Hedgehogs
Welcome to the Summer term
In Hedgehogs Class our topic for the Summer term will be “Get Set Go!” We will be discovering all about our health and how to look after ourselves; how to get fit, eat well, and be happy! We will explore a variety of sports and types of exercises and find out how physical activity can be fun AND keep us fit. We will also be exploring our senses, learning to sequence the human life cycle and compare it to other animals!
During our International Week, we will be learning all about Costa Rica; the famous landmarks and buildings, traditional food and listening to music associated with Costa Rica. If you or your child would like to bring in any souvenirs or have any interesting facts, your teacher would love to hear or see them during our International Week!
Within our Art topic, we will be exploring printing and making marks with different materials. We will create a printing block based on a Costa Rican ox cart with repeating shapes. In Design and Technology we will learn how to create simple levers and sliders and create our very own moving cards!
Our Science topic will focus on our health, senses, the human life cycle, and animal life cycles. We will also be looking at the seasons. During our History lessons, we will be focusing on the history of football!

PE
We have PE every Wednesday. We ask that your child wears their PE kit to school on this day. Please could earrings be removed and longer hair tied back on PE days. PE kit should include black shorts, a white t-shirt, plimsolls and black tracksuit bottoms or leggings.
Please also ensure that your child has spare clothing in their bags in case of any toilet accidents. These should be kept in school on your child’s coat peg.
COOKING
The children will take part in cooking / food preparation activities throughout this term, learning a range of useful life skills linked to cooking. Food will be consumed in class in our daily snack session.
HOMEWORK
Each week your child’s homework will be to complete 30 minutes of Reading Eggs which is assessed and monitored weekly and a task on School Jam, a Maths App linked to Power Maths.
Children will read daily in school as part of their RWI lesson, and we ask that they also read at home three times a week with diaries being read and signed each time. This will help your child to receive their reading sticker, also each Friday, each class will be competing for the reading trophy in celebration assembly - the more children that read 3 times a week the more chance we have of winning!
If you have any queries in regard to this homework, please don't hesitate to speak to Mrs Howes or Mrs McNorton.
