This half term our theme is Animals. We have read the text The Pig in the Pond and have enjoyed retelling the story using puppets. We have learnt about the life cycle of a frog. 

We enjoyed sharing photos of our pets and talked about how we care for them. We had a great time on our trip to White Post Farm where we saw lots of animals and went on a tractor ride. 

We celebrated Disney Day at the beginning of the term and parents came to join us to watch our Whole school Disney dance. We also celebrated VE day where we dressed in red, blue and white. 

This half term our theme is Growing. We read the story Jack and the Beanstalk. We planted our own seeds and watched them grow. We have written a set of instructions to tell others how to grow seeds. 

We have lots of fun celebrating  and dressing up for World Book Day, Red Nose Day and at the end of term we enjoyed celebrating Easter. 

This half term our focus is Traditional Tales. We have enjoyed creating lots of story maps and acting out the tales as a class.

During our PE lessons we have been working on Gymnastics and we have learnt how to make shapes with our bodies and created short sequences by linking actions together. 

We enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year, Big Dreams Day and had a fantastic time at Tiny Town. 

This half term our theme is 'Celebrations'. We have looked at Remembrance Day, Birthdays, Weddings, Bonfire Night and Christmas. Hedgehog Class had a brilliant time at the Pantomime. 

At the end of term we performed our Reception Nativity. The children did an amazing job!

The hedgehog children have settled really well into reception. They have made friends and have developed in confidence. They have learnt through lots of activities indoor and outdoor. We have been learning how to become independent individuals who try our best and show kindness to our friends.

Welcome all new Hedgehog children and their families. We are looking forward to the year ahead and having lots of fun!

We have been busy planting lots of seeds. We started with cress seeds and beans and all the children planted a sunflower. I can’t wait to hear about how much they have grown.

In maths we have finding different ways to make 7 and some children are able to record the number bonds. Hedgehogs are maths superstars.

We have been busy building some great structures in the block area.

The children had  a lovely day dressing up as their favourite character for World Book Day.They  read and listened to stories, made castles, potions and wands and played the ‘Tiger who came to tea’. It was great having parents join in the fun.

Well done Hedgehog class, you were all superstars and very confident in our Christmas

concert.

Hedgehog class have been having lots of fun in maths. We have been subitising, counting and recognising shapes. We used our autumn collections to make repeating patterns.
