A big well done to the Year 5/6 pupils who represented Mapplewells at the Nottinghamshire County Cross Country Event last weekend. The children ran amazingly well and showed great sportsmanship in supporting each other - we couldn't be more proud! 

Also, a huge thank you to Miss Christie, Mrs Warren and all of the family members who give up their Saturday mornings to support these events. We couldn't do it without you!

We are excited to announce a Preloved Uniform Exchange available in the courtyard! This initiative is a great opportunity for families to take gently used school uniforms completely free of charge. If your family can make use of any uniform, feel free to take whatever you need—no questions asked.

How it works:

• Location: The courtyard

• When: Every Friday morning and afternoon

• What to take: Simply help yourself to whatever you need!

This is a wonderful way to support one another and ensure that everyone has access to the uniform their children need.

Note: We are not accepting uniform that you may wish donate at this stage as we have limited storage in school.

Thank you.

In English, the Year 3 and 4 children have been working hard writing their Roman adventure stories. They started off the sequence of learning by acting out being a Roman soldier. The children planned, drafted and edited their Roman adventure story before publishing it. Their work is now displayed in Sutton-in-Ashfield library

Year 5 children celebrated publishing their diary entries by reading their finished pieces to KS1 children. The diary entry was written from a perspective of a WW1 soldier on a battleship sailing in an Arctic convoy. It was great to see how proud and confident Year 5 children were when showcasing their work and to see the involvement and interest of our KS1 children.

Thank you to everyone who donated for non uniform day on Thursday 26th September. Donations to Macmillan, big and small, help raise vital funds to support the 3 million people in the UK living with cancer, from the moment they are diagnosed, throughout treatment and beyond. We raised £207- well done everyone!
