Maple Class

Welcome to Maple Class!

We are ready for our Year 2 adventure after a wonderful year in Year 1.

Autumn-1-Impact

This term, we are exploring the word, impact, looking at what this means and how we can consider the impact we have on other people and the world around us. Take a look at our newsletter to find out the types of things we’ll be learning about.

What we’re reading in class

Our Class Reader is The Great Chocoplot, which we’re enjoying reading. It’s all about the end of the chocolate forever! In our English lessons we’ll be reading Between Tick and Tock.

In our Writing lessons, we’ll be learning how to write comics and writing poems.

P.E Days

P.E days will be on Tuesday and Friday. Please ensure your child is wearing their P.E kit with a pair of trainers at school to wear.

Homework

Be sure to check Google Classroom each week to see what the homework tasks are for each week.
