Welcome to Maple Class.

Our class teacher is Mr Smith, supported Mrs Georgeson  as our lead HLTA in Maple, and  further supported by Mrs Senft, Miss Bashford, Miss Williams, Miss Jefrato,  Miss Ditch and Mrs Mitsi 

Main Topics and Trips for 2024/2025

This year Maple Class will learn about: Romans, Iron Age, Bronze Age, Stone Age, Egyptians, Volcanoes, Antarctica and Settlements. In Science we will be looking into Animals & Movement and Forces.  

Our trips and visits for the year will be: Puss in Boots (cinema), Bronze Age (virtual workshop), Science Museum, Cinderella (panto), Freshwater Theatre Company, a local visit for Geography and The Tate Modern. Perform's Drama4All is on offer twice a year, kicking off with Journey Around the World with Phileas Fogg. 

Our life skills programme consists of some kind of cooking, an active activity such as yoga and something arty, all part of the ever popular Mash Friday. The children regularly head across the Green to the local corner shop to buy some of the products for this. Sensory circuits, sensory and attention activities, Lego Therapy and social interaction are all a daily part of learning. 

Physical Education (PE)

Our PE day for the Provision is Thursday. Some children will also be joining their mainstream classes for PE, again this is on an individualised basis.

Your child needs to come into school wearing their PE kit, which consists of a plain t-shirt, plain joggers/shorts and a plain jumper. Trainers are also allowed. Your child will stay in their PE kit for the whole day.  

Homework

Homework will be set every Monday, and will consist of a My Mathletics task and phonics on Phonics Play or a, set of spelling words (written and completed on Spelling Shed). There is no pressure to complete this homework at home though.

Reading and Reading Records

We expect your child to read every day. Your child's reading record must be brought in every day to be signed. Reading is such an important part of your child's development so please prioritise this task. 

Our Class Rewards

We have many rewards in Ash Class, which consist of:

Class dojo points, raffle tickets every Friday, certificates every Friday and stickers.

To earn a raffle ticket, your child will move their name onto the reward image for showing us a behaviour or knowledge which is above our usual expectations.
