Hedgehog Class

Welcome back, and for those is year 5, welcome to Hedgehog class! We hope that you all had an enjoyable summer break and are ready for the year ahead. 

Here is some useful class information to start the year. 

Hedgehog class will be taught by Mrs Fowler, Mrs Ambrose and Mrs Hayes. Mrs Fowler will be in class on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Mrs Ambrose will be in class on Thursday and Friday. Mrs Hayes will support Hedgehog class Monday to Thursdays in the mornings. 

PE will be every Monday and Wednesday. Please come into school in appropriate PE clothing (trainers, suitable bottoms and a white T Shirt). Please ensure that earrings are removed or taped on these days and hair is tied back. 

All children are expected to read to an adult at least three times a week, though the more often, the better! 

This year children will have weekly spellings which will be tested on a Friday. We will ensure that time is given to practice their words during the school day, but children will need to also practice their spellings at home. We ask that you support them with this and encourage them to take ownership over learning them. 

Rapid recall of all the times tables will continue to be a big focus as this supports the children greatly in their maths lessons. All the children will have a TTRS account and will be encouraged to practice whenever possible. Letters with the log in details will come home this week. 

Can you please ensure that children have their names on all their belongings, especially jumpers and coats. It makes it much easier for us to return them to their rightful owner.

Please can you provide a healthy fruit or vegetable-based snack for your child every day, they get very hungry by break time!

Children are encouraged to stay hydrated throughout the day, please provide your child with a suitably sized, named bottle each day. 

As always, if you have any queries or questions, please feel free to talk to us. 

 We look forward to a brilliant year and thank you for your ongoing support. 

Kind regards, 

The Hedgehog Team
