Hedgehog Class have been challenged to make triangles this morning using smaller shapes. It took a lot of thinking about but I think you’ll agree they all did an awesome job! Good work team!

Earlier this week, the reception children went outside for a “signs of spring” hunt. They had a wonderful time searching the school grounds for the items on their list and there was some lovely vocabulary development too!

Today was our last PE lesson on “Ball Games” for this academic year. Today’s focus was football skills and goal scoring. The children worked very hard in this lesson and we were delighted with the progress they made! Better still, every single one of them scored a goal for Team Hedgehogs!

Hedgehog Class had an amazing time at the Blue Planet Aquarium a couple of weeks ago. The children were delighted to get up close to some fantastic under water animals and put some of their recent learning into a real life context. They also enjoyed the habitats workshop where they learnt which animals live in coral reefs, the open ocean and rock pools. What a super day of learning!

What a wonderful afternoon we’ve had in the outdoor learning area in Hedgehog Class! The children engaged in some beautiful child initiated play today.

Some of the girls enjoyed developing their fine motor and mark making skills with some colouring/drawing…

Other children were exploring mechanisms and capacity in the water tray…

The boys showed an interest in the bug hotel this afternoon and then created their own in the back of a digger…

Some of the children decided to read a story to others…

Some of them did some great writing/drawing outside…

And the rest of them spent a very long time creating and then using a fantastic obstacle course!
