Easter Gardens
Today we continued to our exploration of the Easter story to answer the big question ‘Why do Christians put a cross in an Easter garden?’ We created our own Easter gardens, talking about the representation of each part and how this helps Christians to remember what happened at the very first Easter.
We were very proud of our gardens when we had finished.
The Continents and Oceans
We have been learning the names of the continents and oceans in Hedgehogs. To learn these, we have been using two songs that we really enjoy singing! Please find below links to these songs so we can share our learning with you at home!
Hedgehogs Homework – 4.4.25
This week in Hedgehogs we have been learning about Easter around the world, and about the tradition of decorating eggs.
For homework this week, I would like you to decorate a hard-boiled egg and bring it in next Friday for us to show the rest of the school our cracking creations!
How egg-citing can you make your design?
There will be prizes for the most eggs-traordinary!
Comic Relief in Hedgehogs
We’ve had a very busy and exciting day in Hedgehogs today. We have found out about why we are raising money for Comic Relief. We learned about the history of the red nose and how it changes before designing and making our own with playdough. We also made tasty red nose biscuits and played with red oobleck. We found it fascinating to watch the way it changed when we were using it.
Hot Cross Buns
In R.E. we have been learning about the cross as a symbol of Easter. Today we learned about hot cross buns and how they can be used to represent parts of the Easter story. We learned the hot cross bun rhyme, tasted hot cross buns and used scented playdough to make our own.
This week in Hedgehogs
This week in Hedgehogs we have really enjoyed our first week of learning about Under the Sea. We have found out about what might live under the sea and the life cycle of a sea turtle. We have used the small world lots in the tuff tray and enjoyed playing in the water and foam! We have also explored bubbles and learned about submarines. We made submarines in the construction area and have begun to make a big submarine for us to use in our role play over the next few weeks. Now we are especially looking forward to finding out more about sharks and orcas!
We have also started the process of growing some potatoes and learned how to chit potatoes ready for planting in a couple of weeks. Our plan is to grow our own potato salad to eat in the summer term!
Worm Charming
Today we decided to test some of the different methods we learnt we Kris on Tuesday to see if we could charm some worms out of the ground on the school field. We chose four of the methods; worm grunting with two sticks, pouring soapy water on the ground, paddling on the ground like a gull and singing to the worms. All of the methods worked, but we found out that the worm grunting was definitely the most effective.
Birdwatching in Hedgehogs
We’ve had a lovely week in Hedgehogs this week, learning all about British birds, especially those that we are likely to find in our locality. We have made binoculars, learnt how to identify different species by their appearance, been bird spotting as part of the RSPB Birdwatch, and recreated our favourite garden bird.
Andy Goldsworthy Inspired Frozen Art
This week we have been looking at art by Andy Goldsworthy including sculptures using ice. We used a range of natural materials and water to create images and then left them outside overnight to freeze. We are very pleased with our final pieces of frozen artwork.
