KS2 Girls – T&W Cricket Tournament

 

A massive well done to the KS2 girls who competed in the T&W cricket tournament held at Arscott Cricket Club. They played through rain, wind and sun but no matter the weather they demonstrated fantastic, positive attitudes throughout. They had won 2, drew 1 and lost 1 until the weather finally put a stop to the competition.

Burglar Alarms

Year 6 have been investigating electricity in science this week and today were set the challenge of making a burglar alarm for Miss Saville’s house. We investigated making our own switches by using insulators and conductors, which broke and connected our circuit, allowing the buzzer to sound when the door was opened.

Watch the video of our burglar alarm in action on a door!

Bike4Life Year 6

This weekend, George (in Year 6) attended and supported the Bike4Life event with his family. The well-known ride is 26 miles from Meole Brace in Shrewsbury, to the Bike4Life Festival at Weston Park in Shropshire and attracts more than 6,000 bikers, who help to raise money for the Air Ambulance. Well done George for spending your weekend supporting such an important cause!

Fundraising – Diabetes UK

We are so proud to share Rooney’s efforts with you, from Year 6, who has been fundraising for Diabetes UK completing a sponsored swim. Since the 22nd of March, Rooney has swam well over 12 miles (surpassing his goal of 11 miles), raising over £350 for charity. His hope is to help raise awareness for Diabetes and support his grandmother who lives in Hong Kong. We are so proud of you Rooney! Just keep swimming!

SATS Reward

Year 6 have worked incredibly hard in the run up to their SATS this week and earned a well-deserved treat: a trip to the town park for a picnic and play on the equipment. The sun was shining and we had a lovely afternoon. We are so proud of the way the children have conducted themselves this week, really rising to the challenge! Well done Year 6!
A special thank you to Zach’s mum for keeping us cool and refreshed with ice lollies and ice cream – very much appreciated and enjoyed by all. Thank you!

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.
