'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 - Miss Heald - Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Teaching Assistants - Mr Coy, Miss Small 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.
Term Six
Marvellous Minibeasts
Throughout the term we will keep referring back to our BIG Question.
Our BIG Question this term:
What is a minibeast and are they all herbivores?
Key vocabulary - Minibeast, habitat, herbivore, omnivore, thorax, abdomen, antenna, carnivore, vertebrate and invertebrate.
During the term in science, we explore this terms big question and gather information to provide us with an answer. We will be finding out all about minibeasts by observing them in action in their habitats.
The children will identify and name the types of minibeasts.
In English we do not stop learning about minibeasts. We are going to delve into the books, The Big book of Bugs by Yuval Zommer and Matisse’s Magical Trail by Tom Hopgood and Sam Boughton. These books will be used to show the children a range of texts and guide them in writing non-chronological reports and a story.
In art the children will be learning about William De Morgan and sculpt their own minibeasts tile using clay.
In history we will be learning all about the life and work of Sir David Attenborough. In doing this we will be writing a timeline of events and about the way he shapes the world to learn about climate change and what to do to prevent it.
In maths we start to explore the words associated with position and direction. We will also extend our knowledge in place value. In P.E the children will be developing their skills in tennis by taking part in an enrichment day. We will also be perfecting our skills in sprinting and balancing as we get ready for Sports Day.
In PSHE the children will learn about their rights and how they have access to an education. We have RSE day, where the children take part in activities throughout the day.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS HONESTY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our value this term is Honesty
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 website, ClassDojo and Twitter page throughout the year to find out what we are enjoying learning about.
