Maths Success at Wrekin College

We are so incredibly proud of our Year 6 mathematicians who recently took part in a Maths Challenge at Wrekin College.

Our team of 4 – Noah, Eva, Sofia & Theo – competed against 30 other school from across Shropshire in a series of complex fluency, reasoning & problem solving challenges.

We are delighted to say that our team achieved 3rd position and were narrowly behind the runners up. They received certificates during our Whole School Celebration Assembly as well as some gifts from Wrekin College.

We are delighted that our children got the opportunity to showcase their mathematical ability and they deserve great praise, not just for their 3rd place finish, but for how they represented our school within the county competition.

Year 5 and 6 – BBS music assembly!

What a fantastic assembly year 5 and 6 had this afternoon with some staff from BBS. They were lucky enough to listen to some different instruments from the woodwind and brass families! Some children were even able to learn Mary had a little lamb in 5 minutes!

We will shortly be sending home letters for anyone who would be interested in lessons with a woodwind or brass instrument.

A big thank you to BBS for coming to our school! We all loved it!

Year 5 & 6 Movie Making Club

Well done to my Year 5&6 Movie Makers!

This week, we learnt how to add sound to a JPEG file. This was done using the app Chatterkid and the children had lots of fun doing it.

Next week, we will be learning to use a BRAND NEW software called “Adobe Express” where will learn how to add sound to animation.

See you again for another fun session!
