Welcome: 

Welcome to the Maple class page. Maple class always strive to be kind, listen carefully, be sensible, respect each other by treating others how we like to be treated and try our best! Below you will find information about our usual week.

PE

Maple class have PE on a Thursday. Please make sure that your child has their PE kit in school. They should have black shorts and a white t-shirt. They should also have trainers or pumps and a jacket/hoody and tracksuit bottoms/leggings for outdoor PE. Make sure they are not wearing stud earrings.

Homework

Homework will be sent home every Friday. Your child will have Maths and English homework and a set of spellings each week.  Times tables will be sent home fortnightly. They need to complete their homework by themselves but some support can be given with understanding. The spellings should be practiced daily so that your child learns them ready for their spelling test on a Friday. All homework and spelling books need to be back in school the following Wednesday.

Reading

Reading is a very important part of your child’s education and we want to promote a love for reading in Maple class. For your child to become confident readers and writers they need to have plenty of opportunities to read books. Every week your child will be sent home reading books which they will change as and when necessary. It is the responsibility of your child to let their teacher/TA know when they have finished reading their book.  Please read these with your child each day and write in their reading journal.

Music

Mr Muncaster will be in school every Tuesday teaching your child the music curriculum.

Educational visits

Throughout the year, your child will have many opportunities to go out on educational visits. These visits will help to enhance the curriculum for your child and give them hands on experience in the field we are studying. You will receive a letter about each visit before we go.

Our project topics

The children have an exciting project every term. This has a focus on either geography or history in the first half term, then art or DT in the second half term.
