Beautiful manners

Meet a very polite young gentleman.  The staff in Hedgehogs love having Josh in the class because he is always so helpful, tries so hard, and is always in the right place at the right time.  What a superstar!

The most AMAZING blue frog!

My goodness, Joshua has been working hard!  He has drawn a beautiful poisonous blue frog (who lives in the rainforest and says 'ribbit'!), and has typed up some amazing sentences about it.  I am very impressed by his fabulous work and the way he can talk about it.  Brilliant stuff, Joshua!

What is Easter all about?

Sophie really enjoys her R.E. lessons.  That's why, after writing a detailed explanation of Easter in class, she went home and wrote another copy of all the things she had remembered.  It's lovely that you are so enthusiastic about your learning, Sophie.  Well done you!

Perfect picture

Max is so pleased with his drawings of giraffes, and from this picture you can see why!  I love the giraffe's spotty body and also the fact that Max chose to do two drawings.  Well done, superstar!

Elsa, Autumn and Sam have been pretending to be a character from The Jungle Book and then writing an account in the first person.  They have used some great adjectives and vocabulary choices to describe the events in a really interesting way.  Well done, folks!

Division made easy

Oliver finds division really easy when he chunks numbers using a number line.  He spots the number he's dividing by and then counts up until he reaches the number he is dividing.  What clever thinking!

Clever adding

Olivia has been doing some really grown-up maths.  She has been adding two-digit numbers by partitioning the tens and ones, and then adding them all back up again.  Great work, cleverclogs!

Bush tucker trials
