In Maple Class, curiosity grows, imaginations soar, and every day is an adventure! Year 1 and Year 2 continue their school journey here, guided by our fantastic teachers, Mrs Wenban and Mrs Trinder, and supported by our ever-enthusiastic teaching assistants, Mrs Maloney and Ms Jefferies. Together, we are a team ready to turn learning into something magical.
We have a beautiful space that enables us to provide our pupils with an exciting learning environment, incorporating independent discovery alongside teacher-led activities. We are also lucky enough to have a variety of outdoor areas for Maple Class, including a dedicated learning space in the playground, a mud kitchen, and a designated Forest School area.
In Maple Class, phonics and early reading are not just important; they are a daily adventure! Whether we are playing with sounds, exploring silly rhyming words, or diving into enchanting storybooks, children are surrounded by opportunities to fall in love with reading. With a sparkle of encouragement from our teachers, our young readers grow in confidence, devouring stories one page at a time.
Maths in Maple Class is never boring. It is hands-on, practical and packed with fun! Whether we are measuring mysterious treasures from our outdoor adventures or solving puzzles with our friends, maths becomes a part of our everyday play. Children count, build and problem-solve, all while having a blast and discovering that numbers are everywhere.
Our classroom is a happy, welcoming place where everyone is celebrated for who they are. We become scientists, artists, storytellers and outdoor explorers, with plenty of time to play and discover in our lovely school grounds. Each child's ideas and questions are welcomed, and our supportive staff are always ready with a smile and a helping hand.
Families are a big part of our Maple Class community. We love sharing our learning through regular updates, inviting grown-ups to join us for special events, and working together to ensure every child shines. There is always something exciting happening, and we cannot wait to welcome you into our wonderful classroom world.
