability to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again and again until you succeed.

Here are a few of our favourite inspirational quotes about perseverance.

“Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.” – Julie Andrews.

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas A. Edison
