Mrs McMillan
Teaching Assistant
Hello everyone, I am Mr McGuinness, class teacher for Maple class. I am supported daily by Mrs McMillan and Mr Horrocks.
To facilitate Early Bird Maths, class will be open from 8.45am and registration starts at 8.55 am.
School ends at 3.15pm. The entrance for drop off and collection is the canopy entrance. Due to the number of children coming into this entrance at these times, it is not possible for parents to enter the building. Therefore, if you have any questions about your child, please do not hesitate to contact me via the maple@dukestreet-pri.lancs.sch.uk. Please contact the school office with any urgent information about your child and they will let me know as soon as possible.
Times Table practise
In year 3, the recall of multiplication facts are very important. We encourage you to practise regularly with your child, from x2 up to x12 tables.
The children will be given a login and password for TT Rockstars. The website to login to is:
They can use TT Rockstars on almost every platform including IOS, Windows, Android. If you need any help, just ask!
Reading
We would like your children to read at least three times a week. Children will receive incentives and rewards for regular reading. Please actively encourage your children when reading - They will engage more if they are finding it fun. They have been given the logins and passwords from Reading Eggs for them to use at home too.
Homework
A paper copy of the week's spellings will be given out on Monday. If they could spend 5-10 minutes in the evening it will prepare them for testing on Fridays.
P.E
Our usual P.E days will be on a Wednesday & Friday. Please make sure that your child has a full school P.E kit in school. Also make sure that your child has taken out their earrings or has tape over their earrings, if they cannot be taken out, at home.
Medical
If your child requires medical attention in school please contact Mrs Nicholls and complete the relevant forms to keep school updated and keep your child safe in school.
