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. 

Term Two

UK Explorers

The Big Question :

Why is London our capital city?

Here is our key vocabulary for the term:

We become explorers this term, starting our journey in our local area of Branston, then venturing out around the UK and ending our trip in our capital city, London, to answer our big question this term. While in London, we will be designing, making and evaluating a vehicle to go on our tour of London in DT.  In Geography, we will also be creating maps and identifying landmarks including the key human and physical geographical features of Branston and the UK.   

In Science we are going to be identifying and naming a variety of common animals. Then categorising them into different groups including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

In Maths we are going to be adding, subtracting and beginning to look at 2D shapes.  Our focus text in English is The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson. We will also be writing our own poems!

In RE we continue to answer the question: What is a human being? By looking at Muslim and Sikh world views.   

Our PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This term we are working on our attacking, defending and teamwork.

As a school we share the same values:

      LOVE        KINDNESS        COMMUNITY        FORGIVENESS        PERSEVERANCE        RESPECT

Our Term 2 value is RESPECT.
