Hello and welcome to Maple Class!
Your teachers this year are: Mrs Yeandle and Mrs Carr. Your teaching assistants are: Mrs West, Mrs Pearce and Mrs Eva. For one afternoon per week Mrs Hewson will teach music and Mrs Kelly will teach RE to Maple.
As mathematicians, Year 1 have been learning about numbers to 10 and starting to partition these numbers. Year 2 are learning about numbers to 100 and understanding the place value of each digit in a 2-digit number. After this we will start looking at addition and subtraction with numbers within 100. This is delivered using the Power Maths WRM scheme. We also practice our arithmetic skills daily through 'Fluent in Five'. You can help your child at home by completing the weekly homework tasks on School Jam (Active Learn Primary) and practising their skills on the One Minute Maths app or timestables.co.uk.
