"As a celebration of their Spring enquiry, Y5 and Y6 children showcased their learning to all the pupils of Mapplewells schools. The children had an opportunity to share what they have learnt throughout the term with the help of their double page spreads and dioramas, which displayed the impact pollution has on aquatic biomes."
This week, Year 5 and 6 children had a fantastic opportunity to showcase their learning to Ms Wilkinson, secondary school teacher from ATTFE. The children shared what they learnt about in each lesson from their enquiry and proudly described their double page spreads which consolidated their learning. Lastly, the children presented their dioramas that visualised their understanding of the impact human need has on aquatic biomes. Well done, UKS2. What an amazing job!
It was great to see so many children and families attend our EYFS open evening on Tuesday. Both F1 and F2 have had makeovers during the Spring term and the environments look amazing. The children have been extremely excited to use the provision in place for them and were even more eager on Tuesday to show their parents and carers. The changes and makeover in EYFS would not have been possible without the generous donations of our Mapplewellian family, who have gone above and beyond donating pallets and cable reels. Also, the Friends of Mapplewells have bought a range of furniture that have further added to the environment. Finally, non of this would have been possible without the hard work of the staff to bring all of this together. Thank you to everyone. However, we haven't finished and during the opening, thanks to generous donations and a raffle, we

This week has been British Science Week. The theme this year is ‘time’ and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of British Science week at Mapplewells, all year group have taken part in a practical investigation based on the theme.
In Year 4, the children were investigating the time it takes for chocolate to turn into a liquid. The children were observing if chocolate is a reversible change. They discovered that chocolate can be turned back into its original state.
F2 had lots of fun at their valentines disco. We did some excellent dancing, played games and of course had cookies and juice!
Thank you to everyone who took part in Dress up for Digits today to support the NSPCC. The children took part in fun maths activities across their key stages and we raised a total of £180!! All of which will make an enormous difference help the NSPCC support children

This term our enquiry question is 'What makes Britain great?'. To kickstart our enquiry, we walked to Sutton to see what important places we could find. We saw St.John's Church, the Sundial, The Old Town Hall and we ended our route with a visit to the Library. It was lovely to see Kerry there again and have a story together.
Last week F2 received a letter from the King as he had heard we were learning about our country and were going to be learning more about London. He told us that the Queen used to love having afternoon tea and he thought it would be a good idea for us to have our very own afternoon tea in the hall. We wrote a letter to Mr Whittle to see if we were allowed and luckily Mr Whittle said YES! Hooray! Therefore, on Monday we all had afternoon tea in the hall, we had sandwiches, crisps and scones, it was delicious! This week we have been busy writing a letter to King Charles to tell him all about it.
