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!
Timetable
Here is Hedgehogs timetable. Have a look to find out what your child does at school! It also tells you when your child's books are changed, our library day and our PE day.
PE
For Term 2, Hedgehogs will have PE with Mrs Smith on a Wednesday afternoon. (We swap PE days with Ducklings each half term, so that the children are also taught by Mr Rouse.) They can wear a pair of navy jogging bottoms instead of shorts, if you prefer. They will need to wear dark coloured trainers and their school jumper with their PE kit, and keep a pair of daps in their PE bag in the cloakroom.

Outside
During the first few weeks of term we had lots of lovely weather! We had lots of fun outside!
