Welcome to Maple Class!

My name is Miss Huggett and I am teaching Maple class this year with the support of our lovely teaching assistants Mrs Slade and Mr Briant.

In Maple class we work hard to ensure that we are always trying our best and work hard to face any challenges we are presented with. We look forward to learning all about our new topics in a caring and positive learning environment.

Please help us in supporting your child at home with their reading daily. We will be continuing with our 100 club here at Newtown Primary School and it would be amazing to see many Year 2’s challenging themselves to reach this impressive milestone!

Key things to remember:

PE kit needs to be in school every day.
Children are expected to read daily and record this in their reading logs
Maths homework will be set every Monday and will be linked to what the children have been learning in class. Spellings homework will also be set on a Monday; all homework should be completed by Friday.

The learning destination book can also be used for any additional home learning that your child wishes.

Many exciting things ahead in Year 2! Please keep an eye on here to see the wonderful things we will be doing throughout the year.

Miss Huggett

The Arctic

This week in Maple class we have been learning about the Arctic linked to our topic of ‘Far, Far Away’. We have been improving our map skills, using atlases to find countries around the world and comparing the location these countries to the equator and the Arctic. We have also been artists this week, creating beautiful images using inks to show some of the different animals that can be found living in the Arctic. We can’t wait to find out more about our topic this term!

We had a great day looking at the different artefacts from within the castle and learning lots about the people who used to live there. During our incredible tour around the castle we had the opportunity to role play in costumes whilst learning about the roles and lives of different people. Enjoy our wonderful photographs.

Bedtime stories: 21^st November 2019

On the 21^st of November many members of year 1 and 2 returned to school in the evening for an exciting bedtime stories. We had a wonderful evening listening to stories, drinking hot chocolate and touring the school in the dark.

Christmas play: 11^th December 2019 and 12^th December 2019

We have worked extremely hard this term on our Christmas play. All the children both in Maple class and Sycamore class did a brilliant job during their performances and enjoyed every moment of it. We were pleased to see so many parents coming to watch the Christmas play and see the hard work of all the children involved.

Term 1 in Maple Class:

We have had a brilliant first term in Maple class. We have been very busy doing lots of exciting things including our school trip to Stowford Manor Farm, Wild Things science and Mary Seacole day.

Stowford Manor Farm: 18^th September 2019

On the 18^th September 2019 Maple Class had an amazing day at Stowford Manor farm. We had the opportunity to see lots of different animals and learn about life on a working farm. We watched the milking of the cows, fed the goats and went on a tractor ride. In the afternoon we had the chance to do a mini beast hunt and team building activities in the woods. We had a brilliant day and hope you enjoy looking at our photographs.

Mary Seacole day: 26^th September 2019

On the 26^th September 2019 Maple and Sycamore class had a Mary Seacole day to celebrate the life and work of Mary Seacole. We all came into school dressed as doctors and nurses and showed our wonderful costumes to each other. Throughout the day we all participated in lots of exciting activities. We made doctor hats with Miss Abbot, role played being modern day and historical doctors and nurses with Miss Huggett and did cooking with Mrs Slade. Have a look at our great costumes in our photographs.

This week in Maple class:

This week in Maple class we have been thinking about our story of Where the Wild Things are, linking to our wild science. We have been writing our own Wild Things stories and including ourselves in our adventure writing. We were lucky enough last week to have a go at fire and shelter building with Mr Marshall and we have been using what we learnt and how we felt to inspire our stories.
