'The Best We Can Be'
Fox Class Year One
Fox Class 
Hello and a big warm welcome to Fox's 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, 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!
PE
Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child comes dressed in their PE kit on these days. Thank you! J
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 Two
Fossil Hunters!
The Big Question - What did Mary Anning discoveries tell us about the past and why is she still remembered today?
In History, the children will explore the big question: Who was Mary Anning? They will learn about her life, her incredible fossil discoveries, and why her contributions remain important today.
Having learnt about fossils, we learn about animals, mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and amphibians in Science. Using this knowledge, the children are able to categorise and answer quiz questions about living things.
Inspired by our topic the children learn basic sewing skills in DT through designing, making, and evaluating their own fossil hunting pouch.
In English our first text is The Light House Keeper’s Lunch. We will be writing instructions on how to bake the perfect sea biscuits and jam tarts – Yum! Our focus text for the second half of the term is The Storm Whale.
We will be adding and subtracting numbers to ten and then moving onto shape in Maths.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS COMMUNITY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our value this term is RESPECT
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 website and Twitter page throughout the year to find out what we are enjoying learning about.
