Welcome to Maple Class!
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Maple Class. The children will be taught by Mrs Ambler and 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. |

Additional information
PE – As in year one, the children come to school in their PE kit so that we can maximise the time that they are active. For Maple this is Thursday and Friday.
Homework - Homework will be sent home on Friday; please could this be completed and returned by the following Wednesday.
Library - we will aim to take the children to the library each week so that they can choose a library book to take home. Our library day will be a Thursday.
To help your child at home please read together as much as possible. It is useful to ask your child questions about what they are reading to check that they understand the story of information that they are reading. In year 2 the reading level your child reached in year 1 will be used as a starting point.
Please continue to practise counting at home. In the autumn term we will be working on counting in steps of 10, 2, 5.
We are really looking forward to seeing you all back in school ready for a term of exciting learning!!!
The School Day
Maple Class doors will open at 8.45am. The school day ends at 3.30.
If someone different is picking your child up, please could you make a member of our team aware, through a written message that is sent with your child, or a message to the school office.
