F1 and F2 absolutely loved our visit from the police this week! We talked about how the police keep us safe and how to know when we need to talk to them about an emergency. We tried on police clothes and we had a go in the police car too!

Year 3 and 4 have been using their geographical skills at Forest School, investigating their surroundings to answer the question; What wildlife lives nearby? All children planned their investigation, collected data and presented their data in a bar chart. They then analysed the data, comparing the invertebrates and vertebrates they found with their peers. 

This week, Y5 and Y6 children took part in fieldwork fortnight activities in our forest school where they measured the temperatures of various objects and scientific bodies with infrared thermometer. During this investigation the children were able to discover that various objects will have different temperatures depending on their exposure to the sun or location in the environment. 

This week Y5 children took to the stage at school. They performed in front of the whole school and later to their families and did so splendidly. Our play was called "Jill and Fred's Historical Hysterical Adventure" and it definitely brought on many laughs from the audience! The children loved learning their songs and lines which definitely showed during the performances:) Well done Y5

We had a fantastic time at Sutton Library yesterday watching the performance of ‘Ruby’s Worry’. Based on the book Ruby’s Worry, written by Tom Percival the story was told through live music, song, puppetry and physical theatre. The children behaved exceptionally well and were true Mapplewellians throughout. A huge thank you to all of our parent helpers, without you the trip couldn’t have gone ahead!
