Welcome to Fox Class. We are a class of Year 5 children who are taught by Miss Mumby. We are helped by Mrs. Oxley and Miss. Ferguson.
This page is where you can find important information, as well as updates of the fun things we are getting up to in class.
We are part of UKS2 and therefore learn closely with the rest of Year 5 and 6 in Kestrel and Kingfisher Class. PE is on Tuesday and Thursday. Please come to school wearing your PE kit on these days and dressed appropriately for the weather should we be outside.
Homework will be given out on Fridays along with Spellings. These will be tested the following week. Homework is to be handed in Thursday. If you need any extra support with homework please send a message or ask your child to come speak to us and we can provide them with extra support.
If you need to contact us directly, please use the contact form above or contact the class page directly on ClassDojo.
