Mr Puddick
Welcome to Hedgehog Group, we hope you had a lovely spring 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, Mr Ali and Miss Iram.
What we are learning this half term:
In English we are going to be continue to develop our writing skills by looking at a poem. We are going to be using the text; ‘I Asked the Little Boy who Cannot See' . We are going to use this text to develop ourvocabulary and poetic technicues such as similes and metaphors. In History we are going to be exploring the impact of World War 2. We will be looking at what caused World War 2, The Blitz and the chages in life for women. In Science, we will be exploring climate change. We will be learning about renewable and non-renewable resoruces and where our rubbish goes. In Religion and Worldviews, we are going to answering the key question ' Does belief in Akhirah (life after death) help Muslims lead good lives?'
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
All children will read with an adult daily in school. This book will be matched to their reading ability. They will have a second book that is 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,
