Year 2 - Fir

 

Miss Frances and Ms Lindsay welcome you to Fir Class! ‘Child Led’ learning is an approach, which is found across Broomhill Infants, and it is no different in Fir class. We prioritise the children’s interests and use them to direct our learning topics. One week it is baking gingerbread characters, the next it might be fairy-tales and dragons!

Our class ethos is simple; we pride ourselves in being respectful, team players and brave. We are respectful of each other, of our differences and of our environment. We work together as a team to take care of each other and to bring diverse strengths to group learning. We are brave because we are not worried about getting things wrong or falling down at the first hurdle. With lots of warmth and encouragement, we work together to try new experiences and to revisit and refine already lived ones!

Miss Lindsay is a creative and innovative member of our team and she loves to share her passions for the arts with the children in Fir class. She can often be found designing story maps with the children, making character puppets and practising different drawing skills with the children. Miss Frances is a keen culture vulture and she loves to use a mix of technology and artefacts to share different cultures around the world. Google Earth is a weekly visited site in Fir class! The children can often be found cooking up storms of dishes from different cultures, using their maths and science skills to do so.

Some important information to know:

• Children should bring bottled water and their book bag daily.
• PE is on a Tuesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon. Children will need to wear their PE kit to school on this day.
• Reading and phonics books should be brought in every day.
• Children can access online learning using BugClub for reading, DoodleMaths for mathematics and PurpleMash for computing, utilising personal logins provided by the class teacher.
• Please label everything that your child brings in (hats, bookbags, coats, jumpers, etc.).
