'The Best We Can Be'
Fox Class Year One
Fox Class 
Hello and a big warm welcome to the Fox Class page!
Fox Class is our Year 1 Class.
Meet the Key Stage One Fox Class Team:
Teacher - Miss Gaul - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
Teacher - Mrs Shirra - Wednesday pm, Thursday and Friday
Teaching Assistant - Mr Coy
Year 1 begins the children's journey into Key Stage One. We make this transition from Reception (EYFS) into Year 1 and the next stage in your child's learning easier by supporting them with lots of hands on learning through our inspiring and creative curriculum.
In Fox Class we learn in a variety of ways, with a mixture of formal and practical learning. Children take part in whole class, group and independent activities throughout the day.
We provide a safe and happy environment where pupils and teachers work together, share ideas and experiences and encourage one another to be the best that they can be!
Homework
Homework is set at the beginning of each term and there are 9 activities to choose from: 3 English, 3 Maths and 3 topic linked tasks. Each week please choose one activity to complete. Homework books are collected in on a Monday and returned on a Wednesday.
PE
PE sessions are during the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so please come in PE kits on these days.
We can't wait to welcome our new Fox Class children and start our next topic...
Term One
Wonderful Me!
The Big Question :
Why are Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole still remembered today?
Here is our key vocabulary for the term:
In order to answer our big question this term we become Historians on our journey into the past. We will find out all about the life and work of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole, creating timelines and making comparisons. I wonder what we will discover?
In Maths we will be learning about different measurements and place value and to begin our English this term we will be practising the alphabet and then reading The Gingerbread Man, Traditional Tale.
We will be research Frida Kahlo in Art and creating self portraits in and thinking about our families and what makes us unique in PSHE.
In RE we will be answering the question: What is a human being? And in Science we will be learning about how amazing our bodies are by naming the different parts of the human body, exploring and using our five senses.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS COMMUNITY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our Term One value is: KINDNESS
We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning lots of new things, making friends and having fun! We will be sharing with you all the lovely things that happen in our Year 1 class so please keep visiting our school website, Facebook and Instagram accounts throughout the year to find out what we are enjoying learning about! #TeamBranston
