5K-The Olympians
'Education is one thing no one can take away from you.'
Hello and welcome to our class page. My name is Miss Kolaitis and I am the class teacher in 5K.
Miss F Bamford is our learning support assistant.
In year 5, we uphold the Cherry Fold ethos throughout all aspects of school life in our calm and nurturing learning environment. Together, we will combine hard work with lots of fun, empowering us to become confident, passionate and successful learners.
Please make sure you are connected to both Class Dojo https://www.classdojo.com/ and Parentmail https://pmx.parentmail.co.uk/#core/login
so you don't miss out on any updates from school - these include after school clubs.
We are looking forward to another busy term covering some fantastic topics.
