Y2 Germs! Germs! Germs!

In Science we have been learning all about hygiene. We found out that germs are so tiny that we can’t see them with our eyes. The French Scientist Louis Pasteur discovered that germs travel from person to person through touch. To test this out, we covered our hands in germs (herbs) and saw how quickly they spread when we touched someone else or an object. It was messy and super fun!

Y2 First Aid Day

We learnt all about what to do in an emergency. We found out that an emergency is a dangerous situation that needs immediate help. We now know that we call 999 and ask for the emergency service we need. This could be police, fire or ambulance. When we call, we have to tell the operator what has happened and where we are. We know that we must never call 999 if it is not an emergency.

A Thank You From Y2!

What a first week we have had in Year 2! We have loved using all of the new resources in our classrooms and we wouldn’t have had them without you. We want to say a massive thank you to all the amazing parents/carers that chose to donate money so that we could provide lovely new play equipment for your children to enjoy. Also thank you to those of you that had a sort out for us and donated toys too. The greenhouse has been a particular hit and we have already planted daffodil bulbs, pansies and sweet peas. We can’t wait to see them grow. Here are a few photos of just some of the things you helped us to purchase. THANK YOU!

It is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to Mr Davies as he embarks on an exciting new chapter.

Having been part of The Captain Webb team for over 10 years, Mr Davies has made a lasting impact on the lives of so many children and colleagues. He will be greatly missed by everyone who has had the pleasure of working and learning alongside him.

We thank him for all his hard work, support and dedication over the years, and we wish him the very best in his new role. We look forward to hearing all about his future successes.

From all of us at The Captain Webb, thank you and good luck, Mr Davies! 🍀

Year 2 Monster Mayhem

 

Back in spring our Year 2 pupils entered a competition where they had to design and draw their very own monster.  Some of our pupils were lucky enough to have their designs published in the book MONSTER MAYHEM, which is now in our school library.  We are very proud of them all!

Year 2 Boys Crossbar Cup

 

On Wednesday the Year 2 boys took part in the penultimate Crossbar Cup of the summer, for some of them it was their first time representing the school!

 

After some tricky games in the group stage (only losing 1 game out of 5!) we finished 3rd, giving us a spot in the semi final of the plate competition.

 

After a comfortable victory in the semis, we went through to the final against a very good Hollinswood team who unfortunately scored a fantastic goal to defeat us 1-0.

 

Whilst the boys were disappointed to lose in the final, they should be extremely proud of themselves for leaving with silver medals in a tournament with so many quality teams.

Year 2 Careers Week

As part of Careers Week, Year 2 enjoyed visits from some very special guests who shared their exciting jobs with us.

We were fascinated to meet Tom, a British Airways pilot, who told us all about his daily role, the important safety checks he completes before every flight, and the many amazing destinations he has travelled to around the world. We even had the chance to pretend we were landing an aeroplane and were thrilled to try on his pilot’s hat!

We also welcomed a hairdresser called Sam, who explained what it’s like to work in a salon and shared some of the skills needed to care for and style hair. She told us that her favourite hairstyle that she has ever done was one for the Olympics!

 

The visits were a fantastic way to inspire our children and help them learn about a variety of careers. A big thank you to our visitors for giving up their time to make Careers Week so memorable!

British Science Week 2026

British Science Week this year was all about igniting children’s curiosity through questioning! We did lots of fun activities throughout school – here are just a few that the children took part in …

Year 1 spent some time outside and explored the different weather conditions we get in the UK! They wondered what happens when we sometimes have sun and rain together? And why do we have fog in Autumn?

In Year 2, they looked at what plants need to grow. They had a discussion about plants and came up with a few questions that they were intrigued to find out from their experiment! They are…Do plants need sunlight to grow? How many days will it take our sunflower to grow?  What will happen if we do not water our plants? Can we grow sunflowers without water and sunlight?

Year 4 discovered why it was so important to look after our teeth. They placed eggs in different liquid and studied what happened over time. They realised the egg shells acted like the enamel on our teeth and discovered what sugary drinks, vinegar and coffee could do to your teeth!
