Welcome to Maple Class
Welcome to Maple Class!
It is a pleasure to welcome you back to Maple Class. The children will be taught by Mrs Ambler and will be supported by Mrs Wilkinson. Mrs M Bailey will be teaching our class on a Monday and a Tuesday afternoon. Miss Ellis will be teaching our parallel year 2 class, Sycamore Class, supported by Mrs Kelly. We also have a number of Teaching Assistants supporting individual children this year so we would like to welcome Mrs Say, Mrs Palmer and Miss Massie to the year 2 team. If you have any questions or would like to talk to us, please speak to any of the team at the gate before or after school and we will be happy to help you. If you aren’t able to catch us then, please write a note in your child’s reading record book. Alternatively, you can make an appointment at the school office. |
