Happy Half Term!

Happy half term Hedgehogs and Hedgehog Parents!

It has been a busy, creative and marvellous first half term in Hedgehog class. All the children have settled in well and have been rekindling old friendships or making new ones. 

This week in our story, the Year 1 children made some special herbivore, carnivore and omnivore medicine to try and make sure the animals were taking their medicines.

Later on, the park keepers found an enormous tree that had fallen due to the storm, Unfortunately, it had been home to a lot of birds - the park keepers are in the middle of deciding what to do about them. For now, they are mainly roosting on the roof of Percy's hut. 




I'm sure you'll agree that the children did a wonderful job of telling you all the story of The Enormous Turnip during the Harvest Festival. I was very proud of them and I'm sure you were too!  We had practised it quite a few times, but Friday was our absolutely best performance ever. 

I am not going to set any compulsory or non-compulsory homework over this half term. The children have been working very hard and you all need a break! The only request I have is that you all keep reading.

My aim is to re-establish our Rising Stars account and send you all a Parentmail about it by Monday. This way you will all have extra books for the holidays. New parents -I will explain all about Rising Stars in the email! For now, your children should all have come home with two or three books for the holidays. 

Parents, thank you all for all you have been doing to help your children's learning this half term. I am looking forward to having everyone in full time soon!

Good bye for now!

Mrs Simpson
