Welcome to Foxes class!

Our class teacher is Miss Murphy.

As the oldest children in the school, we take on responsibilities and jobs to help our school run smoothly.  One of those roles is to look after new children that arrive at school, especially the new Hedgehogs (YR) when they arrive in September.

The Hedgehogs are given a ‘buddy’ from Year 4 and sometimes Year 3, who will sit with them at lunchtime and look after them in the playground. We also have House Captains - two for each house - who are role models and leaders of our 4 house teams across the school - and lots of monitoring jobs which we enjoy, such as choosing the music for worship and welcoming visitors to school.

In the Summer term, our Year 4 children get the opportunity to go to Leeson House near Swanage for a one-night residential trip.  They participate in lots of exciting activities there, enhancing their learning and strengthening relationships before going to middle school. It is definitely a highlight of the year!

The children of Foxes class often get the opportunity to represent the school in various inter-school sporting events, such as running and tag rugby, and take part in sports festivals hosted by our local middle schools. 

Please continue to support your child by:

• Hearing your child read or encouraging them to read independently for 10 minutes daily
• Supporting your child with spellings by practising daily referring to the weekly home learning sheet.
• Practising times tables 
• Regular use of SumDog for Maths fluency
• Supporting your child with additional experiences or research about our topics (see Curriculum Leaflets) - we would love to hear what you have found out or explored!
• If you have any questions about your child’s learning, please don’t hesitate to come and see us

Many thanks for your continuing support.
