Year 4
We are Maple Class and Hawthorn Class.
MAPLE CLASS
Maple Class is taught by Mrs Benko-Robbins.
Mrs Benko-Robbins favourite animal is an otter, her favourite chocolate is mint chocolate and her hobbies include horse-riding, performing on stage, climbing with Miss Fallesen and netball with Miss Thomas and Miss Colley.
In Maple Class, we are supported by the wonderfully talented Ms Clemas. Our class is covered by Mrs Oliver on a Monday afternoon. The best words to describe us as a team is enthustiastic and joyful.
In Maple Class we really enjoy having deep and meaningful discussion, learning about different cultures and taking part in mindful activites. If we can sneak a few minutes of free time and free choice to learn, love or laugh together you will find us involved with body percussion routines and going on relaxing walks around the school grounds.
Our class novel is currently Grimwood by Nadia Shireen . We are reading this because Maple Class had a vote on which book they would like to read next and a 'funny, anarchic and gloriously silly' book sounded perfect.
The thing we love best about Sandford St Martin's is all the fun we get to have in Forest School; Music; English and Maths.
HAWTHORN CLASS
Hawthorn Class is taught by Miss Colley (Monday-Wednesday) and Mrs Driver (Thursday and Friday).
Miss Colley's favourite animal is a dog, her favourite ice cream is banana and her hobbies are walking her pet dogs (Stanley and Rogan), playing netball with Miss Thomas and Mrs Benko-Robbins, and lindy hop dancing.
She has been teaching for 11 years and her favourite thing about school is taking groups of children out to enjoy forest school.
Mrs Driver's favourite animal is a monkey, her favourite ice cream is cookie dough and her hobbies are reading and sea swimming- yes even when it is freezing cold!
She has been teaching for 9 years and her favourite thing about school is having fantastic days out together on school trips.
The best word to describe Hazel Class team is smashing.
In Hazel Class we really enjoy Computing and completing Art and DT projects. If we can sneak a few minutes of free time and free choice to learn, love or laugh together you will find us involved with playing games. Our favourite ones include Around the world, Don't clap this one back and Desert island.
Our class novel is currently The Wild Robot by Peter Brown.. We are reading this because we really enjoyed starting it off in Guided Reading and wanted to read more.
The thing we love best about Sandford St Martin's is we are a family.
We LOVED our Year 3 trip to Stonehenge earlier this year, we just wish the weather was as good as when Miss Colley and Miss Edwards went for their recce!
