Welcome to Hedgehog Class!

Hedgehog class have lots of fun exploring our topics together and learning through play with our friends.

This term we will be learning about the seasons, our feelings and the feelings of others and festivals. We will be exploring what makes a good friend.

We are now fully-fledged members of our school community and enjoying all aspects of school life in the Lydden primary school family.

This year we are called 'Hedgehog Class'. 

Hedgehogs are popular small British garden animals that measure up to 30cm in length. They are nocturnal and can travel up to 2km a night. Baby hedgehogs are called hoglets. 

Hedgehog class maybe the youngest children in our school community, but we are super popular with our big friends throughout the school, and we love to hunt out adventures in our classroom and outside areas around the school. 

Useful information:

P.E will be on a Tuesday and a Thursday. 

Frank, our school therapy dog visits class once a week too, usually on a Tuesday. 

Home Learning

Children will be bringing library books, and soon reading books, home on a Friday. Please share the books the children bring home, talk about the stories and enjoy the pictures.

Please remember if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
