Welcome to Class Oak

Welcome to Class Oak! Our teacher is Mr Gordon. Mrs Noble and Mrs Houghton will also be teaching and supporting us this year. We are so excited to be back at school!

Here is a summary of some of the work we will be completing in the Autumn Term:

Being in the Upper Juniors means we have certain responsibilities and we are expected to set an amazing example to the younger children. We will always put 100% into every piece of work we do and be excellent role models. We are always very busy in class and are looking forward to a new year at Aughton Town Green.
