Hedgehog Group 2024 - 2025
Mr Puddick
Welcome back to Hedgehog Group, we hope you had a lovely summer break and we are excited to welcome the children back. The teacher in the Hedgehog class is Mr Puddick and the teaching assistants are Miss Jade, Mx Saperia and Mr Ali.
What we are learning this half term:
In English we are going to be developing our writing by looking at a narrative. We are going to be using the text; ‘The Stone Age Boy’ to develop our sentence structure. In Art we are going to be studying the work of Leonardo Da Vinci and learning how to draw an accurate nose. In Science, we will be learning about Electricity and exploring how to make an electrical circuit. In Geography, we are going to be looking at The Amazon and looking at its significance. In P.S.H.E, we are going to be further developing our work on emotions.
P.E.
Children will take part in weekly P.E lessons. P.E. will take place on individual days as per your child’s timetable. These days will be confirmed to you by Mr Puddick. Children must come to school in their PE kits (white top, black trousers/shorts/leggings and appropriate trainers). Please make sure children have the correct PE kit.
Reading
Children will be given two books a week to read at home. The first book will be matched to their reading ability. The second book will be a sharing book. This is a book the children have chosen themselves. They may not be able to read this independently however it encourages them to develop a love for reading. Children should read daily for 10 minutes. Children will be given a reading record to record when they have read to an adult at home. Please sign the reading record when you have read at home with your child or if they have read independently.
Homework and Spellings
In Hedgehog Group, maths homework will consist of Numbots and Timestable Rockstars. English homework will be to practise phonics and spellings. Homework will be handed out on Friday. Children will also be given 10 minutes of topic homework each week which will link to our knowledge organisers. Children’s logins will be stuck into the front of their homework books.
Please contact us if you have any questions,
Mr Puddick
