Welcome to Class 4 – The Maples
Our Class Teacher is Mr Pillans.
Our 1:1 Teaching Assistants are Mrs Kirk in the mornings and Mrs Lound in the afternoons.
In our class we have 17 children.
We really enjoy learning in our classroom, keeping fit and healthy in PE, learning through exploring in our Wild At Heart outside area and commencing our KS2 adventure.
If you have any questions relating to Maples Class, please contact me through Class Dojo or Google Classrooms. More general enquiries should be directed through the school office please.
