Maple Class

Welcome to Maple Class!

Mr N Kent (class teacher)

Mrs A Breeze (TA)

Mrs F Dawson (TA)

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.

Another busy and creative week in Maple Class!

In English, we started reading Escape from Pompeii and worked in pairs to write detailed descriptions of the city before the eruption. We then wrote letters to Tranio and Livia, giving them advice on what they should do after feeling the earth tremble.

In maths, we’ve been learning about perimeter – counting the units around simple shapes, adding lengths, and solving problems where we know the total perimeter and just one side.

In art, we explored the colourful mosaic work of Antoni Gaudí and created our own lizard designs. Our Roman-inspired mosaics are now proudly on display in the cloakroom outside our classroom!

We’ve also been practising our songs for the upcoming High Tea performance and learning about how traits are passed on through genes in RSHE. In history, we learnt about Julius Caesar’s failed attempts to invade Britain – and why they didn’t go quite to plan.

Homework

Keep practising on TTRS! Certificates are awarded every week.

A new homework has been set on maths.co.uk. This covers perimeter, our current maths topic.
