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.

Reminders for Autumn Term 2024
Each day, children will need suitable uniform according to the weather, water bottles containing water only, healthy snacks for break, reading book and reading diary every day. Books will be changed when needed. Children should not wear jewellery to school apart from stud earrings.
Just a reminder that children will not need to bring in additional stationery or pencil cases as this equipment will be provided and that toys should be left at home.
PE for Kingfisher and Fox will be on Monday and Wednesday and PE for Kestrel will be on Monday and Friday. Children are to come to school in their PE kit and trainers on these days to avoid the need to change in school. Earrings need to be either removed for PE or covered in plasters that you can provide please.
