Then complete these addition calculations:

RE:

Today we will be talking about what we are thankful for. The past couple of weeks we have been talking about how Christian’s believe that God created the World, and that they are very thankful. Draw a picture of what you are thankful for and write a sentence about it.

I Am Thankful For…

Forest School:

At Forest School today we will be looking at the artist Andy Goldsworthy. He uses natural materials to make pieces of art. Have a look at his art work and have a go at creating a piece of your own.

Maths:

Today you will be practising your adding using a tens frame (this is a rectangle split into ten sections – we use them in class to help children visualise the numbers.). Cut out the ten frogs. Then place some on the lily pads and some in the water. So if you had 5 frogs on the lily pads and three frogs in the water how many would you have altogether? Change the number of frogs you use each time. Get an adult at home to play along with you.

English:

Listen to the story of ‘Lost and Found’. See if you can retell the story to an adult at home. Use the stick puppets to help you act it out. Think about what happened first, what happened in the middle and what happened last.

Reading:

Choose your favourite story and read it with an adult at home. Take time to have a look at the pictures, you might spot something you haven’t noticed before!

I hope you have a good day – any problems please do not hesitate to let us know

Hedgehogs Homework

Practise your scissor skills! We’ve been doing a few cutting and sticking activities in class this week and some of the children are struggling to use the scissors. Have a look at the skills cards then see if you can cut out and create an autumnal tree.

It’s lovely to see the work you do at home. Some of it is displayed on our wall in the classroom for everyone one to see!

Hedgehogs Homework

Hello Hedgehogs!

This week in class we are reading ‘Peace at Last’ and ‘Home’. We will be talking about our homes. I would like you to draw, make, build or paint your house! You can use any materials or resources you like (e.g. lego, playdough, chalk, paint etc). I’d love to see a picture of what you make!

Have fun

Hedgehogs Class Autumn Newsletter

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the new school year. We have been working hard to make sure that the classroom and outdoor area are ready and exciting for your children to enjoy. Mrs Ball has thought carefully about being COVID secure too and we would like to reassure you that we will try our very best to keep your children safe. At the heart of our classroom is a love of learning that we will endeavour to make sure remains despite new routines and ways of working during the pandemic.

This is our topic web that outlines what we will be doing in each area of learning this term.

Hedgehogs Autumn Term 2020 topic web Overview of activities

Our literacy work will focus on ‘Peace at Last’, ‘Lost & Found’, ‘Three Little Pigs’ and ‘There are no such things as monsters’, and we will also enjoy some festive activities nearer to Christmas! In Mathematics we are learning all about number, including counting forwards and backwards, representing numbers, using a number line, making 10 or 20 in different ways and addition and subtraction. We will explore 2D and 3D shapes and solve maths problems in everyday life.

The children will have PE with Jonny Hughes (PE Specialist) on a Wednesday afternoon so on a  Wednesday, children can come to school already in their PE kit wearing school shoes. Please make sure your child leaves their named pumps/trainers in school all term.

Forest School day is yet to be confirmed and we will let you know the arrangements for this as soon as possible. For the first few weeks Forest School will be on our school site with children in uniform.

Once we have settled into the new term your child will have homework every Monday set by Miss Horton and spellings each Thursday set by Mrs Johnson. Children will bring home their green homework and red spelling books soon. You do not need to bring these into school at all (as we are restricting carrying things between home and school as much as possible due to COVID). Homework and spelling activities will be found on the school website for you to copy/print and do in these books.

Children can bring a named water bottle to school each day. We will be sending home a reading book once a week in your child’s school book bag. Please use the reading diary provided to write down a little comment each time you hear your child read/read to your child at home.

We won’t be doing show and tell at the moment, again to limit the number of things carried between home and school – sorry! We know how much your children love show and tell and hope to bring it back soon.

We hope to be able to share your child’s work with you through Tapestry (Reception) and email (Year 1) each week, so please make sure we have your correct email or you know how to get on to tapestry.

If you have any questions please email us at school (admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk) and we will get back to you as soon as we can!

Thank you

Miss Horton (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning)

Mrs Johnson (Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday)

Well done for keeping going with the home learning or keeping safe in your bubbles at school – you’ve all been superstars!
