Welcome to our Year R, Hedgehog Class page 

Class Teacher: Miss A Hassan

PE Days: Monday and Friday 

In Hedgehog class we are just beginning our exciting journey through Thorpe Acre Infant School. In our class we work hard on developing our understanding of ourselves and our feelings, making friendships, communicating effectively with others and learning rules and routines. 

Please click on the link below for all the information on what we are learning about this half-term. 

Year R

Maths: We have been embedding our learning around the numbers 6, 7 and 8. We have been looking at different representations of the numbers and using these to help us think about how they are made. For example: 3 plus 3 equals 6, but so does 4 plus 2. 

Literacy: The children were very excited to see a video of our classroom where it had been covered in snow! There were lots of ideas about how it happened! Throughout the week, we have been learning about what it might be like to live in a cold place e.g. what clothes we might need to wear and what animals we might see.

Year R

In Literacy, the children have continued to learn about Space. The children formulated their own questions, then we used a non-fiction text to find the answers. We used our knowledge on Space to create our own non-fiction book. 

In Maths, they have been learning about the numbers 6, 7 and 8.  We looked at how they can be represented in different ways. We also found '1 more' and '1 less' than 6, 7 and 8.

Literacy - The children have loved learning about space! They have learnt names of the planets, including Earth, and have thought about their order in relation to the distance from the sun.

Maths - They have been exploring mass and capacity. The children have used cubes and a set of balance scales to work out how heavy an object is.
