Maple Class

Welcome to Maple Class!

Welcome to Maple Class, home to Years 3 and 4 at Wickhambreaux.

Just as maple trees change beautifully with the seasons, we encourage the children to embrace change, lead by example, and learn from their mistakes. Our class saying, "Making mistakes is how we learn!", reflects our belief in growing stronger and more vibrant with each new challenge.

Mr Kent, Mrs Dawson and Mrs Breeze aim to make learning fun, accessible and memorable. We hope your child enjoys the new challenges and approaches to learning that Key Stage 2 has to offer.

On this page you will find links to useful documents and resources that will give you an insight into the Lower Key Stage 2 curriculum. The unit overviews give a summary of the units of work that we cover over the year. You can also read our latest class news and see photos of what we've been getting up to.

Latest Class News (updated 17/07/26)

This week we completed our term's DT project: design and build a new lighthouse for Goodwin Sands. After researching different UK lighthouses (our favourite was Muckle Flugga!), we designed and built a working prototype, complete with a working light. We carefully considered size, colour and stability, given the sometimes treacherous conditions in the English Channel.

We hugely enjoyed Oak Class' performance of Dream On - it won't be long before the current Year 4s will be on that stage next year!

We also enjoyed our trip to Walmer Castle and beach. The children were praised for their inquisitiveness and politeness at the castle, and it was a lovely day out, complete with an ice lolly by the sea. Do look at the website news section for photos.

It's hard to believe we are almost at the end of the year! We look forward to a final two days left together as Maple Class.

Homework

There is no new homework this week. However I have set some optional assignments on maths.co.uk for the holidays.

Don't forget to play TTRS! All children can achieve a rock status by playing studio at least ten times. Regular practice at home is really beneficial: just 3–5 minutes, 4 or 5 times a week, makes a real difference!
