Mr Fisher

 

Welcome to Mr Fisher's Class!

 

Below is some key information that you might find useful.

 

Our Autumn Term Topic was
'Epic Explorers'.

 

This was a History based topic. The children spent time completing Curriculum activities linked to the work of Christopher Columbus, Charles Darwin, Neil Armstrong and Robert Falcon Scott .

 

 Our Spring Term Topic was 'Farm to Fork'.

 

This was a Science based topic that covered Healthy eating, Plants, Animals and Health and Growth. Links will be made to all Curriculum areas where possible. 

 

Our Summer Term Topic is 'We're Going On A Bear Hunt'.

 

This is a Geography and Science based topic that covers materials, the seasons as well as comparing where we live with another Country . Links will be made to all Curriculum areas where possible. 

 

Homework
This will be handed out on a Friday and is due back in the following Friday at the very latest. Where possible, homework will link to work being covered in class.
 

Spellings
Spellings are also handed out on a Friday ready for a test the following Friday. Please make sure the children are practising their spellings every week.

 

Reading Books

 I am encouraging the children to change reading books as regularly as possible. Please ensure you record any reading that takes place at home with a simple comment inside the small blue book (Reading Record). Finished books can be placed inside the classroom crate on a daily basis but they will not be changed unless the reading record has been written in.

 

Over the course of the term I will look to update this class page with all the different things that are going on in Year 1/2.

R.E - The journey of the Lampedusa Cross - The cross which was made from the wood a boat that sunk off the coast of Lampedusa is travelling between all of the Catholic Schools in the Diocese. As part of its journey, each Class walked the replica of the Cross around the perimeter of the Playground with the aim of covering the distance from here to St Joseph's in Bridgwater (its next destination). We followed up our walk by making our own crosses.

World Book Day 2019 - Wow, what a day! The children came to school dressed in pajamas and dressing gowns ready for a day of fun! We began with an assembly lead by Miss Bishop followed by a secret story we had chosen to listen to read by a member of Staff. Back in Class, the children completed activities based around 'The Gingerbread Man'. We made moving Gingerbread men attaching body parts using split pins; We decorated Gingerbread men with icing and sugar balls; We wrote down ideas of how we could stop the Gingerbread man; We traced our favourite page from the story and we made book marks. Our day ended with a trip to Mr Franklin's Class where the younger children paired up with the older ones and shared their favourite books. A busy day had by all and lots of photos to look through!

English - Today our Class along with Miss Bishop's Class walked up to Burnham seafront. The children were armed with pencils and clipboards and had to draw simple pictures to remind them of the different landmarks they passed on the walk. The idea is that they will then use these pictures to help them write a simple recount next week.
