Otters mystery reader and fantastic finish
Date: 24th May 2022 @ 3:41pm
What a fantastic finish to our term we have had today. Amelia’s Aunt and cousin are visiting from Australia and came to Otters today to be our mystery readers. They answered lots of questions about what Australia is like including how long it takes to get to England, what the weather is like and what animals are there. Thank you again to them both.

Otters have had a wonderful afternoon today. We visited Hebden Green School and played with the children there, making some new friends and enjoying their resources. Thank you to all the staff and pupils for accommodating us and to Mrs Leech for offering this opportunity to us and being our bus driver!

Otters have been busy this week showing all their characteristics of learning with their teen numbers. We have been creating and thinking critically as we leant that they always start with a 1 when we write them. Then we have been playing and exploring when we played a number hunt game to find the Numicon that matches our number. Then we have been showing active learning as we used the Numicon pieces to create our own London buildings.

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.

This week Otters have been using the text ’Someboday swallowed Stanley’ we have learned about jellyfish and the different oceans they swim in alongside how we can look after our oceans by recycling. We made our own jellyfish using plastic shower caps to look like Stanley. In our maths work we have been finding out about 3D shapes and which roll by testing them out on our ramps outside.

Otters week started off with a mystery arrival. A lost penguin and a message in a bottle. We had lots of lovely writing describing our new penguin friend and using atlas to find out where he might have come from. As part of our RE work we explored what an Easter Garden is and created our own garden using natural resources and the sand.

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.
