Welcome back to Hedgehogs class! In Hedgehogs we show respect, be kind to our friends, look after our classroom and take pride in our work, with high expectations. We are now in our last term, and we are really applying our learning and increasing our independence. Squirrels are starting to prepare, in different ways, for our transition into Year 1.
In English this term we will be continuing our daily phonics through ‘Jolly Phonics’. Our topic for the first half term is ‘People who help us’. Our focus will be topic themed, that will include the books Zog and the Flying Doctor, A Superhero Like You, Lost and Found, Supertato and The Smartest Giant in Town. In the last half term, our topic will be ‘Adventures’ where we will be learning and talking about key figures from the past, such as Neil Armstrong and Mary Anning including the book ‘Great Woman Who Changed the World’. As a class we will read lots of pirate adventure stories, such as Aliens Who Love Underpants and Pirate Captain Flynn.
Our Maths focus will be securing our knowledge of number and numerical patterns, with solving problems and fast recall of our number bonds to 5 and our doubling facts to 5.
In PE the children will be developing their gross and fine motor skills within different multi skills activities, sports day games and problem solving within physical activities and teamwork.
Hedgehogs have an exciting summer term ahead of them!
Thank you.

In Hedgehogs we are kind and caring towards one another, we look after our classroom and we are proud of our achievements. We have had a busy Autumn term getting used to our new school and friends. We are very excited about the new Spring term ahead and the learning that will take place.
The first half term will involve reading and learning about different ‘Traditional Tales’, where we will explore different rhymes and poems. The second half term will involve ‘Living Things’, where we will learn about the life cycle of different animals and plants.
In English this term we are continuing with daily phonics through ‘Jolly phonics’. Hedgehogs have high expectations of handwriting and take pride in their presentation. Each of the children try very hard with their letter and number formation. Across the term, we will read the books Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, The Gingerbread Man, Three Little Pigs, Cinderella, various nursery rhymes and poems, The Hungry Caterpillar, Jack and the Beanstalk and Handa’s Surprise. Our Maths focus will continue to develop and secure our knowledge within number, with fast recall of number bonds and problem solving and reasoning.
I look forward to another fantastic term with Hedgehogs.
Thank you
Miss Grabham
