Black Country Finals Netball Tournament

A group of children from year 5 and 6 went to Wolverhampton university Walsall campus, to participate in the Black Country Finals Netball Tournament. It was a lovely warm day with plenty of sports, fun and teamwork. Although the results didn’t go our way, everyone in the team tried their hardest and it was a day to never forget.

Lower III Residential Oakerwood
Lower III had a great residential week at Oakerwood Leisure. They spent the week climbing over low ropes, dangling from the zipwire and working in teams to navigate around the woods and obstacle courses. The weather was glorious and lots of fun was had around the campfire with toasted marshmallows and hot chocolate. We started the week with a game of capture the flag and ended the week with a game of junior paintball. Lower III showed exemplary behaviour and all of the camp leaders spoke highly of the children and the school. They even learnt how to wash and dry up after meals and worked well as a team in a variety of challenges! See the review by Tia below.

Upper School enjoyed a performance of Hamlet by the Young Shakespeare Company. Pupils were whisked away to Denmark and were part of the cast, providing sound effects and even playing some of the parts! ‘To be or not to be’ was the question!
British Science week 2025
Mayfield celebrated British Science week last week with a visit from South Staffs Water company providing workshops across the school. Pupils learnt about water conservation, rivers and where water comes from. Pupils were invited to take part in our annual poster competition. This year’s theme was Change and Adapt. Winners were selected from each class with a runner-up and then five overall winners to have their poster entered in the national competition. Well done, to all who took part. Science lessons were based around the theme and fun was had by all!
World Book Day 2025
World Book Day was celebrated by pupils and staff by dressing up as their favourite book characters and taking part in various book related activities. Lower III took Kindergarten on a bear hunt and read with Nursery pupils. Across the school, there were various book activities from scavenger hunts to colouring favourite book characters and book marks. Upper School took part in the Poetry By Heart competition, where pupils learnt to recite and perform two poems; one from before 1914 and one from after 1914. Each class performed their poems in English lessons and then there was a final round with finalists from each class performing in front of the school and a panel of judges. It was a close competition, but the winners from each class were: Inaaya Ahmed from Lower II, Surran Sahota from Form II, Zayn Rasheed from Upper II and two winners from Lower III: Dylan Khera and Sehej Kaur. Well done all and good luck to the finalists who will be videoed performing their poems for entry into the national grand final.

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).
