On Monday, children from the athletics after school club represented Mapplewells at the district school games cross country.

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.
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.
