What makes Mapplewells special? 

 

Look at some of the amazing experiences our pupils have experienced on their journey as MAPPLEWELLIANS

How does your garden grow?

 

This term, our enquiry question in EYFS is 'How does your garden grow?'

To kickstart our learning, the F2 children have had some very special visitors arrive - caterpillars!

 

We can't wait to look after them and watch them grow!

Happy Easter!

 

The children of Mapplewells have been invited to wear their Easter Bonnets for our Easter assembly this afternoon! Look how great they are!

Volcanoes in Year 3

Still image for this video
The Year 3 enquiry question this term is 'What makes Europe united?' The children have been planning, creating and painting their own volcanoes during DT lessons as part of their learning about Natural disasters. 

Today, they have enjoyed witnessing their volcanoes erupting! 

National Storytelling Week - Reading for Pleasure

 

As part of National Storytelling Week, the children at Mapplewells have paired up with another class to share our favourite stories with one another. 

We have had a great week sharing and retelling stories!

Curriculum Enquiries - Authentic Outcomes

 

  • Now we are at end of our Autumn term the children are coming to the end of their curriculum enquiries for the Autumn Term. Each class has ended with an authentic outcome which is a way of them putting their knowledge and progress to use to showcase what they have learnt. It has been wonderful to see the children present so confidently their knowledge and understanding in a variety of different ways.
  • F1 - What makes me special? - Produced a class book containing everything that makes them special.
  • F2 - What is special about me? - Produced an amazing video explaining what is special about them, other people and a local hero.
  • KS1 - Who changed the world for me? - Took part in a history maker day, producing a wonderful display and showcasing their key knowledge in their final pieces of work.
  • Yr 3 - How do we find out about the past?- Stone Age day - children dressed up as stone age people and painted some wonderful cave paintings.
  • Yr 4/5 - How do we benefit from change? - children presented their key knowledge and learning to the whole school in an assembly which was also attended by an expert from the Mansfield Museum.
  • Yr 6 - What are the consequences of conflict? - Children wrote a poem on conflict and performed them along with a range of Christmas carols at a local church to raise money for the British Legion.

 

In addition, the children have had a range of opportunities throughout the term including Year 6 visiting the Holocaust Centre, Yr 4/5's trip to Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre, Yr 3's trip to Brakenhurst College for a Stone Age Experience, KS1 space day with visit from the planetarium and EYFS numerous visit's from people who help us.

 

As a result of these great experiences and opportunities the children have produced amazing work demonstrating their new knowledge and vocabulary and the school environment looks amazing with all of the enquiry displays throughout. Check out the photos, for a glimpse into the wonderful experiences and learning the children have undertaken.

EYFS Christingle

 

Today, our EYFS children took part in a Christingle service in school. They have created their own Christingles, learning about what each part represents and why the Christian Church celebrate Christingle during advent.

EYFS Nativities

 

Both F1 and F2 put in amazing performances of their Nativities over the past couple of weeks. The children had worked exceptionally hard learning their words, songs and dances and this hard work paid off in their fantastic performances. Well done to all the children who took part and thank you to the staff for their hard work getting the children ready.

F2 in Forest School

 

F2 love their weekly Forest School sessions! This half term we have shown perseverance and resilience in climbing the rope ladder, made creations using our imagination in the mud kitchen, observed seasonal changes in our environment and learnt how shadows are formed!

Children in Need

 

We are super proud to announce that we have raised £318 for Children in Need today. Well done Mapplewellians!

Anti-Bullying Week - One Kind Word

 

Last week, all the children at Mapplewells took part in Anti-bullying week which this year was focused on 'One kind Word'.  Each class undertook a range of work focused on saying kind words or performing kind acts for others and this having a ripple effect where others will do the same. Children also took part in an Anti-Bullying assembly where they were challenged to try and do more kind acts for others.

Remembrance Assembly

 

Ks2 took part in our Remembrance Assembly yesterday (11.11.21) to pay their respects to servicemen and women who have lost their lives in conflict. Colonel Keith attended the ceremony and explained to the children the importance of the poppies and how donations help the Royal British Legion. Following this, Mr Latkowski explained more about Remembrance day before the children observed two minutes silence at 11 o'clock. The children showed great respect throughout and their behaviour was impeccable. On display were also the Poppy wreaths made by each of the classes in the school.

 

KS1 Planetarium

KS1 Planetarium

EYFS - People who help us

 

EYFS have had some visitors in school today as part of our ‘What is special about me?’ enquiry question. We have learnt lots of facts about being a Prison pharmacist, nurse,  musician, hairdresser and radiographer! 

Yr 4/ 5 at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre

 

This week our Year 4&5 pupils visited the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre. Our pupils were a credit to themselves and to our school. The pupils loved it and learned so much. Thank you for having us
