Young Voices

At young voices we had a long rehearsal it was for three hours. Everyone was tired and hungry, but we had to keep going on till the rehearsal finished. Then it was dinner time I had pizza, animal biscuits, apple juice and two oranges for my tea it was yummy. Then came the concert; we saw Aanya, Ryan, Sukhmani, my mommy and I even saw my best friend Raine had come with Ru. We had special guests like Mc Grammar, Tommy Blaize and Souparnika Nair. Mc Grammar was rapping in readers are leaders and we were singing. Tommy Blaize was singing Lean On Me with us and No Woman No Cry. Souparnika. Nair was singing Brighter Days with us. The other songs we were singing were Pop Medley, Marley Magic, Birdhouse in Your Soul, Oceania, Let’s Dance, Try Everything, Get Loud, Little Blue and Hairspray. It was really loud. Everyone had a Young Voices torch except one person. Then it was the end of the young voices concert. Everyone was tired. I went home at 23:23.

Swimming Gala

On Tuesday 28th January, some of the LIII pupils and a FII pupil went to the Walsall Gala Swimming Baths to participate in a schools swimming gala. A staggering twelve schools were also there with us, competing in many exciting races across four strokes – Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly. The atmosphere was electrifying with many spectators cheering everyone on. All the Mayfield swimmers performed brilliantly under immense pressure and undoubtedly felt honoured to be representing the school. Everybody swam their very best and the race results reflected this, with Mayfield swimmers often reaching the podium. Another incredibly successful sporting fixture completed for Mayfield, with astounding results!

Well done swimmers, you were a real credit to the school!

Walsall Art Gallery

The Walsall Art Gallery was amazing! We made things with clay and we also looked at the different types of art work from over a hundred years ago. It was an amazing experience. Also, in addition, the place itself was a very modern and clean place. My favourite bit was when we did a quick drawing of an animal painting and made it in clay. It was very fun! Then, after, we got to take them back to school! Overall, it was a really good school trip. Everyone enjoyed it! (Aarav C, Form II).

Bhangra Dancing

This week FI and FII were treated to a bhangra dance workshop from Bhangra Workshops for Schools. We had a fabulous time as part of our Diwali celebrations dancing along with our teacher Bally. Pupils learnt all the different moves. Also, they used drumsticks to tap out a beat! Even the teachers had a go and thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Maths Challenge

On Tuesday morning, four different schools came into Mayfield for a maths challenge. When the schools came in, the four Mayfield children partaking in the competition greeted them. Everyone had plenty of biscuits and drinks. We then all were split up into different groups and did our first challenge. After that, we had a break, came back inside and began our second challenge, which was a relay. We then completed the final challenge. At the end there was a winning team and 2^nd and 3rd place medals. Everyone got a gift bag. Overall, everyone had a brilliant time. By Saran, LIII.

Quidditch Day

On Tuesday we had a Quidditch day where we had two people come in to teach us a type of quidditch. In the morning we had assembly where The heads and deputies were sorted into the four Harry Potter houses using the famous sorting hat. Everyone was sorted into their houses in lessons. Every class had thirty minutes to play Quidditch. In our time to play Quidditch we played mini games at the start and finished with a proper game. Without a doubt everyone enjoyed it very much (Saran, LIII, Deputy-Head girl and Head of Hufflepuff House, the winning house).

Harvest 2024

A huge THANK YOU for the fantastic donations made by our parents and carers during the Harvest Festival. We had an abundance of greatly needed food donated to the Black Country Foodbank, all of which will be made into emergency food parcels for people in crisis. We know it will be gratefully received by lots of families as the charity works to end hunger in our community.

We have donated 193kg of food and 29kg of toiletries, enough to provide 386 meals and 58 toiletry packs. Black Country Food Bank are so thankful for the amazing support.

Diwali

Mayfield celebrated the festival of Diwali on Friday 10th November. Pupils dressed up in their bright home clothes or traditional outfits. At the start of the day, Anika and Sara from LII performed a lively dance during assembly. For the rest of the day, classes completed a Diwali dance workshop and various activities in class. The dance workshop taught traditional Indian dance moves to the story of Rama and Sita. In class, pupils made Diva lamps, Rangoli patterns, Mendi hand patterns, and decorated elephants. Happy Diwali!

Sports Days 2023

Last week, Mayfield held its annual sports days for both Lower and Upper School. The weather held out on both occasions until a light drizzle made the tug of war in Upper School a little slippery but the pupils soldiered through and managed to finish with a smile on their faces! The overall winners for Lower School junior house cup were Nightingale House and our Games Captains held the house trophy up high with pride. Livingstone was the overall winner for Upper School senior house cup and likewise, their Games Captains were overjoyed and enjoyed their lap of honour with their house team. For the Lower III trophies, the sprint champion girl was: Esther, and the long-distance champion girl was Aila. Alexander won the sprint boys and Mustafa the long-distance boys. Sienna won the Victrix Ludorum cup for the girls and Alexander and Mustafa were joint winners of the boy’s Victor Ludorum cup. Well done to all the staff who helped and organised the events, especially, Mrs Pittaway, our Head of PE, to pupils for their respect and resilience when taking part, and to the parents who came to watch for both glorious events.
