Maple Class
Key Stage 1 : Years 1 and 2
Children in Maple Class are enthusiastic learners who embrace challenge.
Science
Much use is made of our wonderful outdoors environment; whether in the school grounds or out in the local village. We also take exciting trips to places such as Lackford Lakes where experts support the children to develop skills in observation, investigation and experimentation. Seasonal change and plants is woven into our learning through out the year to ensure it is relevant. "Mulberry" our seasonal change bear likes to go home for sleepovers, where he hopes the children will show him things growing in their homes and gardens. BUT... they must remember to put him to bed when it is getting dark!
Computing
All the children have their own logins and confidently use ICT as a tool to support other areas of the curriculum. We use a variety of programmes which engage and stimulate the children's creativity.
Maths and English
There is a focus on learning and applying new skills in maths.
English is often taught through topics including Colour, Amazing Animals, Splendid Structures, Pirates, Minibeasts and Dragons.
Other Activities
Please see below for the latest Autumn 2021 newsletter for Maple class (years 1 and 2) and year 1 and 2 maths knowledge organisers which show key vocabulary and concepts.
