The children in Hedgehog class often take trips to the local library each week, on our most recent trip they each chose stories and read through some to peers, they also enjoyed listening to stories from the adults.
On the journey to and from the library, the children were very enthusiastic and engaged in our communication walk. They used the communication windows to talk about what they could see or hear on our journey they also made up games such as ‘who can spot’ In which the children would compete about who could see the most of something from our communication window.
They vocalised about how they had a good time.
The children were also invited to do a book swap for World Book Day, and they each swapped and chose some stories that they read to friends and independently, whilst they were dressed up in costume/fancy dress.
Article 13 (freedom of expression) Every child must be free to express their thoughts and opinions and to access all kinds of information, as long as it is within
the law.
The children in Hedgehog class have been learning about wind directions and map reading for Geography. They each designed their own weather vanes which is used to indicate the direction of the wind and they did this by following step by step instructions. They then searched for specific locations on the map to understand how to read a map. For an extension, the children took their weather vanes outside and put them to the test.
They each expressed how they had a fantastic time in Geography and was very eager to use the Wind vane that they each made.
Well done Hedgehogs.

The children in Hedgehog class have been learning all about black history month recently, they each showed a great level of engagement and eagerly participated in activities that encouraged more knowledge on this topic. They listened to stories and facts, and they each displayed how much they enjoyed hearing about historic people that made a massive difference with their contributions and achievements to ensure racial equality, freedom and the impact of black heritage.
The children read through a variety of books/reading materials and looked at some art displays, they designed their own masks with ideas from artist displaying a range of African masks. They listened to stories and music of people from different cultures and ended with a jam session in which the children danced alongside their peers and enjoyed some reggae music.

Some of the children in Hedgehog class had a great time being out in the community, they began with an adventurous ‘look and mark’ tally chart, in which the children were set a mission to see who could spot the most in regards to the things on the list. Some children showed great team work sharing and tallying up what they could see and some displayed how competitive they were when taking part, each of them had a great time whilst on the journey.
The children then had the chance to visit a supermarket, they happily looked at all the variety of foods that were there, expressing their favourite foods what they liked and disliked. The children were asked to decide on a healthy snack and a unhealthy snack, they then went on a search for their chosen treats and then paid at the check out.
The children shared how much they enjoyed the trip out which was lovely to see. #outinthecommunity #shopping #delamereschool#environment
