Spellings

Maple class will be given spellings weekly which they are expected to practise at home.

All spellings will be from the statutory spelling list for year 3 and 4. 

P.E.
Our P.E. days are Wednesdays and Fridays. Please remember to bring your P.E. kit into school on P.E. days. All P.E. kit must be clearly labelled with the child's name.

No jewellery is to be worn; if pupils have pierced ears they must come to school with earrings removed or are able to independently remove earrings and keep then in a safe container for the duration of the lesson. 

The appropriate P.E. kit must be worn in order for pupils to be able to take-part in P.E. activities in regards to our P.E. risk assessment. 

Please check the current curriculum overview, or ask your child, to identify what Maple are currently learning in P.E. lessons.

Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check 

The multiplication tables check (MTC) is a statutory for all year 4 pupils in England*. 

The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently. The results can support the school in identifying where additional support can be put in place.

Here are some helpful links for parents to support their child in preparation for the test:
