Hedgehogs' Wow Starter_Spring Term

Our Wow Starter for our Minibeasts Study Theme
We began our new study theme searching for minibeasts in our woodland. We found worms, spiders, a centipede and a woodlouse. But then came Dave...
Dave brought a whole host of minibeasts for a truly 'creepy crawly' show. We met Charlie the Hissing Cocroach; Millie, the Giant African Millipede; Rosie the Chile Rose Tarantula; Finando the Black Beauty Stick Insect and Pricilla the Flat Rock Scorpian. They were all very sociable. We even 'high fived' the tarantula and shock hands with the scorpian!
We later met some animals which like to eat the minibeasts, like Leonardo de Geko the Geko, Hooter the Barn Owl and Tina the Tenrec.
Finally we met some animals further up the food chain - some snakes.
We throroughly enjoyed our visitors today and are looking forward to learning lots more about these amazing creatures.
Hedgehogs' Fantastic Finish - Flying High
Date: 29th Dec 2022 @ 1:46pm
Our ‘Fantastic Finish’ to our Autumn Term Study Theme. inspired by the Wright Brothers, the Hedgehogs’ class designed and made their own aeroplanes. We thought carefully about the materials to use and the shape of the wings. We then raced them. Some flew high, some flew low and some flew far.

Our Hedgehogs' Class have been learning about The Parable of the Mustard seed in RE. Today, they performed a song about seeds at our Harvest Service.
Something small can most definitely become something much bigger.

To enrich our curriculum, the Hedgehogs' Class visited the Museum of Liverpool today.
We were able to see and therefore show a better understanding of 'The History of Transport'. We saw and learnt about lots of different modes of transport, including:
a steam train, a tram, a lorry, horse drawn carriages, bicycles and cars.
We also met a very large bird! Not a mode a transport but who couldn't visit Liverpool without meeting the Liver birds?

As artists, the Hedgehogs' Class have been busy learning to use different grades of pencil to create their self portraits.
Hedgehogs' Class travel back in time.
Date: 6th Sep 2022 @ 9:19pm
Hedgehogs' Class were transported back in time today, to see how we could have travelled in the past.
A time machine was delivered yesterday. Mrs B followed the instructions carefully to make the machine, however there were a few parts left over when she'd finished!
We wanted to travel to the future so that we could go shopping in a fast car but the machine took us back in time to the 1800's - oops! Mrs B's car had changed into a pony and trap. We loved meeting Chance the pony and we learnt how it felt to travel by this unexpected mode of travel. It was a bit bumpy, but lots of fun.

A visit from some African animals
Date: 19th Apr 2022 @ 2:02pm
Wow! What a super start to our new Study Theme – Africa.
We were joined this morning by Nathan and Steven from Zoo2U. They brought with them an array of African animals. We met ‘The Captain’, the one-eyed tortoise. She usually lives in the Sahara desert. We then met ‘Jelani’ the African-spotted eagle owl who isn’t usually awake in the daytime and then we met ‘August’ the Boa Constrictor, all the way from Madagscar. Our favourite was ‘Tojo’ the Tenrec. She is also from Madagascar and although she looked a little like a hedgehog, is actually related to the elephants!

Hedgehog’s Spring Term 2022 Learning
Inventions
Can I invent and create something new?
The answer to this was most certainly yes!
Hedgehogs have been awesome inventors this term. From designing and creating their own inventions, to being inspired by artists such as Michael Lang and his mechanical art, to learning about Stone Age and Iron Age Celtic inventors.
We have been on an amazing journey of innovation.

Over the last term, Mrs Finch has been working with each class in school to choreograph a series of dances for our Lion King production. The children were then given the opportunity to take on an acting role to join our dances together to retell the story of Lion King.
The key characters were taken on by two or three members of the school community. This allowed children from Reception through to Year 6 to take on leading roles.

Hedgehogs have had the most amazing time at Burwardsley. They have been orienteering, woodland walking, den making, hammock building, lighting fires, singing around the campfire, exploring a round house, taking part in an archaeological dig and making some clay pots. They had a ball and learnt so much.

Hedgehogs have been celebrating their homework achievements for this half term. We enjoyed, robot dances, time machine demonstrations and many more amazing inventions.
Well done everyone.

The orange represents the world;
The ribbon represents God's love;
The four sticks represent the four seasons;
and the sweets represent God's creations.

Year 1 & 2 travelled back in time today to meet Mrs Grimm, a Victorian teacher and Emerald Pity the housemaid. We learned alot about what is was like to be a Victorian child. The teachers were very strict - not like Mrs B! We acted out some of the jobs children had, like working in the coal mines or working as servants for Sir Warmly. This has inspired us to find out much more...

Hedgehogs lights are shining so brightly at the moment. We are so proud of how hard they are working and the amazing progress they are all making. We've had another great week, highlights this week include making observational sketches of sunflowers, enjoying two great PE lessons, discovering the lifecycle of a bean, writing about Jack and the Beanstalk and solving some really tricky multiplication and division problems. We've also been practicing our counting in twos, fives and tens and we are just loving our class book Fantastic Mr Fox, we can't wait to read more chapters next week!
