Y5- Fox Class
Welcome to Fox Class Page
Teacher Mr. Jones
Teaching assistant - Mrs. Anderson
Hello everyone
Let me begin by saying it's been simply amazing to have all the children back in school. After the initial shock of being back, each and everyone of them settled back into school life, even if it's still not quite normal, and worked hard.
During this term we carried out Maths and English assessments and we have a clear picture of where your child/children are and what we can work on to make them the best they can be.
Next term will come around quickly so please make the most of the Easter break, eat your body weight in chocolate (I will be!) and we look forward to seeing you all again on the 19th April.
HAPPY EASTER!
