Following the governments announcement of the further lockdown in England, there is a letter to all parents on parentmail which has a link to the survey for keyworker places for this week. The link to the survey is also below as we are having problems with uploading the parentmail (must be very busy!) Please complete the survey as soon as possible if you need a place for your child in keyworker provision;

Hello Hedgehogs!
I hope that you are all as excited to come back to school tomorrow as I am! I can’t wait to get back to it and spend some time with you all and get to know our new Reception children.
Mrs Johnson and I have put together our newsletter for the term and we’ve also included our topic overview so that you know what we’ll be learning about this term.
See you in the morning,
Mrs Farmer
Hello Hedgehogs at home.
Everything you need for yesterday today has been sent home already, but just in case you aren’t sure, here are your tasks…
Write a list of words to describe the different Christmas things, such as tinsel. Little lists have been provided for you to do this.
Maths is Christmas addition and subtraction. Follow the code to colour your answers and see what pictures appear!
Phonics is all about unscrambling the words to help the elf label the presents correctly. The second sheet is colouring the picture according to the sound and colour code. Instructions are at the top of both sheets.
In music we will be singing Christmas carols – why not hold your own performance and sing your favourite carols to someone at home?!
We are holding a special Christingle in school on Thursday afternoon. You can find out about what a Christingle is here https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/how-you-can-help/fundraise-and-events/christingle/what-is-christingle. Have a go at making your own Christingle at home.
We are decorating some salt dough tree decorations to take home in art. You can find out how to make and decorate some yourself here https://www.thebestideasforkids.com/salt-dough-ornament-recipe/.
On Friday afternoon we will be watching a Christmas movie and playing games together. Choose a festive film to watch at home and a game you love to play with your family.
We hope you have a lovely Christmas and look forwards to seeing you soon!

We are very proud to present this year’s Christmas Nativity by Hedgehog Class and Nursery. We wish all the families and friends of our school a very merry Christmas!
We’ve only got one week left in school before we start our Christmas holidays, so all your home learning this week has a Christmassy theme! 🎅
Phonics:
Have a go at playing this Christmas tree phonics game. Look carefully at the words and pictures on the baubles. Place each bauble onto the Christmas tree that shows the matching letter sound.
Maths:
Using all that you have learned in Maths this term, complete this Christmas Maths Booklet.
English:
Think about the tricky words you have been learning this term. Have a go at completing this Tricky words booklet.
Christmas Crafts:
In class today we are going to be making Christmas cards. We liked the look of these ones. Don’t worry if you don’t have pom poms or googley eyes, you can use paint or a pen and draw them on instead.
You can follow the step by step video: https://www.thebestideasforkids.com/christmas-handprint-cards/?jwsource=cl
I hope you have a good day!
Miss Horton 🙂
Some of the children in Hedgehog class enjoyed making a Christmas wreath today.
We made one wreath from tinsel and another with foliage. They were easy to do (we wound the tinsel or willow/foliage) around the frame and ta-da!
If you would like to make one with your child at home, please let us know and we will send home the metal ring that you will need to get going. Simply follow our picture instructions or get creative and design your own. We’d love to see photos of the finished results.
