Welcome to our Maple Class page. We are a hard working and enthusiastic bunch of learners. You can find us next to the KS2 playground.
Ms Senior is our class teacher. When she has release time on Friday afternoons, Mrs Moore teaches us Religious Education.
Please be aware that we have two indoor PE sessions this half term: Monday and Thursday.
Children need a PE kit, complete with trainers and trousers or a jacket.
As Key Stage Two, Year Three and Four children are expected to work more independently and become a little more responsible for their own learning. They have access to their own library tickets, and visit the library on their own, so can choose books that they are interested in and that will challenge their skills.
We learn in a variety of different ways in Year 3 and 4, taking our direction from the National Curriculum.
There are so many ways to support your child's success. Curling up with a book in the evening is always a good way to start, and there are some great inference questions available in the back of your reading record to help start book discussions.
Our weekly spellings need to be learned at home. Mrs Moore goes through the spelling rules with us before she hands them out, so we know what to focus on.
In Maths we will focus on the instant recall of times tables and number bonds. Children are expected to have a quick recall of all times tables from 1x - 12 x 12.
Cambridge is full of museums, which are loaded with opportunities to practise research skills and develop curiosity. We are always interested in exciting places the children have been and opportunities they have had!
Our remote learning has now moved to Microsoft teams. Children will need their teams login to access their daily learning resources. If you have any problems logging in or need help accessing resources please email maple@meridian.cambs.sch.uk
Spellings are given out by Mrs Moore every Friday and tested the following week. Children are given two copies of the spelling list.
Homework is given out every Friday and is due in again on Wednesday. They can expect Spellings, Maths work and usually a Literacy or Topic-based activity, in line with our homework policy.
Completing homework tasks will always earn children raffle tickets to reward their dedication and responsibility.
Children should not be working more than an hour and a half a week on their assigned task, although any extra research or practice they fancy is always warmly welcomed.
Reading at Home
They are also expected to read roughly ten pages a day, five days a week. Children are issued with reading records where they can share their parents, teachers and friends.
