Maples

Welcome to Maples we are a mix of year 3 and year 4 children. There are two adults in Maples, Ms Whelan the class teacher and Mrs Meaney the teaching assistant.

Our first mini topic for this term is The Great Fire of London. We will be finding what London was like at the time of the fire, how the fire started, how long it lasted for the impact the fire had on the day.
