Maple Class

  Welcome to Maple Class! Your teacher is Mrs Oates.

Teaching Assistants are Mrs Polak and Mrs Law

Welcome to the Autumn term in Maple Class! Our class is all about learning and exploring various topics. Our topic this term is 'Fire! Fire!'

In English, your child will continue to develop their writing skills through the Clever Writer approach.  We continue to employ various techniques to enhance creativity, grammar, and vocabulary, enabling students to become confident and eloquent writers. In Year 2, we recognise the importance of understanding and applying spelling rules and we encourage children to learn their home spellings diligently.
This term we will be learning about The Great Fire of London, how it affected us and what it meant to the rest of England. Many of the stories we will write this term are set in London.

We aim to provide a solid foundation in mathematics, with a specific focus this term on Place Value, Addition and Subtraction strategies and shape in Geometry. We work to ensure that students grasp key concepts and develop problem-solving skills. Through interactive lessons and practical examples, we aim to make learning maths enjoyable and accessible to all children in Maple Class.

This Autumn term in Science we will be learning about Materials, what things are made of and how they are suited for their purpose. Our aim is to foster a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the world in which we live and we will investigate how we can manipulate and change materials.  We will investigate the best material to use to make a bucket to douse a fire in the 17th Century!

We'll round off our topic off with a Geography unit about landmarks and finding our way around modern day London.

 Our PE days are Tuesdays and Thursday. Please remember to wear school PE kits on these days.

We anticipate a year packed with exciting learning experiences and look forward to being a part of the children’s learning journey this year.
