Maple Class

Welcome to Maple Class!

Mr N Kent (class teacher)

Welcome to Maple Class, home to Years 3 and 4 at Wickhambreaux.

Just as maple trees change beautifully with the seasons, we encourage the children to embrace change, lead by example, and learn from their mistakes. Our class saying, "Making mistakes is how we learn!", reflects our belief in growing stronger and more vibrant with each new challenge.

Mr Kent, Mrs Dawson and Mrs Breeze aim to make learning fun, accessible and memorable. We hope your child enjoys the new challenges and approaches to learning that Key Stage 2 has to offer.

On this page you will find links to useful documents and resources that will give you an insight into the Lower Key Stage 2 curriculum. The unit overviews give a summary of the units of work that we cover over the year. You can also read our latest class news and see photos of what we've been getting up to.

Latest Class News (updated 27/6/25)

It’s been another busy week in Maple Class.

In English, we wrote dramatic descriptions of Mount Vesuvius erupting, focusing on powerful verbs and thinking carefully about how to improve and sharpen our sentences for maximum impact.

In maths, we completed some assessments and continued our work on perimeter – this time focusing on regular polygons. We worked through examples and discovered that we can find the perimeter by multiplying the length of one side by the number of sides. We also explored the inverse: calculating the length of one side when the perimeter is given.

A huge well done to the children for their fantastic singing and confident performance at High Tea – you made us all very proud!

In RE, we learnt about Mahatma Gandhi and his use of non-violent action to bring about change. In art, we explored the technique of pointillism, looking at the work of Georges Seurat and using cotton buds to create our own vibrant dot-based pieces.

Next week, we’re looking forward to Kick Back and Read! Children are welcome to wear summery clothes – just remember sun protection, as the forecast is looking hot.

Well done on a brilliant week, everyone!

Homework
