Hedgehogs

Welcome to Hedgehogs class!
 
We are a mixed year 1 and 2 class of 11 pupils. 
 
The staff members:-
  • Joanna is the teacher
  • Kelsey, Amy and Charlotte are our teaching assistants.
 
Our topic this term is "My Home". Further detail can be found in the Spring Term overview attached above. 
 
We access a range of sensory based experiences through the use of additional rooms and facilities around the school throughout the week. 
 
In Hedgehogs we do a lot of our learning through play, as well as group inputs and workstation activities. We will add photos below so you can see all the fun we have been having. 
 
On this page you will find resources, links and ideas to support any home learning or extra curricular activity you may want to take part in. This will be split into Literacy & Communication, Maths, Topic themes and sensory! Please do get in contact for any specific things you might need.
