'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.
PE
PE sessions are during the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so please come in PE kits on these days.
We can't wait to start our next topic...
Term Six
Paws, Claws and Whiskers!
The Big Question : Are all animals carnivores?
Here is our key vocabulary for the term:
Throughout this term, we will be building our knowledge about animals. We will observe a range of different animals, looking closely at their teeth, habitats and other features.
We build on our knowledge of animals through designing and creating an animal sculpture using recycled materials in Art.
In Geography we further explore the world’s seven continents and five oceans and The Equator. We then look at the four main compass points and create our own compasses!
We continue exploring world views in RE by looking at the different ways people worship.
In PSHE we look at different emotions including empathy and think about how we can look after our environment and the animals within it.
One of our focus texts for English is The Little People, Big Dreams: Jane Goodall for inspiration for our writing of a non-chronological report. In Maths, we are looking at geometry (position and direction), place value to 100, money and time.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS COMMUNITY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our Term 6 value is: LOVE
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
