• Friday 10 September 2021 Fox Class End of week 1 Autumn Term 2021 Well done to all of Fox Class for a fantastic first week back. They have all settled so well and I have been so impressed with how quickly they have learnt the new routines. They have been really confident mixing with the rest of the school at playtimes and assemblies, which is something a lot of them have never done before.
• Monday 6 September 2021 Fox Class Autumn Term Week 1 2021 Welcome back everyone! It has been lovely to welcome the new children into our class today and to catch up with the Year 2s. I was so proud of how confidently they came in. Here are a few pictures from today. I hope they all enjoyed it and have told you all about it! I will post more on Friday.
• Wednesday 21 July 2021 Fox Class Summer Term Last week Happy Holidays everyone!  
• Friday 16 July 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 13 Here we are at the end of our final full week!  I can't believe that we only have 3 days to go.  Hopefully you all saw the separate Blog about Sports Day yesterday.  Here are a few photos from this week.  It has mainly been a 'finishing off' week and we enjoyed watching a recording of the Year 5/6 Leavers' play this morning.  
• Thursday 15 July 2021 Fox Class Week 12 Sports Day Here are the photos of Fox Class competing in Sports Day this morning.  They all did so well and really embraced all of their races. They all did the flat race, sack race and egg and spoon race.  
• Friday 9 July 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 12 I am sorry about the lack of photos this week!  I am not sure where the week has flown to.  
• Friday 2 July 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 11 We have finished off the week this week with composing some more music for our glockenspiels. The children are getting really good at this.  
• Friday 25 June 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 10 Ringsfield The main highlight of our week this week was our trip to Ringsfield Hall.  We had such a fantastic day and they were very pleased to see us again - we were their first school since Covid!  We had an action packed day in the woods.  We have just made a list in class of some of the things that we did.  Here is the list:
• Friday 18 June 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 9 In Science this week we went on a wild flower hunt.  We were searching for dandelions, daisies, buttercups, clover, nettles, brambles, dog rose and ivy.  We found all of these and the children should now be able to identify these.  
• Friday 11 June 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 8 Well done everyone for another great week this week.  The Year 1s have worked very hard this week on their end of year assessments and I am very proud of them all.  The Year 2s have had several Maths and Literacy lessons outside during this time.  As all the main tests are now done we celebrated with an ice lolly this morning!  
• Friday 28 May 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 7 This week the Year 2s worked very hard at some assessments while Year 1 worked outside for Maths, revising number bonds, position and direction and time telling.  They also did some work in Literacy on The Gruffalo.  
• Friday 21 May 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 6 There has been much excitement in Fox Class this week as the guinea-pigs had their 2nd birthday!  The children have been busy making cards and they have been given lots of lovely presents!  They will be on a strict diet this weekend at home!  
• Friday 14 May 2021 Fox Class Week 5 This week in Science we measured the beans for the last time before they went home.  Some had reached nearly half a metre tall!  
• Friday 7 May 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 4 This week seems to have gone very quickly with the bank holiday!  We have still fitted a lot in to the four days though.  In Literacy we have carried on our work based on the book 'The Slightly Annoying Elephant'.  In Maths we have been revising telling the time, 3D shapes and measuring capacity. Our beans are continuing to grow very well.  The children made nature sculptures with Mrs Gray.  We have continued to play the glockenspiels in Music and started to learn about notation today.  The children also listened to Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' and drew pictures showing how the music made them feel.  
• Friday 30 April 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 3 This week the children were making pictures in Art out of natural objects with Mrs Gray.  We have been working on doubles and halves and  fractions in Maths and have started a new book in Literacy - 'The Slightly Annoying Elephant' by David Walliams.  The children are enjoying watching their beans grow in Science.  We have been playing the glockenspiels in Music.  Today is 'National Daily Mile' day so the children all did some extra laps this morning!
• Friday 23 April 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 2 This week the children all planted beans in Science.  We are watching them carefully to see if we can see any signs of germination!  Year 2s enjoyed their first cricket session on Wednesday, while Year 1s were doing computing with Mr House.  They will swap over in a few weeks.  We have continued our work on addition and subtraction in Maths and had a grammar focus in Literacy this week.  
• Friday 16 April 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 1 We have had a lovely first week back after the Easter Holidays.  It has flown by!  The children all wrote recounts of their Easter holidays in Literacy.  We have started a new topic of Plants in Science.  In Topic the children made clay models of something 'natural'.  We have enjoyed our first music session on a song called 'Our Immagination' and the children started to make up their own lyrics for it.  P.E. was rather wet this week but the children did brilliantly as usual!  Our certificate winners this week are: Henry and Cole for a great improvement with their writing. Flynn is our star reader. Archie won the Sports Award. Have a lovely weekend everyone.

• Friday 5 March 2021 Fox Class Spring Week 8 Congratulations Fox Class on being so amazing over the past 8 weeks of home schooling.  You have been absolute superstars and I am so proud of you all.  It has been a lovely end with World Book Day this week.  You had some amazing costumes and it was good fun guessing each other's costumes on Zoom.  I have been so impressed with all of your guinea-pig leaflets this week.  You will all be experts at looking after Chocco and Fudge next week!  Shelley is looking forward to seeing you too.  
• Friday 26 February 2021 Fox Class week 7  Well done Fox Class on another super week.  You have all worked so hard.  Only 1 more week now until we are all back to school.  I hope you have enjoyed making your little 'looking forward to' pots in PSHE today.  I loved looking at all the images you managed to inset into your documents for Computing.  Have a lovely weekend and well done to you all.
• Friday 12 February 2021 Fox Class Spring Week 6  Well done to all of you for being so amazing this half-term.  It seems a life-time ago that we were back at school for one day after Christmas!  Despite being suddenly thrown into home-schooling again over night you all adapted so quickly and so sensibly and I have been blown away by the standard of work that I have seen from you this half-term.  I am so proud of you all and thank you so much to your parents for all of their hard work.  Your stories based on 'The baby who wouldn't go to bed' this week have been so impressive.  I have really enjoyed seeing your finished pages for our eBook too.  Have a really lovely half-term all of you and see you again on Zoom on the 22nd!  
• Friday 5 February 2021 Fox Class Spring Week 5 Well done everyone on another fantastic week.  I have been really impressed with all of the work that you have uploaded to Teams and all of your hard work on Zoom.  You have really worked hard on your Literacy tasks to do with our book 'The Baby who wouldn't go to Bed'.  We had great fun doing our next Charanga Music lesson at school on the bucket drums - I hope you are enjoying these sessions at home too.  It has been lovely seeing all of the other things that you have been doing at home too.  Have a great weekend all of you and well done.
• Friday 29 January 2021 Fox Class Spring Week 4 Thank you for all of the lovely photos this week Fox Class.  I have loved looking at everything that you have been doing and I am sure you will all enjoy seeing each other's too.  I have been particularly impressed with the pictures that you all did for Computing this week - well done!  I am looking forward to reading all your letters this weekend that you have written to me - I will have learnt so many facts after reading all of them!  Have a good weekend all of you and well done for another fabulous week.  Mrs Ward
