Piano Exam Success!

Three of our children have been receiving piano lessons from Telford and Wrekin Music. Before the Easter holidays they all took part in a piano exam and passed with flying colours! Everyone at Captain Webb is extremely proud of them. Congratulations to our musicians Grayson, Kai and Andrea.

Loudmouth Workshop

Year 5 and 6 were invited to a workshop with Loudmouth today, a theatre in education company, who taught us all about how to stay safe online. We covered lots of different scenarios with the team who taught us about misinformation, disinformation and how to spot these online. We also went over what to do if we see something online that upsets us, and who we can discuss this with.

Telford Zonal – Chess Competition

 

On Monday, Captain Webb competed in the Telford Zonal chess competition at Windmill Primary School. They were bidding for a place in the final of the Shropshire Primary chess championship. After 5 closely fought rounds, Captain Webb emerged victorious and won the gold medal and the B team even managed 3rd place. Well done to all the players and in particular the winning team of Harry B, Lukas Z, Lochlan O’D and Luful S. Let’s wish them luck for the final in a couple of months time.

 

Neurodiversity Celebration Week Y6

Neurodiversity Celebration Week aims to bring about worldwide neurodiversity acceptance, equality and inclusion in schools and workplaces. In Y6, we spoke about what people who have neurodiversity may find difficult. We also talked about how best to support children in our classroom. We discussed how all our brains are different and we all have strengths, things we find more difficult and preferences to learning.

France Residential Year 6

Year 6 have had a fantastic 4 days in France. We have had a very cultured visit, sight seeing around Amiens, Montdidier and Pierrefonds. The children have also been practicing their French skills, visiting shops and bakeries around the town. We were really impressed with how the children immersed themselves into the French culture – trying new things (including frog’s legs and snails) and expanding their language skills. A hugely enjoyable visit that we look forward to hosting again next year.

 

EKO Art Project Y6

At the beginning of the year, Y6 had the opportunity to visit Weston Park for a day working with EKO (Educating Kids Outdoors) as part of a creative arts project in connection with the Rose Patterson art gallery. The funding obtained from the Telford and Wrekin arts society allowed 5 schools to have this opportunity, and we were lucky enough to be chosen.

We spent the day making sculptures inspired by Salvador Dali’s paintings of dream-like elephants. We looked at the local bird life in Telford and then made our own sculptures in the abstract style of Dali, which were then displayed as part of the Rose Patterson Art Gallery ‘Halls Young Artist’ competition (on exhibition at Weston Park). There were 240 birds altogether that have delighted many members of the public since their creation! Well done to all involved in this project!

World Book Day – Year 6

What a fantastic World Book Day! In Year 6, we focused on ‘Graphic Novels’, looking specifically at the story ‘Amulet’ by Kazu Kibuishi. We had a great day of performances, reading to the Reception classes in EYFS and letting our creativity soar!

Recorder Festival Y6

This week, Year 6 travelled to the Anstice in Madeley to take part in the Telford and Wrekin Recorder Festival. The children have been working hard in their music lessons to perfect these songs ready for an audience – and what a show they put on! The children did a fantastic job and did the school, and their music teachers, proud! Well done Y6!

Please enjoy these recordings from the day and the photos we took.

Girls Football Tournament

On Thursday we took a team to the Year 5/6 Girls T&W tournament at TCAT. We won our first 2 group matches and drew our third meaning we went through to the semi finals which we also won 2-0. In the final we played against Old Park, the game finished 0-0 after extra time so we went to penalties where we unfortunately lost. Although it was tough to lose the final on penalties the girls showed fantastic attitude and togetherness the whole tournament, highlighted especially by the fact they only conceded 1 goal in the 5 games they played.

Renae and Ronnie

 

Congratulation to Renae and Ronnie who both received trophies from their skills bouts they completed at the weekend.  Well done both, you are fantastic 🙂
