Hedgehog Class
Welcome to Hedgehog Class
2024.2025
Welcome to Hedgehog Class, our Year 1 and 2 class. Miss Wheatley is our class teacher and Mrs Steventon is our teaching assistant. We have a very exciting year ahead of us! This page will be updated regularly with photos and news of all of our amazing learning.
Please check your child's book bag regularly. The children will receive a new decodable colour book every Friday as well as a book that they have chosen to read for pleasure.
Please visit our gallery page to see what we have been learning.
Home Learning
Every Friday your child will take home their home learning book. They will have a list of words to practice reading and a list of words to practice spelling using 'Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check'. The home learning is really important and helps the children with the work they do in school. Please can home learning books be returned to school the following Thursday.
We will continue to use Numbots. Please encourage your child to spend some time each week practising their maths skills using Numbots.
Our PE days continue to be Thursday and Friday. Please wear PE kit to school on BOTH days.
Term 4 Week 2 - The Easter Story.
In RE our Big question is 'Why does Easter matter to Christians?'. As part of our Big Question, we acted out the Easter Story, freeze framing on important events.
Jesus rides into Jerusalem. Judas betrays Jesus. The Last Supper.
Jesus is arrested. Jesus carries the cross through the streets. Jesus is crucified.
Jesus visits his friends before going to Heaven.
Term 3 Week 6 - Global Explorers Resourceful Day
To end our term we had our third Global Explorers day. We had so much fun putting our independence, resilience, perseverance, co-operation, team work and kindness skills into practice. We learnt about a boy called William Kamkwanba who lived in Malawi. He showed great perseverance, resilience and independence to continue his learning to build a wind turbine for his village. We also made 'resilience rocks' and had The Problem Solving Company visit us for a fun workshop.
Term 3 Week 3 - Maths
This week we have been adding two two-digit numbers. We have learnt how to use base ten equipment and part-part whole models to help us solve some very tricky equations using known facts.
Today we had Daniel from The Bridge Youth Project join us. We learnt about God's creation of the World and made our own creatures out of playdough. Here are some of our wonderful additions to God's World.
This week we have been learning how to add and subtract multiples of 10 using our known facts of number bonds to 10 to help us. In PE we have learnt how to throw and catch accurately in a team by calling our team member's name first.
