Welcome to Hedgehog Class

I hope you had a lovely half term break and I am looking forward to having you back at school to continue our autumn term.

In English, we are going to be reading "I Want My Hat Back."  During the three weeks exploring this text, we will be using role play to explore characters' feelings, make predictions and write letters.  Through modelled and shared writing, we will be writing our own sequel "I Want My Friend Back."  We will then move on to the story "Billy and the Beast."  

In maths, we are going to be continuing our addition and subtraction unit, and then moving on to shape, learning about 2D and 3D shapes.  As the children complete a unit of work from White Rose, we assess them to gain their overall understanding of the unit.  The data collected from that is then used to plan future consolidation sessions to ensure all gaps are covered.  The assessment they complete is sent home with them so you can see how they got on.  The assessments are done in small groups, and the children enjoy showing off what they can do!

In Year One, our foundation subjects are usually taught in the afternoon, and we block teach our subjects.  Music, PSHE and PE are all taught weekly. We are fortunate enough to have a PE coach in for our PE sessions for November.  They will be teaching the children multi sports skills. Our afternoon learning will start with Geography, where we will be learning all about maps.  We will move on to DT where we will be creating moving pictures.  In science, we will be exploring every day materials, carrying out experiments to determine which materials are best suited for specific things.  Our RE learning will be based around Christianity and the Christmas Story.  The children will also be taking part in lots of festive activities!

General reminders:

Our PE lessons are on Friday afternoons. We will also be visiting the Library on Friday's and the children need to bring their library books in then so that they can choose a new book.

Please bring reading books to school every day - we will normally change them on a Monday.
