Maple Class 
Welcome to Maple Class!
Mr N Kent (class teacher)

Mrs F Dawson (TA)
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 15/2/25)
This week was Safer Internet Day. We learnt about scams by playing a game identifying whether or not something was a scam. Well done to Grizzly Table for their win!
In English, we published our information leaflets about rainforest animals. We thought carefully about how we can use photos, diagrams and maps to add to our writing.
In maths, we have started to explore the distributive law. For example, we can say that because we know 5 + 3 = 8, we can say that 5 x 4 + 3 x 4 = 8 x 4.
We used counters and part-part-whole models to help us write mixed equations.
We hope you have a lovely holiday! We done to all the children for their hard work this term.
Homework
