WELCOME TO THE FOXES CLASS

Welcome to Foxes Class

Welcome to the Foxes! We are a warm, nurturing and vibrant class where every child is supported to grow in confidence, communication and independence. We learn through a mixture of structured teaching, sensory exploration, real-life experiences and lots of repetition and visual support to help pupils feel secure and successful.

Our Class Teacher is Mrs Blackmore.

Our Class Teaching Assistants are:
Mrs Gamble, Mrs Sama, Mrs Paneri, Mrs De Souza, Mrs Vaid, Mr Powell and Mrs Smith.

We are all looking forward to a very exciting year ahead. We have lots to learn and lots of exploring to do! 🦊

Every Child is an Individual

In Foxes, we celebrate each child as a unique learner. Every child has a personalised curriculum, tailored to their needs, interests and stage of development.

We use PIVATS to assess where each child is working and to set small, manageable and meaningful targets. These targets are reviewed and updated each term so we can track progress closely and celebrate every success — no matter how big or small.

This ensures every child experiences achievement, pride and a sense of belonging in our classroom.

What We Are Learning This Half Term

This half term our class book is The Jolly Postman.

We will be sharing the story daily through:

Sensory story sessions with props and repeated language
Role play and turn-taking activities
Makaton signing and communication boards
Exploring real letters, envelopes and stamps

Linked activities include:

Setting up our own Post Office role play area
Posting letters around school and delivering messages
Mark-making and writing cards and simple letters (at each child’s level)
Sorting and matching characters and items from the story
Craft activities such as making post bags, postcards and character puppets

Our focus is on communication, joining in, sharing experiences and developing independence at each child’s stage of learning.
