'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, practical and play based 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.
We can't wait to start our next topic...
Term Four
Seed, Soil and Sunshine!
The Big Question :Why is each part of a plant important and how do the seasons affect them?
Here is our key vocabulary for the term:
This term, we are identifying and naming a variety of common plants and trees and learning about the basic structure of a plant during our Spring walk in order to help us answer our BIG Question this term in Science. Having found out what plants need to grow; the children will be growing their own grass pets!
In History, we are studying Sir Joseph Banks, we will be finding out about his amazing discoveries and his local history links to Lincolnshire. In PSHE, we will be discussing the important people in our lives, what healthy and positive relationships look like, and how to recognise the people we can trust. The children will be learning about nutrition and where food comes from in DT. They will be designing, making and evaluating a rainbow salad.
In English, our focus text is The Big Book of Blooms by Yuval Zommer from which the children will write a non-chronological report. In Maths, we will be looking at Place Value to 50, then moving onto measuring length and height. Towards the end of the term, we begin to learn about mass and volume.
Our PE days continue to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We will be revisiting different rolls, creating sequences, and perfecting their jumping skills.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS COMMUNITY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our Term 4 value is: PERSEVERANCE
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
