'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 have so many fun and exciting activities planned for Foxes this year.
Term One
Brilliant Branston!
Throughout the term we will keep referring back to our BIG Question.
Our BIG Question this term:
What are the Geographical Features in Branston?
Key vocabulary :
As Geographers, we explore our school grounds and village of Branston, creating different maps and a journey journal.
In English, we will be joining in with the repetitive language in the traditional tale, The Three Little Pigs and writing a recount of In Every House on Every Street by Jess Hitchman. Our focus in Maths is place value within 10 and then we move onto addition and subtraction.
In Science, we learn just how amazing our bodies are by naming the different parts of the human body, exploring, and using our five senses.
We think about what makes us brilliant and our brilliant surroundings; drawing and painting landscapes of our local area in Art.
We start our Computing lessons this term by making sure we know what E-safety is and how to keep ourselves safe online.
In Music we are learning all about beats - finding the beat through pulse and rhythm.
In PSHE we will be celebrating ourselves and learning about our minds and bodies. We will think about ourselves in relation to our families and school.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS HONESTY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our value this term 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 website and Twitter page throughout the year to find out what we are enjoying learning about.
