Welcome to Hedgehog Class

Welcome to our Class

Welcome to Hedgehog Class! We are a Year 1 Class and Mrs Bowen is your class teacher. Mrs Davies and Mrs Edwards will also be working with Hedgehog Class across the week.

If you would like to speak to me please telephone the school office or send me a message on Class Dojo. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

General Information

*School starts at 8:45am  so please be ready to join us for a fun filled day!

*Reading Folders should be sent into school on a Thursday for us to update Reading Records and swap the home reading books. They will be returned to you on a Friday.

*PE kits should be sent in on a Monday and kept in school for the week. Our set PE day is a Wednesday but we will have other PE sessions through the week. Please send a PE top in the colour of your child’s house team. If you are unsure of what colour this is please ask a member of staff and they will let you know.

Topic

This week we have begun to look at castles. The children have really enjoyed looking at non-fiction books on this topic. We have talked about the names and basic jobs of the key parts of castles. The following link takes you to a matching game. The children may need some support to help them read the definitions before matching the correct label.

Squirrels and Owls are heading to Stafford Castle on Tuesday 9th of April. While Hedgehog Class will be going on Wednesday 10th. Please contact you child’s class teacher if you are able to help on these trips

Maths

We have revisited the topic of shape this week, thinking about both “2D flat” shapes and “3D fat” ones. Can you hunt around the house to find examples of squares, triangles, circles, oblongs(rectangles) and hexagons as well as cubes, cuboids, cylinders, cones, pyramids and spheres? Shape escape will help remember their names…
