For the next couple of weeks, Hedgehog Class are going to be looking for the signs of spring. Let’s hope the weather realises it’s spring soon too! Here they are doing some beautiful observational drawings of things we found outside.

We have been learning the story “Let’s all creep through crocodile creek” since coming back to school in January. Today, we learnt how to make a story map by creating a whole class shared one. After that, the children took it in turns to retell the whole story using their map to help them. We all think they did a super job of their first story maps and can’t wait to see them having a go at making their own later in the week!
As part of our “Winter” topic, the children spent some time looking at different photos of winter, before creating their own winter scene using paint and tin foil.
On Monday, Hedgehog Class had a great time outside in the snow. We were exploring different ways of melting snow and ice. We learnt that for water to freeze, the temperature must be below 0°c. We used our hands, warm water, salt, paint, washing up liquid and soap to find out what melted the ice and snow the fastest.
Happy New Year to you all! We’re excited to be welcoming you all back after the Christmas break. Please click on the links below for information about Hedgehog Class this term and to find out what the children will be learning. There is further information on the Class Information page.
As always, if you have any questions, please let one of us know.

This morning the children have been busy making their Christingles for our church service this afternoon. Rev. Lucinda came in to talk to the children about the meaning of the Christingle and then we split into different classes to make our own. The older children did a fantastic job of helping the younger children. Well done team!
We have all had a fantastic time at Shrewsbury Fire Station this morning. Our visit was planned to enhance our learning about People Who Help Us. We learnt all about the different jobs that firefighters do and they showed us all of the equipment they use to do those jobs quickly and safely.
The children asked some fantastic questions and had lots of fun!
We’ve had a very exciting morning in Hedgehog Class! We came back from worship to find flour footprints, lots of different ingredients and baking equipment in our classroom! We all had a long think and a chat about where these things came from and the Reception children decided that it must have been a real life Gingerbread Man. We can’t wait to find out what else he might get up to!
We welcomed our new Reception children into Hedgehog Class yesterday. They all had a fantastic day! Here’s a few of the things that they got up to…
