Welcome to Hedgehogs Class

Mrs Hall 

Welcome back!

Our topic this term in Around the World.  We will be using a world map to locate continents and oceans, look at photographs of different locations, describe key features of countries and look at the adventures of different explorers.

We will be writing poetry, a description of a disgusting sandwich,  instructions and letters.

In maths, we will be focusing on number and place value.

Indoor PE and outdoor PE re both on Tuesday.  Please come into school in your PE kit. Long hair must be tied back and no jewellery is to be worn. 

Forest School is on a Thursday afternoon (we will post specific dates at the start of each term).

School bags only need to be small (just big enough for a book and reading record.  Pencil cases, should your child want to bring one, needs to be small enough to fit in their tray.  The only need HB pencils, a ruler, rubber, sharpener, glue stick and colouring pencils.

A healthy snack of fruit or vegetable will be provided each day.  If you want to send your child in with their own fruit or vegetable snack this is also ok.  Please also ensure your child has a named water bottle.  These can be refilled when necessary throughout the school day.

Homework

Edshed

Maths and Spelling homework will be on Edshed weekly for you to complete. In addition to the weekly assignments, please encourage your child to select the 'planets' in Maths shed and practice their fluency in number bonds to 10, 20 and times tables.

Reading at Home

You should listen to your child read aloud 3 times a week. Please note this in their Reading Record. Children are encouraged to read for pleasure as much as possible. 

Times Table Rockstars

GARAGE – times tables set by the teacher

JAMMING – choose your own times tables to practise. You are able to select multiplication, division or a mixture of both. You can also choose the number of questions to answer. 

STUDIO – general practise to improve your ‘Rock Status’. It will also give you your average speed.

SOUNDCHECK – this activity will give the children 6 seconds to answer a random set of 25 questions. This is the speed they will need once they get to Year 4 so they may not be ready for this speed just yet.
