'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 Five
Amazing Africa!
The Big Question :Is It Ever Cold In Africa?
Here is our key vocabulary for the term:
Term Five sees us become explorers as we travel all the way to the continent of Africa!
We will be using our map skills to locate Africa on world maps, atlases and globes. We continue our expedition further by studying the small village of Awra Amba in Ethiopia. The children will create a case study, researching its climate and geographical features. Using their case studies, they will compare Awra Amba to Branston.
In English, our focus texts are Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett and Little People Big Dreams - Vanessa Nakate.
In Maths, we will be looking at multiplication and division and then fractions. Towards the end of the term, we begin to learn how to tell the time.
Our PE days continue to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The children will be practicing their striking and fielding skills.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS COMMUNITY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our Term 5 value is: FORGIVENESS
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
