Welcome to Hedgehogs class page.

The Year 1 children have settled in wonderfully, and we have been impressed by their eagerness to learn. We've had a busy start to the term! In English, we’ve been working with the book ‘Mini Rabbit Not Lost’ by John Bond, reading a few pages each lesson to build anticipation as the plot unfolds. Our writing activities included setting and character descriptions, instruction writing, poems, and questions. We have also engaged with the story through drama activities such as acting out the story, playing ‘conscience alley,’ and performing our poems. In Maths, we began by sorting and comparing numbers, using the part-part-whole model to identify relationships between numbers. We have also reviewed the number of bonds to 10 and practised addition.

Our Geography lessons have focused on learning about where we live, naming the four countries of the UK, and creating aerial plans of our classrooms. In History, we’ve explored key events in our lives so far. The focus in Science has been seasonal changes, weather patterns, and how trees change, even presenting our own weather reports. In Art, we experimented with different types of lines, and in RE, we have learnt about Harvest and how wonderful our world is. We have enjoyed using the new laptops in Computing . We have practised logging in and saving work.

The children in Hedgehogs class have made a very positive start to the year. We are very much looking forward to working with you all and making this year a very successful one!
