'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 Heald
Teaching Assistants - Mr Coy and Mrs Hutton
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.
