We had an amazing week of Nativities this week as Years 1 and 2 got to showcase their talents in their nativity. The children have worked exceptionally hard to learn their lines, sing their songs and put wonderful performances. Throughout the week they have performed to packed houses and rapturous applause. Well done to all who took part and thank you to all the staff for their hard work and time putting on the performance. We are very proud of everyone!

Here are just a few of our wonderful actors. 

During the Autumn term Year 3 and 4 have been learning all things Romans!

In their Design and Technology lessons the children have been learning about the diet of the Romans and how this may look very different to our diets today. Today Maple, Oak and Juniper all had a go at making and tasting their own Roman bread creations flavoured with some rosemary. The children have had a fantastic time and have shown some excellent creativity and culinary skills in their making of the bread!

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our Children in Need fundraiser today! It was fantastic to see so many children and staff dressed up in pyjamas, onesies and spots to raise money for such a worthy cause.

Thanks to your generosity and participation, we raised an amazing £185 to support children in need across the UK. Well done, everyone! Your support makes a real difference, and we are so proud of our school community for coming together to help those who need it most.

On Monday, children from the athletics after school club represented Mapplewells at the district school games cross country. The children were absolutely superstars and represented us amazingly - they also finished in fantastic places, with Daisy coming 2nd in the girls race and bagging her spot in the finals in February!

Yesterday our harvest festival assemblies were led by Rev .Taylor and Mrs Taylor from St. Johns Methodist church. The children sang a traditional Harvest song and leaned about where our food comes from and considered what it would be like to have no food. We would like to give a massive thank you to all our generous families for their kind donations and to Mr Pilmore, a representative from local company Mitchells, who donated a huge amount of tinned & packet foods to our Harvest Festival collection supporting those in need.
