Welcome to Paris Class

Hello and welcome to Paris class. My name is Miss Jones and this is my second year teaching at St. Aloysius. This school has a very special place in my heart as my family have been members of the church community for many years. In our class, we aim to live out our mission statement through trying our best in everything we do. Every day we approach our learning with a positive attitude, following in the footsteps of Jesus. I look forward to teaching all of your children this year.

Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday. On Mondays we will be doing gymnastics and on Wednesdays we have Coach John from Mersey Mavericks teaching us basketball,

We have spelling homework on Seesaw and a test every Tuesday.
