'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 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 Three
A Castle Fit for a King!
The Big Question - Why did William the Conqueror choose Lincoln to build a castle?
Here is our key vocabulary for the term!
In History, the children will explore the big question and learn all about castles, and how they were made.
Keeping with our Castles theme, in DT we will be making a castle front with a moving part!
In Science we will be learning about materials. We will learn about the different properties and work scientifically to carry out a waterproof investigation.
Our focus text in English is ‘Zog’ by Julia Donaldson. We will also be looking at non-fiction castle books and writing a recount of our trip to Lincoln Castle.
We continue our work on shape and pattern in Maths and then move into Place Value and addition and subtraction to 20.
We will be answering the question: What is a worldview? In RE and thinking about Muslim’s worldviews.
Our focus in Computing is digital music. We will be learning all about rhythm and pattern. We will be learning about friendship in PSHE and thinking about how to be a good friend.
Our PE days continue to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We are going to be balancing, jumping and landing in different ways.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS COMMUNITY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our value this term is COMMUNITY
We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning lots of new things, making friends and having fun!
