Fox Class
Welcome to Fox Class! We are a mixed Year 5 and 6 class and Mrs Stanford and Miss Collins are our teachers.
We pride ourselves on being a caring, capable and confident class.
As we are the oldest children in the school, we are given extra responsibilities to help the other classes. The roles include: House Point Collectors, Librarians, Lunchtime Supervisors, Collective Worship Helpers and Register Monitors.
Weekly homework:
- Doodle Maths https://students.doodlelearning.com/
- Daily reading
- Topic-related homework may also be set when appropriate, which links to our learning in class.
All Y5/6 children should know all times tables up to 12x by Christmas.
Top tips: Choose one times table to focus on at a time and get adults to test you at different times (eg in the car/ walking to school). Answer questions in random orders to ensure you know them properly eg: What's 4x8? What's 72 divided by 9?
Supporting at home:

Ways in which you can support your child with their learning
Encourage them to write for pleasure. Produce some writing together. Ask them ‘How can we make this sentence better?’ Discuss the impact of words.
Share books. Talk about the characters and predict what might happen in the stories. Ask children their thoughts on a book and how it compares to other books they have read.
Have opportunities where all the family are involved in some sort of reading, for example, newspapers and magazines.
Ask them questions about their Maths homework, such as 'What strategies do you know?', 'What is the best way to solve this?'
Play times tables games
Help them learn their spellings and find other words that fit the spelling pattern with them.
Discuss news events with them at their level.
