Welcome to Hedgehog Class Page! We will post useful information here, such as project letters and links to learning resources. We will also share some of our great learning with you!
Term 5 Knowledge Planners
Please see the link for Term 5 Knowledge Planners. This is a useful guide on what your child’s prior knowledge should be for each unit and some of the key vocabulary, knowledge and skills they will gain during this term.
Home Learning
Please see below a plan for what we are covering this week in class. If your child is unable to come to school because you are isolating as a household (but they are otherwise well) they can use the information and resources below to keep learning from home. If you would like your child’s class teacher to see the work your child has done, then please email them the work once for the day or upload it on to Tapestry. Your class teachers’ email address can be found on your class webpage.
Phonics Information Session for Parents
Please check out our information videos on Tapestry, where we explain how we teach phonics at St John's and how you can support your child at home. Below are some useful information sheets for you to use at home.

PE
Hedgehogs have PE with Mr Rouse on a Thursday. Please can they come to school in their PE kit on this day. They can wear a pair of navy jogging bottoms instead of shorts, if you prefer. They will need to wear their school shoes and jumper with their PE kit, and keep a pair of daps in their PE bag in the cloakroom.

This term we will be exploring our outdoor area to see what nature we can find! We will watch our caterpillars grow into beautiful butterflies and will also plant some beans. We will start the project with a whole school writing project based on the book 'Here We Are' by Oliver Jeffers.
Term 4 - Journeys
Journeys - Curriculum Overview
This term we will be finding out all about journeys and different types of transport. We will start by thinking of journeys close to home, and then move on to journeys around the world.
We are really looking forward to welcoming all of the children back in to school this term and can't wait to see them!
Term 2 - Can you Build It?...Pirates!
This term we will be finding out all about pirates. We started the term with a delivery from Pirate Pip. He is not feeling well and needs our help to look after his treasure chest whilst he recovers. The children are very excited about completing his pirate challenges, in the hopes that he might make them part of his pirate crew!

We had lots of fun this term getting to know our knew friends and school. We hope you have enjoyed seeing what your child has got up to on Tapestry and in their first term books. Well done Hedgehogs for a brilliant start to your school life.
We planted spring bulbs ready for the new year.
We listened to lots of different stories and got involved with story role play.
