Maple Class

2025-2026

Welcome to Maple Class.

My name is Mrs. Akin and I will be teaching Maple Class this year, helped by Mrs Slate. Mrs Ogden also teaches us on a Tuesday morning. Please make sure you look at our class dojo page which is frequently updated with class news and photos.

PE Days

Our PE days are on a Monday and Tuesday. Please send your child to school wearing their full PE uniform on these days.  PE uniform comprises of yellow t-shirt, black shorts or black jogger/leggings (no logos) and school PE hoody. Trainers can be worn but pumps will be required for specific activities such as gymnastics and dance; you will be notified when these are needed. Please ensure earrings are removed or covered with plasters on PE days. Please remember that, for safety reasons, earrings must only be a single stud and not hooped or dangly.

Reading

Your child needs to bring their reading book and reading diary into school every day. Reading books will be checked and changed regularly to ensure your child has the opportunity to read daily at home. We love to hear how your child is progressing, so please comment regularly to let us know how they are getting on.

It is great to get involved in your child’s learning and your contribution can be invaluable. In addition to reading regularly with your child, please support them in their weekly homework activities. Homework will be set on TT Rock Stars/Numbots (Times Tables and Number Bonds); Phonics and Spellings; reading activities and topic-based studies.  Your child has been issued with a homework exercise book in which their homework can be recorded before being photographed and uploaded into Class Dojo. This book is to be kept at home. 

Multiplication Check

All Year Four children complete the National Multiplication Check in June and to assist children with this at home, all children have access to Times Tables Rock Stars.
