English
In English Hedgehogs have been continuing to write more facts about their chosen theme ensuring that it makes sense and remembering their capital letters at the start of their sentence, finger spaces in between their words and full stops at the end of their sentences. We also practised writing words using cursive script, identifying the suffix “s”
For example, flower –> flowers. We have continued to do phonics daily each day too.
Maths
In Maths Hedgehogs have recapped their number bonds to 10. They also used their number bonds to help them answer 2-digit sums when adding on ones. We focused on solving word problems using different manipulative as well as looking at subtraction and addition families.
For example:
8 + 4 = 12. 12 = 8 + 4
4 + 8 = 12. 12 = 4 + 8
12 – 8 = 4 4 = 12 – 8
12 – 4 = 8 8 = 12 – 4
Geography
In Geography Hedgehogs have continued to look at human and physical features in order to make comparisons between London and the Isle of Struay. We know that physical features are things that have naturally been here even before us and human features are things that have been built by people. We identified the different physical and human features in London and Isle of Struay and compared them.



Music
In music Hedgehogs focused on body percussion and adding it to their songs. We created different hand actions and used instruments for our songs. We really loved doing the warm ups with the Mrs Stewart!
Computing
In computing we have continued to practise typing using both hands. This week we learnt how to copy and paste. We all had the opportunity to pick pictures and copy and paste them onto our documents to match our sentences. We practised this with iPads.




D&T
In D&T Hedgehogs have focused on user and what a user is.
A user is someone that operates something or something that is made for them. We had so much fun with Miss Arthur and Mrs Stewart creating fruit/vegetable kebabs for our users Molly and Jerry. We all explained why we picked specific fruits and vegetables for our user. We can’t wait to make our own fruit and vegetable kebabs!
R.E
In R.E Hedgehogs have continued to learn about the Hinduism religion. We identified the Holy Books Hindus that are very important to them. They are called: Veda, Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. However, not all Hindus read the same text! The Bhagavad Gita is seen to be the Hindus Holy book!
We had the opportunity to talk about our special book and explain why it is special/ important to us.
Hedgehogs also looked at a story of Krishna and Sudhama which is about the bond of true friendship! This story teaches Hindus good principles of life.
Have a lovely Half term!
Miss Arthur
