Welcome to Maple Class
Maple class are children in year 1 and 2. They are taught by Mr Dowe and Miss Lucas. Please see below for all the information you need to know about your child's journey through our class.
Lessons :

PE days:
Pe days are on a Monday and Tuesday. Children come to school in PE kit on these days. Children are not allowed to wear earrings or jewellery during these lessons.
Homework:
Spellings will be sent home at the beginning of each half term. Tests are on a Friday.
Number facts will be sent home every Thursday for a test the following Thursday. (Number facts start after October half term)
Please read with your child as often as possible. Books will be changed on a Monday and Thursday. Example questions to ask your child can be found in their reading record books.
The children will visit the library bus fortnightly on a Thursday to choose a book. The children will use their library card for this. Please make sure the children have the book in their book bag ready to change.
Children can practise their number facts using Numbots. All login details are provided on their reading record book. They can also use TT Rockstars to work on their times tables. All log in details are in their reading record book.
Phonics:
In year 1 and 2, reading and spelling are primarily taught using a phonics approach and the Read Write Inc scheme. All children have been provided with a phonics book to continue their learning at home.
If you would like some support teaching the Read Write Inc sounds, please use the links below to access videos for each set of sounds. Year 1 children will be focusing on the sounds in set 2 and 3. In June, the year 1 children will also take a phonic screening check. Please see the link below for more information on this along with videos demonstrating how to support them with the check. We hold a Read Write Inc evening for parents every Autumn.
